A former Coca-Cola employee received an eight-year sentence on a single cospiracy charge. She conspired to steal and sell the secret formula that Coca-Cola carefully guards. Eight years. That's a long time.
Sandy Berger actually stole classified government documents, smuggled them out of the National Archives, intentionally destroyed them, and received community service, probabtion, and a $50,000 fine. Apparently, the courts think that a secretary who planned on stealing Coca-Cola's formula poses a greater threat to our freedoms and public safety than a thief who abused his government privileges to steal and destroy classified documents. Lock her away for eight years, lest she wreak more havoc on our republic.
Wow.
