Two senior foreign policy hands from the Clinton Administration are joining forces.
Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger to former President Clinton are merging their two consulting firms-Stonebridge International and the Albright Group-into one firm called Albright Stonebridge Group. Berger has had some other big names working with him at Stonebridge, such as former Sen. Warren Rudman, R-N.H. and former Citigroup CEO Charles Prince.
Stonebridge, which has also had a strategic partnership with Hogan & Hartson, is not a traditional lobbying firm. Instead, it provides consulting for companies looking to do businesses in China, Brazil, and other countries. The Albright Group has also employed Wendy Sherman, now listed as a vice chair at the newly merged firm. She's a former top State Department official under Albright and an ex-CEO of Fannie Mae Foundation. (For full disclosure, Sherman is also married to a National Journal employee)

When Sandy Berger was in the Clinton administration there was no issue he took more seriously then getting the ability to export satellite technology from Loral over to China.
It is not surprizing to find he is up to his same tricks, providing "consulting for companies looking to do businesses in China".
The Clinton machine was the most corrupt operation Washington ever had---and that is really saying something!
