If General Petraeus pled guilty to a misdemeanor for mishandling government documents, then certainly Hillary Clinton should also be held to the same standard.
In newly released documents, it has become clear that Petraeus and Broadwell misled investigators, as “more than 300 classified documents on the personal computer of his biographer and mistress, Paula Broadwell.” Although she had security clearance to “handle classified information”, she did not have the authority to “remove the information “from authorized storage facilities” or store the classified information “in unauthorized locations,” according to the unsealed FBI affidavit.
The FBI gathered two audio recordings in their search of Broadwell’s home, in which the four-star Army general spoke with reporters about information that was classified as top secret.
“There was a recorded conversation between Petraeus and, inter alia, Washington Post reporters, which, based on information and belief of your affiant, occurred in or about March 2011,” Special Agent Diane Wehner wrote, according to Politico, which obtained the court document.
“In the conversation,” Wehner continued, “Petraeus stated, ‘I would really love to be on background as a senior military officer.’ Later in the recording, Petraeus discusses sensitive military campaigns and operations, some of which, on the basis of a preliminary review… is believed to contain classified information, including information at the Top Secret level.”
In the second audio recording, a talk between Petraeus and a reporter, Petraeus asked that the information he provided be attributed to a “defense official familiar with Petraeus’s activities,” according to Wehner.
The affidavit also reveals Petraeus tried to stop the FBI investigation as soon as he heard about it and that he and his mistress tried to hide their correspondence by using prepaid cell phones or “burner” phones as well as multiple email accounts “using non-attributable names.”
What Petraeus and Broadwell did was criminal, but leaking classified information to the press is treachery to the United States. Certainly this case builds a strong case against Hillary, as her mismanagement of government documents, as well as placing highly classified government documents in an email that hackers could get at, is as treacherous.
Petraeus betrayed his country and Hillary has as well. Both must be held liable.

GOOD, Petraeus has decided that citizens should be disarmed.
