Trump hates Clinton's handling of emails as Secretary of State. So he's considering Gen. Petraeus, convicted of mishandling classified info.

Here was FBI Director Comey on Petraeus -- from his July 7, 2016 congressional testimony

2. I wonder if Patraeus qualifies now for clearance?

Guess that is up PTB.

3. Further context

Clinton received emails authored by other individuals (most of whom were career State department and other federal employees) on an unclassified system and sent to another unclassified system (whether it was her server or Gmail is irrelevant except that her own server may have been more secure). None of these emails contained the appropriate classification on them if they were even classified at all (still debated). This approach of communicating information, whether good or ill, was common over multiple departments over multiple administrations both Democrat and Republican.

Petraeus on the other hand took classified documents which were clearly marked as such and stored and distributed them in a manner not approved by the government.

5. Do we really have to go through with this?

It's getting scarier every single day.

I think I am going to have to pretend that someone else is there, and that the real stuff is teevee.

I can't take the thought of these nincompoops running the government.

6. Didn't Petraeus share classified info with his girl friend?

7. And then lied about it to the FBI.

if not for the lying he would have probably got even less of a slap on the wrist then he did.

8. more evidence that trump's entire campaign was a scam.

he didn't give a shit about the truth regarding Hillary. he used his lack/disregard of knowledge to scam voters.

9. that's more damning than if he actually believed the crap he spouted

...and it doesn't really make him any less of a threat, or put any great distance between what he said and what he'd allow from a republican dominated legislature.

They have an agenda. If you look at what Bannon has been advocating on his internet rag for the past few years, it's clear that our WH and government is undergoing a right-wing, fascist-style takeover attempt.

We did get scammed, though, and it's going to be a hard-fought miracle if we can recover a fraction of what we lost.

10. Trump doesn't care about hypocrisy. He doesn't care about anyone but himself.

He's the same guy who spoke very favorably of Hillary in past videos.

It will take many of his voters some time to figure it out, I guess.

I just hope Trump doesn't get his po' wittle feewings hurt to the point that he launches some nuclear missiles over it. He's a spoiled, narcissistic sociopath, and the results could be disastrous.
