It’s purely coincidental, I’m sure, but Clinton data has gone missing at least two times before the current things-go-missing fiasco.
In 2003 information about the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 was stolen from the National Archives by Sandy Berger. Berger served in the administration of Bill Clinton. Mrs. Clinton tapped Berger to advise her 2008 presidential campaign despite the fact he had been convicted and sentenced for his crime. The sentence was light, of course, because Berger is a member of the political privilege class. Americans will never be able to trust details about what Berger stole because he destroyed documents.
The National Archives was hit again in 2009, six years after Berger’s theft. The quantity of data gone missing on a disk was a whopper, estimated by the National Archives and Records Administration’s Inspector General and the US Congress as one terabyte of data. Among the information missing: more than 100,000 social security numbers, Secret Service and White House event logs, political records and other “highly-sensitive information.”
Media made little of that theft. The IG said the quantity of data missing was the “approximate equivalent of millions of books.”
Thus, Clinton data went missing in 2003, 2009, and 2015...
