trump is meeting with david petraeus today..the guy who shared classified information with his lover

In January 2015, the New York Times reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department had recommended bringing felony charges against Petraeus for providing classified information to Broadwell. Petraeus denied the allegations and was reported to have had no interest in a plea deal.[199] However, on Tuesday, March 3, 2015, the U.S. Justice Department announced that Petraeus agreed to plead guilty in federal court in Charlotte, North Carolina to a charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified information.[200] On April 23, 2015, a federal judge sentenced Petraeus to two years’ probation plus a fine of $100,000. The fine was more than double the amount the Justice Department had requested.

I think he has paid and is paying for it. I think he knows he was terribly wrong to do it.

The woman he was sleeping with published a book after the affair surfaced called "All in" IIRC. It was mocked as "All up in my snatch" by folks but it seemed pretty much one of those "affairs of the heart" type of things...

I can't imagine we he'd want to sign up to sail on the Titanic though. This ship has sunk in dry dock.
