U.S. Justice Department And The FBI Have Recommended That Former General And CIA Director Petraeus Be Charged With Passing Secrets To His Mistress



New York Times: FBI and Justice Dept. Said to Seek Charges for Petraeus

WNU Editor: Apparently the recommendations were made last year, but Attorney General Eric Holder has not made his decision to proceed. It looks like some in the Justice Department/FBI are not pleased with this .... and are now leaking this information out. Still .... the prospect of former General and CIA Director Petraeus going to jail .... that just boggles the mind.

"Mr. Petraeus,.....has indicated to the Justice Department that he has no interest in a plea deal that would spare him an embarrassing trial."
They are trying to shut him up for a long time.
This has the potential to get very nasty.
