WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Benghazi scandal might have taken on yet another dimension. Facts uncovered concerning the firing of Gen. David Petraeus indicate that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton may have played a role in exposing Petraeus’ extramarital affair with biographer Paula Broadwell. Publication of this affair ultimately forced Petraeus to resign as CIA director.
If a link is proven between Clinton and the Petraeus sex scandal, it could be viewed as consistent with other allegations of retaliation by the Obama administration against the three “whistleblowers” that testified before Congress on May 8. Petraeus, who clashed with Clinton's State Dept. over the infamous "talking points," lost his job soon after.

From now on, I’m getting my news from lightlbraisedturnip, so long CNN....
It’s about credibility.
The unfolding scandal reminds me of what Gen. Maximus told Commodus in Gladiator:
“The time for honoring yourself shall soon be at an end.”
Maybe we should go back and parse his statements from that time period and see if there are any little hints in his language.
Yes.... but not over his 'affair' with Paula. Once you let the 'secret' out, it's power is used up.
Besides, it was only the 'public' that didn't know about it. Everyone around him knew. I would also expect that if we checked, just about every 'on the road' military commander has some 'hottie' staff member that likes to cozy up to them.
Exposing the Paula affair was done to divert the public away from the real reason he resigned (meaning... told to quit or else).
Heh...
Agree completely. That resignation was not over the affair. It was about Benghazi and all that dirty stuff that we don’t even know about yet.
Petraeus resigned - not because of the affair - but because he didn’t want to go to prison, prosecuted for treason or bumped off by the WH. Maybe his family was threatened too.
I would love to see Petraeus testify in an upcoming hearing, and say these exact words: "I was being blackmailed by Hillary Clinton." The media would never be able to ignore a statement like that.
“Camp Womyn-tonka”
Satire folks...
I’d love to hear him say: “I was being blackmailed by Barack Hussein Obama.”
Not believing the connection. This Kelley was born with Hillary was a young adult. No way the meet at a summer camp..
They couldn’t get him to Ft. Marcy Park fast enough. LOL
Better than soap opera!!!
Shocking! Just shocking! So unexpected. /s
Oops! Well, it’s not the truth of the charge it’s the believability. What difference does it make?
LOL
If there was a camp called Womyn-tonka she would have gone to it, right? BTW ‘tonka’ means ‘buffalo’ in Lakota doesn’t it?
Odd site and not really all that creative much less humorous.
But, people gotta have a hobby.
I look forward John Semmens writing more.
Satire alert....
