The revelations Saturday raised the possibility of a more complex situation surrounding Mr. Petraeus.

It seems each revelation carries with it another instance of the FBI being thwarted in some manner. Where has Mueller been through this? Is there a layer in the FBI loyal to the Administration charged with preventing certain information reaching the highest levels of the Agency?

Don’t forget the commanders of naval submarines, who have now been replaced with ‘loyal’ people who will not fire nuclear weapons.

I’m guessing that the Obama administration is simply purging anyone they think might be a threat to their plans for turning America into an Islamic state.
