CNN) -- David Petraeus' resignation was not linked to the September attack that killed four Americans in Benghazi, Libya, and he never passed classified information to the woman he was having an affair with, the former CIA director told an HLN journalist.
Petraeus, in conversations with HLN's Kyra Phillips, confirmed to her what his supporters have been saying about ongoing scandal.
"In our first conversation," Phillips said Thursday, Petraeus "had told me he had engaged in something dishonorable. He sought to do the honorable thing in response -- and that was to come forward. He was very clear that he screwed up terribly ... even felt fortunate to have a wife who is far better than he deserves."
Phillips, who knows Petraeus from several interviews, initially reached out to him to express shock at the news of the affair that derailed a highly decorated career in the military and CIA.

Among other things, Petraeus said he has not talked with Paula Broadwell, his biographer and woman he admitted an affair with, since the scandal broke.
"He insisted to me that he has never passed classified information to Paula Broadwell," Phillips said. "He said this has nothing to do with Benghazi, and he wants to testify. He will testify."

There doesn’t have to be any charges, Broadwell is through. Unless things change drastically, her military career is done. It appears that the universities are afraid of her.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
I'll save Congress the time. Here will be her testimony: "I'm sorry, I can't recall".
Maybe he can place a call to Ollie North.
YEP that’s it. WHITEWATERGATE testimoney.
Ironic that WATERGATE has come FULL CIRCLE and is biting her in the butt. reap what you sow
I wish that the only job she could get after this, would be as a test driver at the GEICO BROOM FACTORY.
>>How the heck did she/broadwell get the classified documents?
She is a West Point grad, LTC in the Reserves in military intelligence. I would be surprised if she didn’t have a TS clearance.
I’d suggest there are plenty of ways she could have obtained material outside of Petraeus, your commentary notwithstanding.
as Obama walks quietly away, unscathed.
