“If Holder brings charges against him”
What charges? They would have to charges of a high nature to lose your benefits, such as willingly divulging classified material.
Just having an affair might result in a reduction of rank, but it would take a conviction resulting in prison time to lose all benefits.
Remember you are talking about a 4 star general.
Really? I would think that his revelation about "classified" information during the investigation would be easily enough spun to support anything Holder wants to charge him with.
Remember Scooter Libby and Sandy Berger? Holder charged the Sherif Arapoe (sp?) on BS and sued a state to prevent them from enforcing laws.
How can you have confidence in the federal justice system?
