Not only that, but the whole reason Brennan got the job as Director of the CIA was that the prior Director, David Petraeus, resigned[1] in the wake of his own email and information leak scandal.
Petraeus and Broadwell used fake names to create free webmail
accounts exchanging messages without encryption tools.
The FBI, using electronic metadata that pinpointed the times,
places and IP addresses, identified Paula Broadwell as the source.

- scintill76 11y agoOoh, I didn't think about Petraeus. I was glad to learn recently that he was actually convicted of unauthorized removal and retention of classified information in April -- two years' probation and $100k fine (fine more than 2x what DoJ asked for!)[0] I'm sure that's all they'll give Snowden. /s (Yeah, I know Snowden is a bigger magnitude, but Petraeus was more reckless and self-serving, and as the leader he should set the example -- he deserves at least a few months in Club Fed.)
