Like the ones "found" on Sharyl Atkisson's laptop?
As hateful as this effort is, it could provide the precedent for going after obama and holder for giving classified information to their hollywood pals.
“Candlestick” yes. The other stuff, don’t know.
Saddam Hussein’s arms dealer in Europe Nadhmi Auchi, Alsammarae the post invasion Iraqi Electricity Minister, Rezko of Syrian background, Benghazi, Libya, Iraq, Companion Security, ...oh yeah, lots of goods to dig up.
There were once Freepers wishing he’d run for President though it was obvious he was a Democrat since the Iraq war. They only supported him because of his military record.

Or was it Dr. Love in the Lincoln Bedroom with the Beef Stick?
So far no evidence has been presented that anything unlawful happened beyond an affair. The stuff they claim was classified that was reported in the press- that was used as justification to search her house- along with the claim by a Lebanese woman in Tampa that Broadwell emailed her with a threat- was nothing anyone did not already know and was not harmful to the war effort- quite the opposite. But it was harmful to the administration’s propaganda campaign on Benghazi.
Since she had a security clearance it is unclear whether or not anything was given to her intentionally to use at a military records facility and she decided on her own to take anything home, if she did, or if someone gave her classified materials knowing she would take them off site.
And with this admin there’s no telling if anything was really found in her house, much less how it got there- this president got into his first political office by unlawfully arranging for the release of sealed divorce documents of his opponent... and this is the administration that arranged for the very public and uncalled-for perp walk of a third rate filmmaker for violating his parole in using his free speech, and then whose Secretary of State threatened to go after this same filmmaker in making what she thought was a “soothing” promise of revenge to the father of one of the slain former seals. And this admin’s second Sec of State has a Nixonian history as his brother broke into the campaign headquarter’s of Kerry’s opponent way back when- I doubt anyone in this administration has had any epiphanies or come-to-Jesus moments so they are likely not above it now.
Not to mention this president owes some favors to donors who happened to be linked to the former regime in Iraq such as Nadhmi Auchi via Rezko, and Hallary’s pal Tariq Aziz, both of whom are enemies of Petraeus and the US.
Broadwell was supposedly also in contact with a Lebanese woman [with ties to the administration’s next Sec of State John Kerry as I recall and who also had visited the White House] who was hobnobbing at McDill and who also had potential access to classified materials through her involvement with assorted generals.
Obviously there are some serious security issues here but there is obviously a political elements here, too.
And as a reminder from the past, the impeached former president traded a 50 year advantage in missile technology gained at the cost of some $10 trillion in defense investments, for a $200,000 donation to the library fund. For that tiny sum, Loral was permitted to assist the Chicoms’ space program beat their pesky exploding rocket problem by giving them proprietary tech. As expected, the Chicoms suddenly made tremendous advances in their nuclear missile program without having to invest, study, fail, rinse, repeat.

It has a strong stench of pure politics.

Petraeus should wade into the lawless .gov thugs with an MP-5
Hillary set this in motion years ago and hasn’t thought about the general since. She will be as surprised as anyone that the sad sack is sweating bullets.
that was my first thought, its a serious shot across the bow,
keep that hanging over his head for a while and there wont be any unnecessary volunteering of information about Obama and Hillarys incompetence,
This is what I posted on the NY Times Comments page.
I don’t think it will survive “moderation”. LOL
“So, when is Bill Clinton going to be charged with a Felony for exposing Monica Lewinsky to Classified Information when she was “visiting” the Oval Office?
Oh wait, I’m still waiting for the Felony Pedophilia charges to be filed against him for screwing those 17 Year Old Teenage Girls his Big Money Democrat Contributor friend hired for him”.
“it has a strong stench of pure politics”
Yep, and if I was the General I’d go on offense before Justice
makes the call.
they want someone to use as a distraction.
This morning, Feinstein said that she thinks he’s suffered enough and they should drop it
Update: looks like admin had to walk that cat back...
Feinstein on Petraeus: ‘It’s done. It’s over.’
http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/11/politics/senators-defend-petraeus/index.html
I take it back, the admin hasn’t walked it back, they just clammed up. It’s the usual bunch in the Senate that are trying to walk this leak back.
