Still waiting for these people to be held accountable. Are rules and laws exclusively for the little people now?

- NotSammyHagar 10y agoSomewhat true, yes. Think about how the cia leader was sharing information with his extramarital girlfriend, lied about it, got caught, and basically got no punishment. Compare to how the obama administration went after leakers and reporters writing about it and tried to intimidate them with national security claims.
- devopsproject 10y agoThey went after him. He took a plea, was fined $100,000 and left govt service. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/04/us/petraeus-plea-deal-over-giving-classified-data-to-lover.html?_r=0 https://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/04/us/petraeus-plea-deal-ove... This is quite different than nothing happening.
- NotSammyHagar 10y agobut his next job was something like university president, and now he's in the trump admin. very different than what snowden faces, or other whistleblowers. Clinton got nothing for storing sensitive email in her own server (other than losing the presidency, possibly related to it). I know they all (politicians hiding their email) do what clinton does, it was still stupid.
