Attkisson lays out a good case that Petraeus's exposure by the government was related to his unwillingness to go along with the Benghazi cover-up.

If this is the case, it is time for Petraeus to patriot-up. Come forward with what he knows.

Of course. Hope he has good security. And backup copies.

I wonder if I should be thinking General George S. Patton in this.

If Patraeus got just 5% of media support that Valerie Palme did, he’d be in good shape.

Classic case of the set-up via ‘honey trap’. Check Paula Broadwell’s bank accounts or perhaps she was paid in cash.

She may be right about that, but he made the bed they exposed him lying in, and that was about as boneheaded as you can get. He’s an experienced professional with top security clearance and holds a position of trust the most elite military leadership ranks, yet acts like a horny teenager.

If the Petraeus thing goes well zer0 and holder will indict Bush and Cheney for war crimes just like their Eurotrash Marxist overlords want.

Just finished reading her book.
It’s a heavy and disturbing read.

am reminded of a time ... where the nazis went after their Generals too ... General Petraeus was not the first to have the nazis after him ... in remembrance of the stand down order issued to an Admiral (do not remember name and a General Hamm. They went bye-bye too during the ben (been) of Benghazi.

I don’t really see anything NEW in this article... But, Sharyl has great way of keeping the story alive.

We ALL knew, when it happened.. what went down. Most news reporters today just “let it go”. She keeps dogging it, until ALL the details are known.

She’s proving, what we all already know to be true.

That might not SEEM to be important, but... it is.

She is a National Treasure.

Wonder if WH used the NSA to tap into Petraeus’s email and phones - ditto all the other military leaders they have canned.

What’s really going on with General Petraeus?

Petraeus has been raking it in on several do-nothing Warbucks Inc corporate boards. If he had any honor, he would have already done a Colonel Hackworth on the Sunday morning news circuit.

Yes, he’s being punished, but the take-away is the unhappy tippy-canoe of the status quo “understanding” is being tipped over and there will be more to come.

He should have written his book about his betrayal by Team Obama, Deputy DCIA Mike Morrel (now at CBS as a “consultant”) and all of the rest. He knows what happened at Benghazi, and it saddens me that he’s just been satisfied to rake in millions in do-nothing board directorships.

His honor is 100% at stake, if he has any left.

A 4-star is the same exact rank as Obama’s “good friend Chris” Stevens.

FWIW.

And now Petraeus’s back-stabbing ex-deputy is a CBS new consultant, Mike Morell. Who a year ago lied one way to congress, and a year later lied 180* the other way, and said, “What you going to do about it, punk?” and they did nothing. He was the CIA collaborator on changing the talking points, behind Petraeus’ back. And probably was involved in the timing of the Paula Broadwell blow-up, which until then had been kept in the drawer and used for blackmail.

But blackmail also has a “timed detonation” use, keep in mind.

If he had any honor, since he knows the entire truth of Benghazi, he would have done a Hackworth already, never mind selling the book deal first.

Instead, he’s been raking in millions on Warbucks Inc boards, which is the establishment’s way of paying him off to keep his trap shut.

That was the unsteady arrangement, me thinks. Now, Holder/Obama is launching a frontal assault. In South America, this is usually a pre-emptive strike, where the dissident politician is accused of embezzling funds and sending them to a Swiss account. This usually happens in Buenos Aires or Caracas about one week before the dissident announces his candidacy.

So I’m guessing they found out Petraeus was writing a tell-all, and are trying to burn him down first.
