Question: If Hillary Clinton is not convicted of this statute, (assuming the FBI investigation confirms that a violaton took place) could General Petraeus sue to have his conviction vacated ex post facto on the basis of selective prosecution and the constitutional requirement of equal treatment under the law?

Damn' good question. Not a lawyer here but it seems to me Petraeus could win based on unequal treatment. Would be interested to hear what any of FR's legal eagles think.

Some animals are more equal than others. End of story.

The other matter was the sheer design of a system to get around the rules for handling classified data and managing it for years - a greater violation than a few documents that Petraeus did.
