I always believed Broadwell to be a honeytrap..
You CAN’T fire Flynn for lying about the stupid phone calls with the Russian ambassador and replace him with PETRAEUS who’s actually been convicted of perjury etc. Just CAN’T DO IT! That would look crazy and it would BE crazy.
Petraeus would love a little payback ,LOL
This increases the likelihood that Petraeus is a good pick.
I agree.Betrayus is no hero of mine. He just set a good standard for criminal security violation which hillary blew away like smoke!! GET THAT DAMNED COMEY GONE!! Trump are you NUTS? LOCK HER UP!! NOW!!~
David French? The putative Egg McMuffin? That guy?
The FBI doesn’t report political smears unless they’re ordered to from DOJ or the White Hut.
Can they just clone Mattis?
French = The stopped clock.
Just say no to anyone with a connection to NR.
Not that I disagree with him about Petraeus, but David French is a literal cuckservative.
In the middle of a fire you don’t give more fuel. Petraeus is already compromised. It would be foolish, unless it is an operation, to throw a line of attack to the alt-left.
On top of D.P.’s woman/security problem (and it is BIG), the guy is as anti-gun as Hell.
From an Gun Owners of America email that I just got a few minutes ago:
“Unfortunately, someone in the administration must really like Petraeus, because now his name is being considered again — despite the fact that he is a convicted criminal.
For leaking national security secrets.
To his mistress.
If appointed, Petraeus would still be on probation — while serving in the country’s most sensitive national security post.
And that’s the “good” part.
On the “bad” side, Petraeus is an anti-gun loon who was co-founder, with the husband of Gabrielle Giffords, of Veterans Coalition for Common Sense — a phony organization of “useful idiots” designed to convince politicians that veterans favor gun control.
An Anti-gunner as the National Security Advisor Could Inflict Much Damage
As National Security Advisor, Petraeus would be the arbiter of intelligence coming in from the CIA, FBI, NSA, State Department, and other intelligence sources.
Among the issues which could come across his desk is the question of whether to revoke anti-gun arms trade (ITAR) regulations — and the question of whether to withdraw from the UN ATT.
Petraeus could be expected to argue the anti-gun side of both of these issues.
Unless Trump withdraws ITAR guidance, it will be effectively illegal to be a “gunsmith” with respect to any firearm on the Munitions List or the Commerce Department’s Arms list.
You would be considered a criminal “gunsmith” if you took a tool to a gun (other than for purely cosmetic purposes) or if you replaced a part, one-for-one, and the new part made the gun function better.
Also under ITAR regulations, you would be a criminal if you conveyed any “how-to” information on the Internet with respect to any Munitions List gun.
Petraeus is expected to fight for the continuation of both of these ITAR interpretations.
In addition, Petraeus could be expected to fight for the UN Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), which would require a national gun registry — and which would allow any president to ban all handguns, all semi-autos, or most AR-15 ammunition — all by executive fiat.
It has been said that, “Personnel is policy.”
And Petraeus, if he were appointed National Security Advisor, would represent anti-gun policy.”
