I am curious, why would Petreaus, a republican, someone who some thought might run for president in 2016, fall on his sword for Obama?
Another:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ordered additional security for the U.S. mission in Benghazi ahead of the terrorist attack but the orders were never carried out, according to “legal counsel” to Clinton who spoke to best-selling author Ed Klein. Those same sources also say former President Bill Clinton has been “urging” his wife to release official State Department do ents that prove she called for additional security at the compound in Libya, which would almost certainly result in President Obama losing the election.
Appearing on TheBlazeTV’s “Wilkow!” on Wednesday night, Klein told host Andrew Wilkow that Bill and Hillary Clinton have been having “big fights” for “two or three weeks” about the issue, according to his two sources on Clinton’s legal counsel. While Bill Clinton wishes his wife would “exonerate” herself by releasing the do ents that show she wasn’t at fault for the tragic security failure in Libya, the secretary of state refuses to do so because she doesn’t want to be viewed as a traitor to the Democratic party.
On Glenn Beck’s radio show earlier on Wednesday, Klein said his information comes from two “very good” sources.
Wilkow pointed out the obvious, that the Obamas and the Clintons have a “very behind the scenes, tense relationship” — to put it lightly.
“I said to you last night, and I think I stand corrected, that it seemed like Obama out-Clintoned the Clintons,” Wilkow said. “But Clinton seems to have gone along with all of this because he knew that Hillary would be exonerated in the end.”

Simple. Code of Honor.
The Clinton's have had plenty of time to get ahead of this story if they wanted to.
The silence is interesting.
Lying about some people in his charge getting killed? HONORABLE!
Same. It's the major hole in a possible cover up story right now.
Hypothetical:
He was blackmailed with the affair scoop by the white house to doctor up a phony timeline showing it was impossible for anyone to have helped the guys in Libya.
He realized he was going to have to testify under oath to congress and realized the criminal implications if he lied and reconsidered and gave the White House a big " you" and fessed up to the affair publicly.
, he may actually testify voluntarily now. It's just the media saying he won't testify.
^ according to the latest reports, acting CIA Director Michael Morrell will testify in Patraeus' stead.
This is what I am saying, it makes no sense that he wouldn't testify. If the WH was leaning on him, and he just took away their blackmail tool, I would say, " you my dirty laundry is out and now its going to have some company". Why even wait until the congressional hearing?
Spy vs Spy?
Perhaps he was outed by a someone that knew about his affair and was pissed off by his handling of Libya? I can see some angry CIA officer with insight as to exactly what went down, outing him in revenge.
He would still testify.
clinging
if true, who will be the scooter libby?
Just a couple of days after the election and there is already impeachment talk. lol
I support impeachment
Some called Petraeus' discipline and single-minded commitment (he has almost no life outside of military, except extramarital screwing) is so great that they called him St. Petraeus.
anyway, his "Iraq surge won the war" rep was nothing but PR by himself and dubya's WH covering for the disaster Petraeus' surge was.
Guys, I hate to burst some perfectly delicious conspiracy theories involving Petraeus' resignation and the Benghazi attack, but it is now being reported that the mistress in the affair was being investigated by the FBI. It appears that perhaps she had access to Petraeus' emails and to classified materials, which would be a massive security protocol breach. This looks to be something more along the lines of what happened to Jack Welch at GE.
You give your mistress access to things she shouldn't have access to and it bites you in the ass.
D/CIA is a lot worse than GE's insider trading secrets.
If so,at Petraeus. Of course, will he see jail time? Surely not, even though seven members of the SEALS (including one from SEAL team 6) got LORs and probably can't reenlist.
These guys are still going strong, since 1961!
...but Obama never said the words terror attack...
So Petraeus obviously fell on his sword
lol Glenn Beck
True, but why was Holder investigating/spying on Petraeus to start with?
Woman Linked to Petraeus Is a West Point Graduate and Lifelong High Achiever
Paula Broadwell, who wrote a biography of David H. Petraeus, moved into public view on Friday after an affair with Mr. Petraeus was uncovered.

My understanding is that it was part of an ongoing investigation into government cyber security that the FBI had going. Some of the reports in the press are now saying that
the FBI literally stumbled onto the affair through the other investigation, but once it was uncovered, the implications for potential (not necessarily actual, but potential) security breaches couldn't be ignored or swept under the rug.
I cannot abide Holder and I think he was Obama's worst appointment (with the possible exception of Sibelius), but I don't think this is anything other than what is
being reported in the MSM now, i.e., the mistress potentially having access to emails or classified info. on a computer. Another recent Director had to leave under a cloud of having brought information home...no suggestion that anyone there saw it....this sort of thing has to be super-closely held.
