If I were Patraeus, at this point I'd withdraw my plea and see what develops.

Nope. While this is still hanging over Patraeus, Obama has leverage. Under the plea deal, Patraeus plead guilty to a misdemeanor. The Obama administration was threatening him with felonies.

Best to let the misdemeanor conviction become final and then go to the press.

My point is they might drop it altogether if the alternative is to throw thu book at Petraeus but let Hillary skate.

That's when he goes to the press. It's either both of them or neither of them
