Hey, I hope I’m wrong. And there is nothing “Dear” about him!
Not entirely.
The only out for the Obama loving media (notably NBC) is to play stalking horse to the CIA. And...they need to tread lightly you see as Patreaus has nothing to lose at this point in utterly excoriating Hillary Clinton and Obama over Benghazi.
