Maybe it was General Patraeus himself who released the news of the affair, thus retiring to Citizenry, blowing lid on President Obama, Sec Of State Clinton, and CIA Director Leon Panetta, covering up the truth of Benghazi, along with a complicit media. ie the cover up...
He receives his Retirement, can be called to testify as a citizen, and will Plead the 5th, or tell truth for reduced sentence, and completely blast the Administration.
I wouldn't be surprised if something happens along the way..... white water, clintons, Mena, AR, and Chicago style Mob Politics comes to mind.
This article ties all of this affair back to the election, the general(s), the Whitehouse, President Obama, and Hillary Clinton lies to the American People in a Concerted Planned "Ricoh" statue Lie, to divert the real reason Benghazi was attacked, and why President Obama did nothing to save the Lives of 2 Navy Seals and the Ambassador.
Summarize, General has affair, Whitehouse Knows, Whitehouse needs favorable Testimony to Congress in regards to events in Benghazi, General keeps job if he "plays ball" unless the affair comes out.
The exact reason CIA Officers, Key Players in American SPY Agencies are Forbidden from Extramarital affairs, so that they cannot be "black mailed" by foreign Governments, or in this case, the General is Black Mailed by the President of the United States, His Boss.
The Fiscal cliff will be dragged out, as cover for the truth of Benghazi, and the Media, and all Government officials are to blame for both.
Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer on Tuesday said the White House used David Petraeus’s affair to get the CIA director to give testimony about the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that was in line with the administration’s position on the matter.
Appearing on Fox News's Special Report, Krauthammer said, "The sword was lowered on Election Day" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: I think the really shocking news today was that General Petraeus thought and hoped he could keep his job. He thought that it might and it would be kept secret, and that he could stay in his position. I think what that tells us is really important. It meant that he understood that the FBI obviously knew what was going on. He was hoping that those administration officials would not disclose what had happened, and therefore hoping that he would keep his job. And that meant that he understood that his job, his reputation, his legacy, his whole celebrated life was in the hands of the administration, and he expected they would protect him by keeping it quiet.
And that brings us to the ultimate issue, and that is his testimony on September 13. That’s the thing that connects the two scandals, and that’s the only thing that makes the sex scandal relevant. Otherwise it would be an exercise in sensationalism and voyeurism and nothing else. The reason it’s important is here’s a man who knows the administration holds his fate in its hands, and he gives testimony completely at variance with what the Secretary of Defense had said the day before, at variance with what he’d heard from his station chief in Tripoli, and with everything that we had heard. Was he influenced by the fact that he knew his fate was held by people within the administration at that time?
As a point of reference, ABCNews.com reported on September 14:
The attack that killed four Americans in the Libyan consulate began as a spontaneous protest against the film “The Innocence of Muslims,” but Islamic militants who may have links to Al Qaeda used the opportunity to launch an attack, CIA Director David Petreaus told the House Intelligence Committee today according to one lawmaker who attended a closed-door briefing.
This of course was the administration line for almost two weeks after the attacks.
With that in mind, Krauthammer drove his point home further a few minutes later:
KRAUTHAMMER: Of course it was being held over Petraeus’s head, and the sword was lowered on Election Day. You don’t have to be a cynic to see that as the ultimate in cynicism. As long as they needed him to give the administration line to quote Bill, everybody was silent. And as soon as the election’s over, as soon as he can be dispensed with, the sword drops and he’s destroyed. I mean, can you imagine what it’s like to be on that pressure and to think it didn’t distort or at least in some way unconsciously influence his testimony? That’s hard to believe.
If Krauthammer is correct, it's going to be very interesting to see if and how the Obama-loving media reports it.
Stay tuned.
