Why did all of this happen – because Petraeus had too much influence and knew too much on how to win the war in the Middle East. He was too effective and this leader needed him out-of-the-way. Ex-CIA chief will be sentenced for leaking military secrets.
In April 2005, Sandy Berger pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material from the National Archives in Washington.[1] According to the lead prosecutor in the case, Berger only took copies of classified information and no original material was destroyed. Berger was sentenced to a fine and a three-year suspension of his security clearance. (Stuffed them in his clothes.)
Berger served as a foreign policy adviser to Senator Hillary Clinton in her 2008 presidential campaign Before joining the Clinton administration, Berger had worked as an international trade attorney; currently, he is chairman of Albright Stonebridge Group and chairman of the board of D.B. Zwirn Global Advisory Board.
Can you imagine any judge sending this hero to prison? This man was set up by this administration because they knew the people respected him and were afraid he was going to run for the office of president. It only tells what caliber of people we have in the White House for them to stoop so low and set up this guy. So what did they do in the administration’s house cleaning of the military to get rid of the Christians, they hired a floozy to perform the job that many women at the Bunny store do every day. Now just tell me – what man would turn down this kind of offer.
This same thing happened in the FBI – but they actually set up prostitutes themselves – did anyone go to jail or even be fired? And they were suppose to be guarding the leader at the time?
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Former CIA Director David Petraeus, whose career was destroyed by an extramarital affair with his biographer, was expected to be sentenced Thursday in federal court in Charlotte for giving her classified material while she was working on the book.
Petraeus will appear at the sentencing, which comes two months after he agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor count of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material.
The plea agreement carries a possible sentence of up to a year in prison. In court papers, prosecutors recommended two years of probation and a $40,000 fine. But the judge is not bound by that and could still impose a prison sentence.
The agreement was filed in Charlotte, where Paula Broadwell, the general’s biographer and former lover, lives with her husband and children.
The affair ruined the reputation of the retired four-star Army general who led U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.
As part of his deal, Petraeus agreed not to contest the set of facts laid out by the government.
Prosecutors said that while Broadwell was writing her book in 2011, Petraeus gave her eight binders of classified material he had improperly kept from his time as the top military commander in Afghanistan. Days later, he took the binders back to his house.
Among the secret information contained in the “black books” were the names of covert operatives, the coalition war strategy and notes about Petraeus’ discussions with President Barack Obama and the National Security Council, prosecutors said.
Those binders were later seized by the FBI in an April 2013 search of Petraeus’ Arlington, Virginia, home, where he had kept them in the unlocked drawer of a desk in a ground-floor study.
Prosecutors said that after resigning from the CIA in November 2012, Petraeus had signed a form falsely attesting he had no classified material. He also lied to FBI agents by denying he supplied the information to Broadwell, according to court documents. (My God, every body in this present administration lies every single day.)
Petraeus admitted having an affair with Broadwell when he resigned as CIA director. Both have publicly apologized and said their romantic relationship began only after he had retired from the military.
Broadwell’s admiring biography of him, “All In: The Education of David Petraeus,” came out in 2012, before the affair was exposed.
Petraeus held the CIA post less than a year, not long enough to leave a significant mark on the spy agency. The core of his identity has been a military man.
A Ph.D. with a reputation as a thoughtful strategist, Petraeus was brought in by President George W. Bush to command multinational forces in Iraq in 2007, a period when the war began to turn in favor of the U.S.
Petraeus’ command coincided with the “surge” of American forces in Iraq and a plan to pay Sunni militias to fight al-Qaida in Iraq.
With American help, the Sunni tribes were able to push out insurgents and enable U.S. troops to withdraw in 2011. Those same Sunni areas are now controlled by the Islamic State group, which evolved from the remnants of al-Qaida after Iraqi’s Shiite-led government proved weak.
I just hope the judge is lenient and gives him probation and fines. Wonder why this same group that convicted Petraeus shouldn’t be looking at Hillary Clinton’s and the whole present administration for unauthorized removal and retention of classified emails – just what is the difference? Oh! I know why, because she is working with this leader to bring down the country by turning it into a socialist/muslim country and a one world order – where did this mentality come from – it was from the leader’s book called, “Dreams of My Father?”
