    Even if Clinton is charged, she's still by far the better candidate than Dingleberry Trump.

    I'm probably going to vote for Jill Stein, regardless.

    Man, I can't imagine the response this would have gotten if some of our former members were still around.

    As far as the relevant law is concerned, it may be that they are accused of exactly the same thing.

    The FBI considered bringing charges under the Espionage Act against Petraeus. Again, intent.

    Were such charges brought?

    No, but the possibility is what gives the government leverage to get a plea of the lesser charge of mishandling classified info.

    The sensitivity of the information is also a crucial difference between Clinton and Petraeus, as if the other major differences weren't enough. Arguments over overclassification are still a part of this case.

    Honestly, the closer parallel to Clinton is probably Paula Broadwell, not Petraeus.

    Tyranny of the seen ... we don't know what information was compromised as a result of Herself's setup. We only know about that information that she has deigned to turn over.
