Petraeus will not say anything that incriminates Obama.

True, but the house isn’t going to vote to impeach unless they have a reasonable expectation that the Senate will convict.

Because if they do, and the senate acquits it makes the house look like they were playing politics.

“Hmmm....So Barry has Susan Rice lie, because he promises her that she’ll be SOS. He has Petraues lie by blackmailing him and telling him that his affair will be kept quiet and he can keep his job if he just does as he’s told. “

And the really good part was that they were planning all along to throw Petraues to the wolves after the election, knowing that the bizarre story of his affair and all the whack jobs involved would override interest the Administration’s debacle in Benghazi forever.

Thus Petraues would be doubly useful. First, he’d help with the Benghazi coverup prior to the election, and then second, they’d use him after the election as a Judas goat for the media to slaughter instead of going after Obama’s dereliction in Benghazi.

In any other two bit dictatorship, everyone would assume that blackmail was the case. Just put the actors in Panama, or Zimbabwe, or Cuba, or Russia.

The MSM, as part of the “Protect Dear Leader” at any cost, is just trying to say that it could never happen here.

Kudos to Krauthammer for saying the emperor has no clothes.

I think it’s likely that Krauthammer is right. If it can be proven, it’s both impeachable and criminal behavior.
