FBI Docs: Hillary Deleted Nearly 1,000 Emails With David Petraeus
Selected Excerpt: [PJ] Now we find out that 1,000 emails between Clinton and General Petraeus were not turned over. This should be a bigger story. Petraeus started out as the leader of U.S. Central Command and then became the director of the CIA during Clinton's tenure as secretary of State, so not only were those emails obviously work related, they very likely were highly classified. The implications here are staggering.

But it gets worse.

#1 Thought my mind was all boggled out...

How is this not an enormous FU to every one who abides by the information handling rules?

#2 'Staggering implicatons' indeed.

Thinking at the time that it was utterly inconceivable that a man of the stature and professionalism of General Patraeus would store 'classified documents' at his private residence, I've often wondered about the content of the alleged classified documents which he later shared with biographer Paula Broadwell.

As best I can determine from the timeline, Law Enforcement's awareness of the Petraeus hidden documents surfaced only after his sharing them with Broadwell. And as we know, she too likes to share. Oh well, probably little more than a coincidence, for those who believe in coincidences.

Do the Periwinkle cups match the saucers? Could the documents kept by Petraeus possibly have been copies of the 'homebrew server' emails to and from HRC? Did Petreaus retain copies as insurance ?

Among the secret information contained in the "black books" were the names of covert operatives, the coalition war strategy and notes about Petraeus' discussions with President Barack Obama and the National Security Council, prosecutors said. Link

Interesting to note, the Secretary of State is near the very top of the National Security Council food chain. As I recall, some of the emails deemed classified in the HRC communiques also contained names of alledged 'operatives.'

#3 Petraeus still has his copy.

#4 I recall that HRC severely criticized Petraeus in a Senate hearing. She said at the time: “The reports that you provide to us really require the willing suspension of disbelief.”
About this time, MoveOn.Org had an ad calling Petraeus, General "Betray Us" which Hillary did not renounce as did many other Donks. So they (Hillary & Petraeus) later got chummy, kissed and made up and destroyed emails together. Somehow, I don't think these emails discussed yoga, grandchildren, weddings, etc. Are these emails captured by NSA?

#5 The NSA is not going to rat out Clinton.

#6 JohnQC: why do you think Champ and his team made sure Petraeus was prosecuted and then "let off"? He's not going to say anything, anything at all today, because he knows what will happen if he does.

#7 The attack on Benghazi too place on 9/11/2012. Due to his affair with Broadwell, Petraeus was relived as DCI on 11/09/2012, less than 90 days after Benghazi.

Following the revelations about her relationship with Petraeus, Broadwell has retained the services of former Clinton Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers with the public relations firm The Glover Park Group. The founders of The Glover Park Group have previously served as officials in the Clinton White House and on the presidential campaign of former vice president Al Gore. The firm's services include public relations, advertising, marketing, government relations and policy counsel, crisis management and opinion research. Link


Out of the scores of legal and PR groups in D.C., Broadwell stumbled upon Clinton action agents at 'The Glover Park Group.' Interesting PR/laundry team choice I'd say.
