Petraeus would have to notify probation officer if named secretary of State

[RandySF]

Former Gen. David Petraeus is reportedly one of President-elect Donald Trump's finalists to be secretary of State.

If he's chosen, he'll have three days to notify his probation officer.
Petraeus was sentenced to two years of probation on April 23, 2015, for giving his mistress classified information.

"The defendant shall not leave the Western District of North Carolina without the permission of the Court or probation officer. Travel allowed for work as approved by U.S. probation office," says a court judgdment, reported first by Brad Heath of USA Today.

1. I heard some Republican say ...

I heard some Republican say on cable TV today that Petraeus' mishandling of classified information wasn't as bad as Hillary's
because Petraeus just passed it along to his mistress who used it in a book she was writing.

3. Has he surrendered his passport to the authorities?

SoS job requires lots of travel. Also, due to his plea bargain, would he command any respect from his counterparts around the world?

Just insane.

4. On trump's first day in office

(shudder) he pardons Patreus, commutes his sentence, and expunged the record of his conviction.

No more probation problems. Next?

5. My first thought exactly

I wondered if it was federal and it is. Trump could not pardon a state sentence only federal.
