Report: FBI whistle-blower contacted Eric Cantor on David Petraeus affair

Bottomline: Mr. Obama and Hillary have been running a private war against Syrian leadership, to include the assistance of Libyan Al-Queda. That, my friends, is your Iran-Contra+4 Dead Americans.

That's the conclusion I've come to as well.

[StAnDeliver]

Just remember, Petraeus is an Obama Administration appointee. Period.

Three quarters of the elected and appointed grifters in Washington are having illicit sex...

Could be a low estimate.

[Steven Tyler]

Did 0bummer skip the briefing and forgot to read the report?

[AndyJackson]

Why wasn't the Republican leadership informed by the FBI?

Do folks understand that this is totally f'in NSANE? The first problem is that this whistle blower leaked sensitive investigative information to Congress for political purposes. How about we have the FBI go through your life and report your teen-age antics to your congressman for further processing?

This is why we have laws against this sort of thing. Short of actual criminal evidence or evidence of a genuine security compromise, this kind of investigative information should have gone absolutely nowhere and this idiot needs to go to jail.

This is not whistle-blowing. This is leaking sensitive personal information that is frankly none of anyone else's business.

[Travis McGee]

Any adult who says he believes that the FBI would investigate the DCI for months without informing the president is either a damn liar, or a damn fool who should not be let out of a safe care facility for idiots and morons.

[House Atreides]

FluffetyFluff.

Anything at all on the whistleblower?
*************************************************************
Whoever he/she is, they tried to do the right thing. All involved should try to protect the informant’s identity since Obama & Holder (or whichever corrupt individual comes in to replace him) will be in power for the next four years and won’t hesitate to retaliate.

[Repeat Offender]

I doubt Cantor has to worry politically. He is from District 7 in Virginia (Culpeper); It has went solid red for more than 30 years.

[House Atreides]

“.........this kind of investigative information should have gone absolutely nowhere and this idiot needs to go to jail.
This is not whistle-blowing. This is leaking sensitive personal information that is frankly none of anyone else’s business.”
***************************************************************************************
Yes, under absolutely NO circumstances should anyone be allowed to reveal anything the Obama regime is trying to cover up or keep under wraps. If they do, OFF with their heads!

[AndyJackson]

Who Petraeus is shagging is very different from what the Obama regime is trying to do.

Your reaction is exactly why good men will not serve in high positions. Folks like you destroy them willingly.

[Hardraade]

If he/shhe wasn’t sent to do the administration’s bidding. We don’t know, do we?

Actually the 'first' problem is Petraeus placed himself in a compromised situation. Then poop started flowing downhill. It seemed to me obvious why Cantor went directly to the Director of the FBI. We sure are not going to be hearing about that investigation until it is completed, well, at least not by the adults left working for US.

Jerrett?

[Equidistantmiddle]

I’m sure the CIA knew about his affair, he would have had gone through a rigorous background investigation to include a complete lifestyle polygraph. If this woman was found to not be a foreign intelligence agent or receiving classified information they probably ignored it. Given that this affair ended sometime ago - they probably just regarded it as a personal problem. The question is, why was the FBI investigating thin air reports of harassing e-mails? Who gave them authorization to hack into e-mails and conduct surveillance based off of little to no evidence of criminal wrongdoing or classified information negligence? Isn’t there a FISA court for a reason?

[Vendome]

me too.

I thought “No way America’s lost it’s ever loving mind and electing a nobody, with a funny name and a vacuous history”,

But, we’ll all be dancing around the Kaaba one day...

[Just mythoughts]

Your questions remind me of how liberals govern. I am reminded of that ‘wall’ of self protection and ‘data mining’, that Hillary Clinton had Gorlick install within various agencies and departments of government. Below is a link I just read that gives a slightly different insight on the liberals latest drama.

Costa Rica is a good choice, although it has its problems.

Daily Caller recently ran a list of 10 “Conservative Countries” to which one could escape. Each has problems. The most attractive is Switzerland but it is expensive and hard to get residency.

My present choice is to live in a pleasant county in the USA and in a conservative (as well as Republican) state - and sweat it out.

This scandal gets more bizarre by the day.

But Muller got caught lying once before regarding a female agent.

Sandy burglar got caught stuffing classified documents down his underwear
And socks. And only got a wrist slap.
