Sandy Scissorhands
Get this. Former National Security Advisor Sandy "Scissorhands" Berger went to the National Archives to review sensitive documents being studied by the 9/11 commission regarding the Clinton administration's handling of terrorism. He stuffed documents down his pants, left the Archives, and then shredded the documents with scissors. When busted, he repeatedly lied about what happened. (Now, remember -- since prosecutors have seemingly forgotten -- these documents have relevance because of their relation to 9/11, one of the defining moments of American, and maybe world, history.)
For this, he will plead to a misdemeanor, pay a fine and get a 3-year suspension of his national security clearance.
If some kid went in a store and Bergered a Rolex, he'd do time for a felony. In my law practice, if I Bergered sensitive documents, I'd be disbarred and my client would get slapped. Unbelievable.
