Breaking now.

[Meet the New Boss]

Rep. Peter King mentioning on Sean Hannity show, that rumors are around about who the person was, and that they may have been accessing Petraeus’ computer.

Remember this?

A female Russian spy -- possibly flame-haired media darling Anna Chapman -- was close to seducing a member of U.S. President Barack Obama's cabinet in 2010, the assistant director of the FBI for counterintelligence revealed in a recent interview with British television. Frank Figliuzzi said the Federal Bureau of Investigation had been tracking a 10-person Russian spy ring for years but had to act sooner than planned because the female agent was getting close to drawing a U.S. official into a "honey trap."

[GlockThe Vote]

Exactly. Why would he even be so open about the reason? Seems very FNG strange unless this is being used as a diversion for something else.

[no-to-illegals]

Good to see someone Manned Up.

[formosa]

Infidelity is an asset to democrats. It must be for some other reason.

[dfwgator]

What if she is a he?

He would have been promoted.

[Anima Mundi]

Or possibly there is someone who cares about the country who was blackmailing him to tell the truth about Benghazi.

[llevrok]

they brought out the affair.

Yup. Honey trap, me waters say.

[Signalman]

Someone resigning for having an extramarital affair? In 2012?
If this were 1950, when the concept of personal shame existed, then yeah, I could believe it.

There has to be more to this story.

[The Cajun]

Just a thought, this is going to occupy the news cycle for a while, especially this weekend.................No chance of talk about the increasing probability of massive election fraud.
The further we get time wise from the election, the more defused the situation gets.
There's no bigger show than a sex scandal for the sheeple to focus on............Just thinking out loud again.

[LeoWindhorse]

there is a reason why the Lord has warned us ,and forbidden us , from adultery. It’s a true and grievous sin . It destroys . It has destroyed David Petraeus . Yet he did the right thing and God will forgive . I pray his wife will also . Yet it’s easier to forgive than it is to forget. Forgetting often never comes .

[Noob1999]

Sounds to me that he didn’t like the type font on his invitation to the hanging party in congress!

[Drill Thrawl]

What's that liberal phrase that was used constantly about anything that happened under W? Oh, yeah...

I question the timing.

[littleharbour]

Even as a private citizen he can be subpoenaed by the House committee to testify on what he knows about Benghazi.

[dragnet2]

Right, and it backfired in his face.

Even those in the CIA would never be stupid enough to use a scheme, involving the wife. Way too much to go wrong.

[Noob1999]

.................Imagine if this story and the Drone being shot at were actually reported on last week before the election. Where would we be now???........................

Yeah, and Valerie Jarrett negotiating with the ragheads in Iran under cover!

[Uri’el-2012]

Making room for the new CIA Director...

I don't think so !

She is already POTUS

zero is only the official reader of the TOTUS

[Aurorales]

How sad it is that that is very possible.

[nuconvert]

I have to wonder with Hitlery leaving and a general changing of the guard, if there’s a space opening for Bill somewhere.

[presently no screen name]

Exactly. Now under the bus he goes. Nothing ever good comes from being friends with evil!

[ThePatriotsFlag]

First, I've never seen calm and professional Catherine Herridge come closer than saying "bull****" during her interview on this.

Second point, he must have had the affair Wednesday ...then talked to Zero about it Thursday and resigned after the news cycle Feiday. Of course he couldn't have had the affair before the election, Zero would have told us. Do these people think we are ALL STUPID? What a bunch of amateurs. This brings Benghazi front and center, where it should be,
