There are a couple of other mind-blowing facts in that Daily Beast article.

First, he still has the power to wreck careers.

Neither the news that Petraeus’s name appears as the defendant on a charging sheet or that he lied to federal investigators from his Langley office shook his standing in the military community—or so it seemed.

Even those who are outraged would never publicly say so. The lingering fear that confronting Petraeus could end one’s careers remains within the ranks.

Yeah, that philandering idiot who thought turning over black books with national security information in them to his mistress was a good idea still has the clout to destroy careers. Let that one sink in, before I get to the next disturbing bit of news.

It’s unclear if Petraeus would be stripped of his security clearance, which he kept after resigning from the CIA.

Seriously? This is unclear? The man handed off black books with the deepest secrets about our national security and they think he might not lose his security clearance?

Will Chaffetz open an investigation into this? Will Congress have the balls to do the proper oversight?

If the Beltway press wants to actually work, they could start looking at all the national security leaks over the past few years and see just how many of them point back to BetrayUs Petraeus.
