It’s been reported that James Clapper and the FBI knew of the affair before Petraeus was put in charge of the CIA.

Not true apparently. The time lines I've seen state that the affair ran from last November (after Petreaus had assumed the CIA job) until July of this year, and I've also read that Clapper apparently wasn't aware of the FBI Investigation until Election day.

Clapper is the DUMBEST person in government.
