What you describe here and what Petraeus is actually doing are two very different things.
Nobody is asking that he try to bring down the sitting president just merely tell the truth as to what he knows.
His job description does not include lying to cover the Presidents crimes.
Please link me to where Patraeus has been lying. I’m not giving you grief. I didn’t see what you are referencing and I’d like to respond after knowing what we’re talking about.
N-O-T-H-I-N-G!
He only 59. It seems to me he trying to keep a low profile in this fiasco to maintain his future political ambitions. If it comes out he was directly involved in the CYA he is done politically.
