« We have one set of laws in this country, and they apply to everyone, » said special counsel Jack Smith in handing down a multi-count criminal indictment against Donald Trump. « Adherence to the rule of law is a bedrock principle of the Department of Justice. »
The nation may have « one set of laws, » but the subsequent clause, « they apply to everyone, » makes a very dark joke out of Smith’s unseemly boast.

Unlike all of his predecessors, Berger, a trade lawyer and lobbyist, had no foreign policy expertise. What he did have was the trust of the president and the absence of any known scruples.
Clinton would entrust Berger, his ultimate fixer, with some highly sensitive assignments, most notably the astonishingly self-serving deals with China. The pair deserve their own special circle in hell for helping turn China into a superpower.
As with Trump, Berger’s case involves defense secrets and the National Archives. In April 2002, Clinton designated Berger as his representative to review intelligence documents in advance of the various hearings on 9/11.
As a 2007 report by the House Committee on Government Oversight and Reform specified, Berger did not welcome this assignment.
According to the archivists, Berger « indicated some disgust with the burden and responsibility of conducting the document review. » It was hard to blame him.
To purge the archives of incriminating documents, Berger risked everything – his reputation, his livelihood, his very freedom. Whatever he swiped had to have the potential to rewrite history.
According to the House report, Berger made four trips to the National Archives.
