It is kind of interesting. In some ways what Patraeus did was worse and in some ways what Hillary did was worse. It is going to be a huge political football. We already have top level Democrats screaming about their 'serious questions' about the independance of the State Department and FBI. Of course they did not question the independance of the Departement of Justice for some reason.
But the Democrats seem to already be digging in for the real possibility that the FBI will recommend charges against Hillary. Basically we will be expanding the VRWC to include the FBI and State Department. Seems like we are headed towards reliving all the bad parts of the Clinton years all over again.
