For his punishment, Petraeus was forced to resign as CIA director and paid a civil fine of $40,000. He wasn’t charged with espionage or brought up on criminal charges, and we were in the middle of a war at the time, FFS!
For you to spend this much time discussing the intricacies of the PRA and NARA regulations is mind boggling to me. Nobody GAF except ppl with a vested interest in defeating Trump at the ballot box, which makes you nothing more than a partisan hack, IMO!
I believe and have said repeatedly that Trump is being unfairly targeted, based on the history of other similar cases, and I hope he is able to prove his innocence. But that doesn’t give him or his legal team the right to go out and start falsely claiming what the actual laws say, or misrepresent the legal similarities and significance of this one case involving Clinton.
It’s this exact type of dishonesty that led to me no longer supporting him for President. He plays his supporters for fools and takes advantage of their admiration for him. Clearly many of you are willing to look the other way, and regurgitate his misrepresentations of what this law says. Tump himself said he could shoot someone right on 5th avenue and many of you would defend it. I clearly would not. I find that mere boast appalling.
I want honesty and integrity from my leaders. Not demands of loyalty then actions that constantly test it.
