This potential case demonstrates the absolute unchecked power of some Government prosecutors to get their names in the news and advance their own personal careers. All these potential cases accomplish is 1) Waste Taxpayers valuable dollars and 2) Unnecessarily besmirch a fellow citizens otherwise stellar accomplishments and career. Petraeus has denied passing any classified documents to Paula Broadwell, an ex-lover, and she backs that assertion. Whether Petraeus is guilty or innocent, this leak is as unfair to him as it is predictable. Prosecutors have long leaked stories like this whenever they can’t make a case against a suspect and hope that a newspaper story will panic him into a plea bargain. Prosecutors who have been working on the Petraeus case for two years, but don’t really have a case, took the initiative, hoping to score a last scalp as the Holder era fades and their team disbands. The only way to check prosecutorial abuses like this potential case, hold the individual prosecutor and their supervisors legally responsible for their actions.... That way, prosecutors will make sure they prosecute cases that clearly violate laws, and leave the News mongering cases to those who make a career from spreading worthless gossip.
