David Petraeus would have three days to check in with his parole officer if Donald Trump picks him to be secretary of state in his administration
Petraeus pleaded guilty to sharing classified information with his mistress
The ex-general was sentenced to two years probation and fined $100,000
Parole deal states he would also have to clear all work travel
Disgraced former general David Petraeus would have to check in with his parole officer before being named secretary of state by Donald Trump.
Petraeus, an ex-four-star general who pleaded guilty in 2015 to sharing classified information with his mistress, Paula Broadwell, is reportedly in the frame to be picked by Trump for the prestigious position.
If he does get the nod from the Donald, Petraeus would have just three days to alert his parole officer about his new job.
The 64-year-old was sentenced to two years' probation and fined $100,000 for sharing classified information with Broadwell.
He would also be required to tell the officer before leaving North Carolina and be subject to warrant-less searches, as well as having all work-related travel cleared in advance, court documents obtained by USA Today reveal.

Whatever - Trump can pardon him or commute the sentence, no pain / no strain
Exactly.
I meant USMC.
Trump can’t pardon anyone until January 20, 2017.
He is anti-2nd amendment.
We don’t need an “officer” previously sworn to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution who thinks parts of it need to go away as SecState or any position.
I agree
I think the PO would tend to go lenient.
Retired U.S. Army Gen. David Petraeus...is teaming up with retired NASA astronaut Mark Kelly to create a new group urging greater gun control.
Disqualified, right there.
Every nation will be throwing women at him, hoping to get “All In” -— this is a disaster waiting to happen.
Wow — thanks for the info
The parole officer, showing up at the White House.... why doesn’t that sound right??
Every country knows how to get their way with Petraeus. It’s not speaking engagement fees he’s into. Their are hot ladies all over the world. Best four years of his life if he gets in.

Oh my gosh, I had not read your post before posting mine! Mind meld. And true.
Yep! “Veterans Coalition for Common Sense.” Gun control.
In bed with a mistress is one thing, in bed with the left is a whole nuther ball of wax.
Yes, it’s a standard security risk with a very high chance of succeeding.
Same with Bill Clinton. Well, Hillary’s maid got to see the Top Secret and Classified info.....
The Trump Team should know this. He shouldn’t even be on a long list; much less a short list.
The notebooks contained mostly unclassified information but there was some classified information included.
None of the classified information was released or included in his biography.
Hillary Clinton secretly and illegally set up a private email system located in the Clinton foundation offices. When the information on her private server was subpoenaed Clinton used bleach bit to illegally destroy the information and refused to provide the information as legally required.
Petraeus was found guilty. Clinton was never fully investigated and never charged.
I don't think anyone is stupid enough to believe these cases are equivalent or even similar.
I don’t want him.
