Being on probation is NOT the same as being on parole.

If nothing else, his sense of ‘judgement’ has to be called to task and in no way should he (or anyone) be ‘rewarded’ for such actions..
AND
‘getting in bed with Kelley=Giffords’ and gun control has no business in a supposed gun friendly admn.

Also one can’t really expect to bury HRC and letting this guy take a walk for virtually the same thing.

Not a question of how much, how long etc just like there is no such thing as being a ‘little pregnant’

I’m with you. Petraeus might have redeemed himself,if, after Benghazi, knowing the truth in his position as CIA Director, he resigned in protest at the lies. Instead, he went along with the lie of Hillary and Obama. And (karma’s a beeotch) still got fired anyhow.

As a retired Army guy, the general officer corps of the last few years, from, say, Wesley Clark till now, has been a disgrace to the uniform.

Not if he gets a pardon...

Protocol. From Dune, "The forms must be observed."

Pardon first, then appoint.

Because it would be a PROBATION OFFICER not a PAROLE OFFICER!!!!! Seems “journalists” can’t get even the basics correct. Probation is given in lieu of incarceration when the offense is minor. Parole is granted when the offense is severe and requires at least some prison time be served. Totally different. In the case of Patreaus there was great reluctance to even bring charges as it was doubtful he actually committed an offense.

No.
He is a security risk with poor judgement who is partnering with an anti-2nd amendment group.
DQ’d

"Disgraced"

Hey LEE-UM, "Disgraced" in America is a far cry from say "Disgraced" in Japan. Hey LEE-UM, ya see, He already has been made a Partner at a Huge Investment Firm and Works on the B.O.D.'s +/ or Teaches at several Colleges, Even The University of Exeter in Britain (Shock + Horror, eh LEE-UM? That's got to kill ya), Harvard etc., so your idea of "disgrace" suggesting he's a Dirt Poor P.O.S. w/out anything to contribute to the world at large,doesn't wash in America, after you're been found Guilty, there is always hope, except for Leftist Goons like you. LOL!

In bed with a mistress is one thing, ...

When he also shares classified info with his mistress it's two things.

Someday we’re going to be able to say the words “disgraced former pResident Barrack Hussein Obama, currently residing at Club Gitmo.”

Two wrongs don’t make it right. He is serving his sentence and as such we shouldn’t be hypocrits. He screed the pooch and shouldn’t see another Government job

How much simpler can it be? It’s like justifying the water is wet and flames are hot and because not remotely similar neither should be regarded true?

Ridiculous!!

It’s real simple, we hold ours accountable. He broke the law period. Not just you Johnny come lately trumped up charge either but classified information. He should not be allowed to carry any clearance whatsoever period end of story.

Surely you must see this?

“He broke the law period”

I agree.

Petraeus did break the law.

He admitted his action, plead guilty and was sentenced.

But what he did was nothing in comparison to what Clinton did as Secretary of State.

To pretend they are equivalent is dishonest.

Agree one is definitely severe to the extreme and hopefully her day is coming. Patreus shouldn’t even be in the running or remotely considered it’s just bad imaging all the way around. There are many more qualified without being indicted :-) that includes the unindicted felons too

That’s not my issue with him. My issue is that it’s hard to make a case that Clinton needs to be prosecuted, when you hire somebody for Clinton’s job, who pleaded guilty to doing what you accuse her of doing (albeit to a much smaller degree, but dems don’t see degrees). And Clinton DOES need to be prosecuted.

Petraeus has too much baggage; not worth it.

Bolton or Giuliani are the only options.

Definitely not Romney. He called us “suckers”. Not much different from Hillary calling us “deplorables”.
