Stop false comparisons of Petraeus to Clinton. Here is why

Petraeus, 'knowingly' stored and shared classified information in violation of the law. Petraeus had physical “black books”—which contained his schedule and personal notes from his time as commander of U.S. military operations in Afghanistan. The black books contained sensitive, classified information about the identities of covert officers, secret operations and military strategy.

After he retired from the military in 2011, Gen. Petraeus kept the black books in his private residence.

He then shared the books to Paula Broadwell as she worked on his biography.

Petraeus was required by law and his oath to mark his journals as "top secret" and to store them in a Secured Compartmented Information Facility. He did not mark them as top secret and he did not properly store them.

CRITICAL POINT: Petraeus told Paula Broadwell on tape, "I mean, they are highly classified, some of them. They don't have it on it, but I mean there's code word stuff in there."

THEN Petraeus lied to FBI about how he stored the books and whether he gave them to Broadwell.

Completely different situation based on the facts as we know them now. I am sick and tired of people comparing the two.
