So the FBI says Petraeus indeed betrayed us, and Feinstein says give him a pass!

Her quote in the AP story says. "this man has suffered enough, in my view." And, "he's the four star general of our generation." And, "he's made a mistake."

The FBI says he gave away secrets and broke federal law. Regardless of WHO he is, why would he get a pass? This is of the highest order, a four star general as Feinstein says.

WHY IS PETRAEUS ABOVE THE LAW? WHY, DI-FI, SHOULD HE GET A PASS? He's been through enough? Really? What has he been through, besides explaining stuff to his wife?

I have lost all faith in Feinstein, over the years. If this is how the law is applied, only for some, then she should step down.

Petraeus should be brought up on charges IMMEDIATELY!

"he's been through enough".....well he should have thought about that. This is no better than allowing Ollie North to get away. Disgusting! It truly is.....

Feinstein's quote is shortened in the AP story, but continued in the Tampa Bay Times saying,
"how much do you want to punish somebody?"

5. This little skit can be taken out of the "How to maintain white

privilege."

Have you heard it before?

"He's suffered enough."

"He made a mistake." or its cousin: "Mistakes were made."

I'm still waiting for:

"He fought for his country and deserves special treatment."

Here's what I think about military or ex-military leaders who commit egregious breaches of legal protocols: It tarnishes the image of the military and makes us wonder exactly what kind of leaders are responsible for the welfare of our soldiers.

By extension, if you have an incompetent retired military man serving in community leadership roles, the presumption is that the kind of mistakes they make are the same kind that he learned while serving in the military.

Hold Petraeus accountable and set the proper example.

6. Punished enough Di-FI? Petraeus should be held to a higher standard!! The highest!

He's was entrusted with national secrets. He did not steal a candy bar.

No, he has not been punished. He was given a higher paid position. Head of the C.I A.

Enough of this shit.....no more respect Diane....

7. Maybe Petraeus has something on Feinstein. n/t

8. Ha ha they all got something on Feinstein. She's been in there a looooong time!

9. But Petraeus' motives were pure. He only wanted more power (money) via a hyped biography ...

... unlike that Chelsea Manning who released information to inform the public about crimes committed in their names.













Sarcasm thingy here for those w/o the gene.

10. Exactly! The law only applies to some of us.....
