#3 Petraeus "admitted to the unauthorized removal and retention of classified information and lying to the FBI and CIA about his possession and handling of classified information," acting U.S. Attorney Jill Westmoreland Rose said in a statement following sentencing.

Er... huh, wait! Isn't lying to the Feds a f-e-l-o-n-y ? Was he only charged with unauthorized possession and storage of classified? No felony conviction or loss of retirement pay for lying to the Feds?

Petraeus lawyer to the white courtesy phone please, General Petraeus's lawyer... It's Senator Bob Menendez and very urgent.

#7 So deducing from the punishment terms: You know too much to crush. But if you speak out before the next election, we'll mash you flat.

#8 Does talking to Trent Gowdy count as violation of probation?

I thought so.

This was a set up strictly to shut him up over Benghazi. I bet he knows why Stephens was in Benghazi and he probably knows why he died.
