To Send a Message, Judge Sentences David Petraeus to 75% of One Speaking FeeNeedless to say, this is disgraceful.
David PetraeusFormer CIA Director David Petraeus just got sentenced to two years of probation for leaking highly sensitive information to his mistress and then lying to the FBI about it.
………
The only “surprise” of the hearing is that, rather than getting slapped with a $40,000 fine, Judge David Keesler more than doubled the fine to send a message.
To $100,000.
According to SpeakerPedia, Petraeus makes upwards of $132,750 for each speech.
This guy mishandled secure information, he then deliberately leaked it to his lover, and then he lied to the FBI about it, and he can make enough to pay the fine in about 70 minutes.
BTW, the Obama administration is using him as a consultant now, so it appears that he still has a security clearance.
