So, Paula Broadwell accepts classified documents but, is given a pass?

Because there was sex involved?

What? They were going to ask about details like when they got it on, where they did it, favorite positions, etc?

Gimme a break

Because his wife was given a position by Obama and he’s a hard core NWO globalist democrat?

That’s just the first thing that comes to mind.

Wasn’t he stripped of his security clearance and fined?

If that was done to Hillary.. she could not serve as President... that and the sitting President being aware of the email server... would have caused a loss of confidence in our government... thus... no charges.

Here is mt theory. Patraeus was a threat. He knew way too much about weapons supplied to the AlQaeda affiliates in Libya and many other career enders for higher ups including hillary. Broadwell was paid to stalk him and bring him down? I understand she has government clearance anyway. Therefore, If you have an undercover agent on a sting, you don’t ever prosecute that agent. This one seems pretty clear to me. Where is she today? Government?

My understanding of the Petraeus issue was that he had a top secret security clearance, but his biographer Broadwell (who was also a military officer) also had a security clearance. The problem was that her security clearance did not match exactly with the information that Petraeus shared with her. That information was mostly verbal and hand written notes of security meetings which was to be background for the biography. During their time together, they developed an affair, which created other problems because they were both military officers.

The bottom line is, the classified information that Petraeus shared technically violated the law in this situation so that is why the govt wanted to charge him with multiple felonies. But the fact is Broadwell never used any of the classified information in the biography, nor forwarded it to anyone else, so that is why she was never charged. So essentially you have classified information being exchanged between 2 people, both of which have security clearances, but not technically valid for the information they exchanged. This makes proving the case difficult for the govt and is why they went after a misdemeanor confession for only Petraeus and got it.

This was probably the correct course of action, but when you compare this with how Hitlery handled classified info, what she has done is 1000x worse and she got off scott free. This just shows that the Rule of Law only applies to Repugs, and not Dumbcrats.

David Petraeus was once considered future Republican Presidential Superstar material.

What a steaming pile of s#!t he turned out to be.

I’m guessing someone’s got the goods on James B. Comey... Maybe he thinks he can do a ‘petraeus’... He’s wrong - - - it’s not gonna work.

Wonder if the real reason is that they didn’t want the Lebanese Kelley sisters brought up into the news cycle again because of where those two’s trails lead.
