Doesn’t everyone know that any email that is sent has the potential to be read by anyone in your organization?
Emails are never private.
Sheesh. This guy lead our military and doesn’t know that?
FBI source says the investigation began when American intelligence mistook an email Petraeus had sent to his girlfriend as a reference to corruption.
I thought maybe it was his wife (Holly, a government employee in DC) but evidently not. How many women was he carrying on with? He doesn’t look like a stud muffin, but power and the challenge of (theoretical)unattainability seem to be a major aphrodisiac for many women.
Still, this was all clearly set up as the Obama October Surprise because Bambi & Co. assumed Petraeus was going to be the VP nominee.
However, it didn’t work out that way, so they were able to have this revelation and his resignation postponed till after the election, also hoping that this would keep him from testifying on Benghazi.
Petraeus strikes me as very loyal to whoever is in charge at a given moment, so I don’t think he’s going to do anything that might damage Bambi now. However, I don’t think he’d lie under oath. So he’ll fade into the twilight, which Obama will be only too happy to let him do.
Ping
Every major story I have seen about this differs widely on the facts. Here is another.
Theory: Could the Obama Adm have been digging up dirt on Petraeus back when he was feared to be Romney’s VP choice, and then when he wasn’t, they held their dirt for a rainy day. The rainy day came on Sept. 11th.
They fear exposure over selling weapons to Al Qaeda more than they do their negligence in allowing 4 American citizens die.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
Predictable and what party is it that has the war on women?
Wanna know my pet name for Abraham Lincoln?
I used to call him "Mr. Fuzzy Buddy McFuzzbutt."
Yes I did.
Folks, the affair was over. In all the US government, including generals and Nat’l Security officials, you really thing Patraeus was the only one worthy of an investigation into his personal life? Think ANY others have affairs, are gay, etc? And it was necessary to confront him right now, not when the affair was active, not when he was nominated?
I do not remember anyone this was done to in my lifetime, and I’m not young.
“House asks Clinton to testify on Benghazi, but she declines due to scheduling conflict” http://washingtonexaminer.com/house-asked-clinton-to-testify-on-benghazi-but-she-declines-due-to-scheduling-conflict/article/2513151
Hmmm. I wonder what would happen if one of us ignored a subpena to testify before Congress because of a scheduling conflict?
Sorry. Got a meeting then. See you later.
Petraeus is a whore... a dirty whore... he carries political disease...
Yes....I blame Bloomer...He couldn't leave....she could...
She belongs in prison.
Obama has lotsa patterns.
Why do you think half his team is leaving.....unprecedented.
Pull that hair down and shake it babe!!:
Changed my mind:
He betrayed us, she betrayed him. Sweet!
Broadwell, Clapper, the jokes are waiting to be written.
Maybe this second woman wasn’t a romantic rival but a business rival.
“Stay away from David or I’ll.........”
That gets FBI attention these days? Maybe, if the second woman was somebody important. Who could it be? Any bets?
