Petraeus sentenced: 2 years probation; $100K fine - CNNPolitics.com
april 23 2015
Gen. David Petraeus, once a widely celebrated military leader who oversaw operations in Afghanistan and Iraq and was touted as a potential presidential candidate, was sentenced to serve two years on probation and to pay an $100,000 fine on Thursday for sharing classified information with his biographer and lover, Paula Broadwell.
Some have characterized the agreement, in which Petraeus only pleads guilty to a misdemeanor, as too lenient.
Abbe Lowell, a lawyer who represents a government leaker currently in jail for sharing information with the media, said in a letter to the Justice Department that the deal showed a "profound double standard."
Another criminal gets a wrist slap so obama isn't embarrassed even further. Same thing will be done with berghdal.
Don't hyperventilate. It was a misdemeanor and no information was disclosed to the public.
The sentence of probation is normal this type of offense.
Yeah right. Generals giving away classified info is no big deal!!!

Yep, since it is a misdemeanor, it is no big deal.

Wasn't Snowden's life destroyed when he released classified information? Yes General Betray-us isn't being held to the same standard at all.When others are held to a similar standard, such as Hillary, get back to me.

True! Ja, he did spill the beans with his mistress of all people. What an idiot, threw away a fantastic career over this foolishness.
If every person ever in the military was imprisoned for telling information to their lover or spouse we'd need to at least double the number of prison cells in this country - which already the world's record.
Tells why and then tells us why the case should have been handled as a felony.You don't understand how the law works. This could have easily been handled as a felony but the prosecutor said no. Why?
How was Snowden's life destroyed for giving thousands of pages to Rusia? He is living free in Russia with a couple of young Russian chicks.Wasn't Snowden's life destroyed when he released classified information? Yes General Betray-us isn't being held to the same standard at all.
Why do you hate Petraeus? He fell in love?I would like this general to have his life ruined and him having to flee the country.
So yoiu just hate Republicans. Or are you ready to condemn the Clintons, 0bama and Kerry for treason??I would also like to see John McCain charged and convicted because he went to Syria and met with members of Al-Qaeda and ISIS and gave them classified information.
That's the official story anyway. I suspect it was much worse than that. More likely he SOLD classified info to our enemies. Whenever a govt official admits wrongdoing, you can be sure it's just the tip of the iceberg.
