Donald Trump charged today that “the system is rigged” after FBI Director James Comey announced that no charges would be recommended against Hillary Clinton for using a private email server to send classified data.
“The system is rigged. General Petraeus got in trouble for far less. Very very unfair! As usual, bad judgment,” Trump tweeted within minutes of Comey’s announcement.
“FBI director said Crooked Hillary compromised our national security. No charges. Wow!” he wrote in a second tweet.
David Petraeus, a respected general and former CIA director, pleaded guilty last year to a misdemeanor charge of mishandling classified materials.
Petraeus admitted he provided the materials to his former mistress and biographer, Paula Broadwell, and later lied to investigators about it.
He was put on two years’ probation and slapped with a $100,000 fine.
