If Hillary did anything like the General, it must mean that she has an inappropriate relationship with Huma.....wait...nevermind...

Not enough details in this report.

I'm assuming that the General was married. What I want to know is did this LtCol reciprocate in any way? If so, then she should be named and punished as well. I'd also like to know who complained to bring this all to light. Did the Lt Col because it was unwanted? Was it a secretary/aide who had access priviledges to the General's email account.

If we're going to have a scandal, we might as well get all the details.

Thank god he didn't get a blow job in his office. That would be absolutely unthinkable.

I read through the 49 page IG report yesterday: http://www.airforcemag.com/DRArchive...estigation.PDF.

This started when Lt Gen Hesterman was a Wing Commander, who was mentoring a junior officer. Hesterman had eyes for the junior officer's Active Duty wife, and went after her. Later he would be seen as mentor to her as well, but it went well beyond mentoring. Some of the Emails between Hester and the female officer came to light and an IG investigation began. It ended the marriage of the junior officer, and his wife. Evidence found in the IG investigation showed that the relationship went on for years. Some of the emails from Hester were more in line of a high schooler, than a high ranking USAF officer. After reading the report, it looks like they could go after the female officer as well. At this point, the IG is mulling over just what the punishment will be for Hester. This could result in a reduction in rank. Since this began when Hesterman was an 0-6, would they bust him down that far in rank? That was when he stopped being a respectable USAF officer.

If it was a mutual relationship then why is there even a question as to whether to punish the female officer? Why isn't her name released too?

Just throwing this out there. As I've never had the "privilege" of being a Generals Aid...thank God, wouldn't want it.

But, are the Gen's emails scanned or looked at by an aid before he gets them to weed out the "he doesn't need that" stuff???

If so, maybe an aid coulda done it??

I know, I'm naïve when it comes to that Starfleet crap, thank God, just askin'...

It appears she was not named to avoid an unwarranted invasion of the privacy of her husband, also an Air Force officer, who was apparently still on active duty when the investigation began.

You're scaring me with the fact that you know SO much about it!

They're not married now. But I don't think that it matters. She is no different than the general. They named him so they should name her.

Highest ranking officer bears the burden of responsibility. He was the ranking officer, and mentor to both the junior ranking male officer, and his wife, at a later date.

I don't have her name. Here it an AF Times article on the Lt.Gen., before anything broke; not exactly a stud:http://www.airforcetimes.com/story/m...taff/28406447/.

If you look at this as two issues the General gets spanked and she should too ( well maybe this wasn't the best terminology to use) . She did say yes to the General and her husband got the short straw. So she can cheat on her husband as an Officer and since she was the Jr. Officer that's OK?
