If I understand the restrictions, he cannot speak as a private citizen about any classified matters unless the CIA approves. So though he will show up, he does have an excuse, or rather a requirement, to avoid answering anything that the CIA won’t let him answer.

"Several years ago I had to take a lie detector test before I could work at a facility in the Nevada desert."

My first question was "Do you take after your father or your mother?"

Of course that was back when being a homosexual was a disqualifier for a security clearance.

Had to love the prices at the Mercury cafeteria, however.

Since 1998, if a Clinton gets in trouble, there will be a republican sex scandal to provide cover.

This tactic ONLY works because dems own the MSM...

Lets just hope Broadwell isn’t working for a foreign government. She sounds like a pretty smart cookie.

The General underwent an FBI full field investigation before he ever took over at CIA. The WH Chief of Staff received the report of that investigation. Everything from that day forward is a direct result of Petraeus’ being blackmailed BY THE ADMINISTRATION. This doesn’t look like a mystery; this is the plot unraveled. This explains everything this man has done since that investigation. Anyone who cannot see through this is stone blind.

I missed Hannity. Just watched Greta. I am shocked that the elephant
In the room wasn’t brought up. It seemed like Greta was hinting at it
With Pat Buchannan, but it never came out. Maybe it’s not that big of a deal.
Betrayus testified before congress that the video was the reason for the
Attack in Bengazi, just like the Obama hacks. Did the Obama administration black male Betayrus, threatening to release this scandal
And use Betrayus until after the election, then exposed him, so how would not testify. My understanding he can still be called to testify, but cannot
testify regarding any classified intelligence. How convenient.

Let’s connect the dots that have been reported or alleged:

Petraeus had a punch card. She shunned him after a long running affair. Leaks about Bengazi have been popping up in the press all from one news source mostly: FOX. Fox has been virtually banned from interactions with the administration i.e. Ed Henry has not been allowed into some briefings. Romney during the debates jumped away from any finger pointing about Bengazi, after it was he who said the administrations story reeked of falsehoods. The FBI must have been investigating whom the leaks were coming from. The info reported by Fox was pin point accurate so the FBI sleuths knew it came from inside and from high up. Petraeus was sending unsolicited info to his paramour and these must have been discovered by the FBI. So, with the little head telling the big head what to do, he ended up screwing himself.

Patreous met with O turd yesterday, told him what he already knew, he had betrayed the turd and would leave and keep his mouth shut if he did not interfer with his retirement. It may not be over depending upon what the house investigation does: Is using this as a chip against the desires of Oturd worth some political agreement on taxes. My sense this is the last we hear of this unless Fox gets the paramour to fill in the blanks. If she fades out of the picture, the game is over.

Paula Broadwell embedded with him in Afghanistan.

Snicker, guffaw! Dollars to donuts he was embedded in her as well.

Mouton, what explains Petrayus saying it was a video, when it was a lie.
Did Omama know about this affair for some time and the Chicago thugs
reminded Petrayus to toe the party lies, or worse yet, create them from the CIA or else?

Now, NBC is reporting that the FBI has been investigating Broadwell, fearing that she had access to some confidential information.

Let's see, we have an administration that insures radio talk show hosts who dissent with them get audited every year. We have an adminstration whose minions use their public offices to investigate private citizens like Joe the Plumber.

Isn't it also *possible,* if not likely, that Petreaus was being investigated and spied on by a lot of people from activists to Senatorial staff since the left began their anti-surge campaign that culminated in the ad they took out in the NY Times years ago and Senator Harry Reid proclaimed the surge a failure and the war a lost cause?

1) She’s a lot prettier than Monica,

2) Petraeus did not seem to be in the loop on activities in Benghazi. Find out who was running the op from the White House.

3) I forget.

And now he has gone and 'fessed up to it himself, someone would sooner or later wonder why he was 'fessing up unless someone threatened him with it in the first place.

I mean, seriously, usually elites get to retire without humiliation, with one scratching the back of the other. General Ham just had to say he was retiring to take care of an ailing relative or wife, and no further questions were asked, because it does happen. I recall Ham visited Las Vegas a day or so before Obama went there. There's no reason Petreaus couldn't offer the same explanation for leaving, as Hillary and Eric were said to be leaving too, and neither are accused of affairs or admitting to any.

So why did he visit the WH and tell Obama he was having an affair when he could have just told the president he was exhausted and wanted to retire to a beach somewhere, and leave it at that, with no one the wiser? Something had to change the status quo of the relationship, and if it wasn't the lover feeling slighted, it was probably a threat of exposure from someone else, such as a President or one of his advisors, or a Senate staffer. Why confess an affair to the public unless he was being blackmailed? Someone must have threatened to expose the affair or he would have continued it, or would have cut it off if his conscience couldn't abide to continue it, none of it requiring public announcements.

I will bet it was run by Valerie Jarrett.
