He did not do the honorable thing; he only resigned after the FBI discovered the affair. It was incredibly stupid thing for him to do. Does he not understand that the Chinese and Russians knew of this affair within days, if not hours, of the first act? Just like we know who all their leaders are fooling around with, they watch our folks and keep a dossier on them too. I bet you ten dollars they held their breath with anticipation when O nominated him to head Langley, giddy at the prospect of having this kind of dirt on the head of our spy agency.
It was a colossal failure on his part. As a commander he knows the value of operational security; but he chose to ignore it and placed people’s lives at risk.
First, you don't know what he did or didn't do. Second, while there is a time and place to fall on your sword, you only get to do that once. If every military officer resigned when there was some political decision they did not like no one would make it past colonel.
The CIA first put out a statement that no one in the agency refused a request for help from our Bengazi people. Bill Kristol interpreted that as throwing the President under the bus. Later, the CIA put out another statement about responding within minutes to the attack, which seemed to take the heat off the administration. What I wonder is why the change.
