So the FBI says Petraeus indeed betrayed us, and Feinstein says give him a pass! [View all]
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?"
