Isn't this the selfsame admiral who was in command of the Carrier Group in the Med when the Benghazi massacre went down? IIRC, he had intended to send help over his orders, and was relieved of command on the spot.

This is a snow job to justify that, just like Petreus' mistress (as if that is unusual in D.C. circles). The alleged classified material on her HDD could have been put there by most any hacker worth a check.

Both of these people either said they did not issue orders to stop a rescue operation or had done so, countermanding orders from higher up the food chain. Now they both are being drawn and quartered in the press to pay for their sins.

The coup continues, Chicago style.

Badly worded, let's try that again:

Both of these people either said they did not issue orders to stop a rescue operation or had shown intent to issue orders for a rescue operation, countermanding orders from higher up the food chain. Now they both are being drawn and quartered in the press to pay for their sins.

That makes more sense.
