HE IS WHO THEY THOUGHT SHE WAS:

But now Trump evidently believes that David Petraeus -- who pled guilty to charges that he intentionally revealed classified information to his mistress -- could be trusted to assume the highest position in the Pentagon or perhaps the State Department, according to news outlets. The retired general, who commanded US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan before serving as CIA director under President Obama, reportedly came very close to a felony conviction that would have sent him to prison for leaking classified documents to his mistress.

FBI investigators and Justice Department prosecutors wanted to indict Petraeus, and he only escaped that humiliating fate through a plea bargain -- a deal achieved, ironically enough, by David Kendall, the same Washington attorney who represented Hillary Clinton.
