I wonder when all this BS over the Petraeus affair will stop and the real story of Benghazi will come out? The MSM has their marching orders so get ready for this to continue.

The affair is what Petraeus used to justify his resignation. His resignation ensures he will never have to speak about what he KNOWS about Benghazi. He is legally enjoined from saying ANYTHING about his days as DCI now that he has resigned.

The truth will come out that arms and supplies were coming from Libya through Turkey into Syria to supply Obama's boys. I want the whole mess to come out and I want to see Obama FRY for it.

This is by design. MSM will be consumed by this scandal which was timed to create a diversion from Libya.

No, not at all. He just can't testify as DCI. There is nothing to prevent Congress from subpoenaing him as a private citizen, and if he refuses to testify, he'll be in contempt. At best, he could plead the fifth. Which wouldn't look very good for the administration...

HUH?

That is complete Bovine Excrement.

While all CIA Agents and employees sign a non-disclosure agreements, that ONLY applies to "Classified" information they were made privy to while working to the Agency.

Moreover, Congress has oversight responsibility (you know like purse strings, confirmation of appointments, etc. among other?) over the CIA and anyone thinks that merely by resigning, P can escape having to testify--especially in closed hearings--they are smoking something other than tobacco.

I believe you're right about that. The Benghazi tragedy has disappeared. Even on Fox there's no new information coming out. It's all Patraeus all the time now.

Every American will know the names of Paula Broadwell and Jill Kelley. Who will know or remember the names of Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods? Chris Stevens or Sean Smith?

Ever hear of the term "subpoena" and the subsequent "swearing under oath?"

As a side note, I doubt that a subpoena will be necessary to get the General to appear. But if it is, then it's likely a legal formality........

Whatever the case may be, the General will be testifying.........
