Remember Berger's "mistake" ?

Former National Security Adviser Samuel R. Berger was fined $50,000 by a federal judge yesterday for illegally taking classified documents out of the National Archives by stuffing them in his pants...Mr. Berger initially claimed he took the documents as the result of an "honest mistake," but later admitted he placed the classified records in his pants and jacket, and put other classified documents in a leather portfolio...The document theft raised questions about whether Mr. Berger was attempting to cover up the Clinton administration's anti-terrorism policies and actions.

At the time, Bill Clinton dismissed the matter with a chuckle. "The innocent explanation is the most likely one," Mr. Clinton told reporters in Colorado. "We were all laughing about it on the way over here."
