I admire Petraeus for his service and military genius, and could forgive him for joining with Obama and even for his personal foibles. But mishandling classified information makes it a no-brainer: there should be no place for him in any position of trust within the US government. Just like Hillary, he knew the rules and he broke them anyway, so the price for that has to be paid, and not just overlooked when it’s convenient to do so.
Not ready to forgive Petraeus, unless he comes clean about the Benghazi talking points.
Remember that Petraeus defended the drastic revision of the talking points. I believe the final version was written in the White House, probably with the last draft produced by Ben Rhodes.
But somewhere in the process, Hillary had her input too. Petraeus knew that the original talking points, as produced by the intelligence agencies, had nothing about the silly video. I believe it was Hillary who inserted the absurd video narrative, and Petraeus originally agreed to go along with it.
IIRC, Petraeus's participation in the coverup happened just before the public revelation of his affair with Paula Broadwell, and his sharing of classified material with her. Coincidence?
