Petraeus would have to notify probation officer if named secretary of State

[octoberlib]

Former Gen. David Petraeus is reportedly one of President-elect Donald Trump's finalists to be secretary of State
If he's chosen, he'll have three days to notify his probation officer.
Petraeus was sentenced to two years of probation on April 23, 2015, for giving his mistress classified information.

"The defendant shall not leave the Western District of North Carolina without the permission of the Court or probation officer. Travel allowed for work as approved by U.S. probation office," says a court judgdment, reported first by Brad Heath of USA Today.

"The defendant shall notify the probation officer within 72 hours of any change in residence or employment," the document adds.

In addition to those guidelines, Petraeus could also be subject to warrantless searches if he was appointed to Trump's cabinet. His probation officer would be able to access and review his computer and phone data at any point in time until the end of his sentence.

1. Yes, but he has a penis, so his crime was really just a mistake

and he's entitled to mistakes.

Michael Steele called Petraeus' plea bargain (from a felony charge to a misdemeanor) and six figure fine "a hiccup in an otherwise outstanding career."

10. More than that - it was the fault of the mistress that misled him into bad judgment!

3. Clearly, Rethuglicans are imune to irony.

The thought of having the person who actually was convicted of leaking classified documents take the place of the person who DIDN'T yet was investigated ad nauseam strikes no chord with them at all.

5. We need to email the hell out of our Congress Critters over this nomination

I don't see how even repug Senators can go along with a Petraeus nomination. Email them and demand that they reject Petraeus on the grounds that he's proven himself unfit to hold any position as critical as Secretary of State.
