Snowden says Petraeus disclosed ‘far more highly classified’ secrets ‘than I ever did’
“Perhaps the best-known case in recent history here is Gen. Petraeus — who shared information that was far more highly classified than I ever did with journalists,” he said. “And he shared this information not with the public for their benefit, but with his biographer and lover for personal benefit — conversations that had information, detailed information, about military special-access programs, “code word” documents — including the identity of covert officers, and notes of National Security Council meetings, that’s classified above top secret, conversations with the president and so on.”
Court documents in the case show that he turned over a black book of highly classified “code word” documents — including the identity of covert officers and notes of National Security Council meetings.
“We have a two-tiered system of justice in the United States, where people who are either well-connected to government or they have access to an incredible amount of resources get very light punishments.”
I guess there are career Patriots and well, Patriots. I suppose this distinction is lost on the well informed selectively bling Trumpeters.
