can't answer a simple question, Chrispy?.....you do realize, right, that if Bill had said "yes, I got a blowjob from Monica" we would have avoided two years worth of investigations back in the 90s?..........

You are obtuse if you think this is about whether or not Petraeus admitted to giving Broadwell classified info.

Petraeus is a real peach. Cheated on both his wife and mistress with a third woman.

"In "Collateral Damage: Petraeus/Power/Politics and the Abuse of Privacy," which [Jill] Kelley self-published, the former "honorary ambassador" of CENTCOM finally explains what the fuss was all about: The allegation by Broadwell that Kelley intimately fondled Petraeus under the table at that restaurant on Easter weekend four years ago. It would all seem so silly and inconsequential if the personal drama hadn't been so incredibly consequential. Kelley denies it all, and begins the book with a lengthy insistence that she has always been faithful to her husband and has never "acted inappropriately."

But she also suggests in her book that Petraeus told the FBI that the fondling did indeed take place. A source familiar with the law enforcement investigation confirms that Petraeus did tell the FBI that inappropriate and intimate fondling took place -- and that it was mutual for both Petraeus and Kelley."

I'm not here defending him nor is he running for President. That he cheated on his wife twice makes him a bad person but it doesn't have anything to do with Hillary who is running for President.

Typically if a government employee is under investigation they are suspended whilst the investigation goes ahead. So what would happen if Clinton became President would she be immune from prosecution?

she could pardon herself

I'm incredulous. He's a four-star general who shared classified info-- hundreds of documents--- with a mistress and you seem to think it's less serious than Hillary because he's not running for president. What if Broadwell was a double agent and this was a honey trap?

Then the FBI needs to file charges, just like they did against the guy for taking photos of his submarine's engineering section.

Do you think they didn't?

On April 23, 2015, Petraeus pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of mishandling classified materials. He was given a two-year probationary period and a fine of $100,000.

of course it isn't......investigations are held about politicians lying to the public.....that's what its always been about....that's why there was a Watergate, that's why there were Whitewater investigations........its why there are FBI investigations about Hillary's emails........did Petraeus lie to investigators making an investigation necessary?......I don't believe so......what would investigators have had to investigate if Hillary had simply turned over all her emails in the first place?......

I'm sorry, what has Clinton been charged with again?

what you dont understand is that the content of the emails dont matter. The setting up of the private server guarded by your own IT and lawyers is. That was done purely to avoid any accountability on her part. FOIA requests were sent to state on other matters and they said they didnt have any info because surprise the info is with the private server. When an FOIA request was sent directly to her surprise again all the emails were deleted.

How can you not understand this? When you elect a politician that already shows she has no plans to be accountable to anyone for her actions then you get a dictator.

Let me ask you a follow up question. Do you support every elected and appointed government official setting up their own private servers instead of using government materials?

For most of us this is not about the classification of information. This is about a person who set up a system so noone would be able to hold her accountable for any of her actions in office.

No I don't support every elected official setting up their own server w/o permission. Now your claim is that no one could hold her accountable for her actions if she used a private server. Please explain in detail how that works.
