you are right, I thought it wasn't a crime, but it says here it is a crime, just rarely prosecuted:

I'm sure David Petraeus wishes he could agree with you.

Wait.  Wait.  Breitbart making false news??  What a shocker!

I don't think it's fake news, it was probably the usual "send a message with barely plausible deniability" play that is so common in all Byzantine political games.

he was never charged, he pleaded guilty to unauthorized removal and retention of classified information.

yes, I thought about it, since they said elsewhere Trump is reading Breitbart.  It's just funny that Bannon is complaining Breitbart is writing falsehoods now.

That's what's called a plea agreement: so he could avoid the charges for lying to the FBI.  That's how filthy lying cockfucks like Petraeus avoid jail time.

Yeah, these Americans need to get used to Kremlin politics. In an environment where the only requirement for a job/position is loyalty to the guy who put you there, articles like that simply not go live without permission from above.

It's a form of communication within the leadership.
