What are the chances that two people involved in the defense of
pants-stuffer Sandy Berger would have the same not-so-common name of
Lanny? Last summer, when Berger was first accused of stealing
classified documents from the National Archives at the behest of Bill
Clinton, it was former Clinton aide Lanny Davis
who came to his vocal defense. Now, as Berger pleads guilty to the very
charges that Lanny Davis thought were simply outrageous, his lawyer
happens to be one Lanny Breuer.
Stranger than fiction. No confirmation yet that this is the same person
as “Lanny Brewer” who shows up in depositions and press conference
transcripts involving Whitewater and Filegate.
