The FBI investigation that led to the discovery of CIA Director David Petraeus’ extramarital affair and his resignation Friday started when the agency began monitoring Petraeus’ email, Fox News has learned. The agency was alerted that biographer Paula Broadwell, with whom Petraeus had the affair, may have had access to his personal email account.

Proof Democrats are corrupt and the only way to defeat them is to fight them, not hug them as the RINOs do.
Four Americans were killed in Benghazi, but that is the tip of the proverbial iceberg, if Team Obama was “walking” shoulder-fired heat-seeking missiles to Al Qaeda.
Which part of the UCMJ did he violate?
So every serving military officer, and all officer appointments are senate confirmed, should quit?
