General Patraeus to get slap on the wrist m for multiple felonies

Plea deal: https://www.popehat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/petraeus_plea_agreement.pdf

The prosecutors agreed to a plea deal.  Misdemeanor, $40k fine, two years of probation and immunity from any further charges. Admittedly, it's not an iron clad immunity, it's only for crimes currently known to the US government. If a private under General Petraeus committed the same crime, he'd be looking at several felony counts.

We really do have the best legal system that money can buy.

I can't wait to see what the federales do to Snowden if and when they collar him.  Whatcha wanna bet he doesn't get a slap on the wrist.
