Trump said many times he thought Petraeus got a raw deal, and was guilty of much less than Hillary.
I’m sure he will give Petraeus a pardon whether or not he appoints him.
If Trump pardons him or selects him I would be disappointed.
Petreus broke the law. He could have been convicted of higher crimes. He isn’t deserving of a pardon at this point. Maybe years down the road.
He should stay in private business.
Hopefully the rumors of him going to state are false. It would be a terrible political choice that isn’t worth the headaches it would cause.
