Oh, Hillary Clinton broke the same exact laws as General Petraeus and why didn't he get a slap on the wrist. Non-disclosure.
I never paid close attention to General Petraeus because it was a privacy issue between he and his spouse. But, now I'll have to read up on it.

...The Pentagon (click here) is considering retroactively demoting retired Gen. David Petraeusafter he admitted to giving classified information to his biographer and mistress while he was still in uniform, three people with knowledge of the matter told The Daily Beast.
The decision now rests with Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, who is said to be willing to consider overruling an earlier recommendation by the Army that Petraeus not have his rank reduced. Such a demotion could cost the storied general hundreds of thousands of dollars—and deal an additional blow to his once-pristine reputation.
“The secretary is considering going in a different direction” from the Army, a defense official told The Daily Beast, because he wants to be consistent in his treatment of senior officers who engage in misconduct and to send a message that even men of Petraeus’s fame and esteemed reputation are not immune to punishment....
It is interesting, FOX places Patreus on a pedestal, but, Hillary Clinton isn't a woman's right advocate because she can't even advocate in her own house. FOX is so lame. If they didn't have media penetration as they do, they'd be completely irreverent. FOX is testimony that the cream doesn't always rise to the top as capitalism states.
The two don't equate. General Petraeus made a willful act in providing classified military information to Paula Broadwell. That doesn't even come close to what had occurred with any of Hillary Clinton emails.

Former CIA Director (click here) and retired Gen. David Petraeus, whose military career has been overshadowed by charges that he provided classified data to his mistress, has made a deal with the Justice Department in which he will plead guilty to one count of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material....
He trusted Paula too far. He really didn't know where the information would go after he willingly provided her information that lead to a book publication. Paula also made a lot of money. The two cases don't equate.
The papers filed today say that Petraeus held on to some classified and sensitive information that he shouldn't have, in the form of "Black Book" notebooks — and that he later provided them to his biographer, Paula Broadwell, with whom he was having an affair.
The Justice Department took his service to the country and drastically reduced the charges against him.
"A total of eight such books (hereinafter the "Black Books") encompassed the period of defendant David Howell Petraeus's ISAF Command and collectively contained classified information regarding the identities of covert officers, war strategy, intelligence capabilities and mechanisms, diplomatic discussions, quotes and deliberative discussions from high-level National Security Council meetings, and defendant David Howell Petraeus's discussions with the President of the United States of America.
"The Black Books contained national defense information, including Top Secret/SCI and code word information."
There is no question General Petraeus knew there was classified information in his documents. Those books have nothing to do with emails. The emails come into play with that woman, Jill Kelly, who was a fundraiser. Paula Broadwell had been sending her threatening emails. But, the documents that brought General Petraeus into question were his own personal logs that contained all kinds of information.
I think Jill Kelly was the one who wanted to support General Petraeus for a run to the Presidency.
I don't see any of that equating. Nice try though by FOX. I think they are feeling desperate.
