Breaking on Fox.
Will testify before the House AND Senate?
Do you know which hearing is open...televised?
There is a hearing tomorrow. Testifying that soon?
Just breaking- no details yet on when.
No. A retired officer’s earned pension can be revoked only by general court martial resulting in conviction of a crime under the UCMJ and subsequent dismissal from the service. Not gonna happen.
Correction: He WILL testify before the House AND Senate.

Also breaking: Pelosi to remain. Ugh
I think he'll run a modified, limited hangout.
He'll explain "the movie made 'em do it" line as being based on the best information available at the time, thereby giving cover to himself and to the administration. Then he'll say the information was misinterpreted, and "the movie made 'em do it" is not presently operative.
IOW, he told the truth, but in hindsight it was an incorrect truth. Maybe.
Not sure yet. Fox news does not get into the timeframe yet. Watch for the WH counsel office to make some legal moves today to stop him or limit his scope. House will have to grant him immunity more than likely.
Both hearing were closed-door and scheduled for tomorrow. No word if that’s still the schedule.
Petraeus was scheduled to testify on the raid before Congress in separate closed-door hearings Thursday
Thanks SE!
Offering to testify ... possibly one baby step back to being a ‘good man’. Now we’ll see if he says he can’t discuss it, obfuscates, sticks to the protest meme or does he return to his reputation for honor and truthfulness prior to Paula Broadwell. I’m guessing the ‘scales’ have fallen off his eyes in the last week and he’s clearly seeing what a narcissistic opportunistic idiot she is and how badly he got played ... suspect he’s also acutely aware of and smarting from the WH machinations regarding him/Benghazi. Regardless, I’m guessing there are some folks chewing their fingernails in the WH right about now ......
I hope so too. Bewteen now and the time he testifies, the administration, with the help of their lap dogs in the mainstream media, will do everything in their power to tear down Petraeus and destroy his reputation. If he does give testimony that is damaging to Obama, he will be portrayed in the media as a "bitter, disgraced ex-general who has an axe to grind, and is completely lacking in credibility." They will deflect attention away from the evnts in Benghazi, and make the whole thing about Petraeus.
House, but not Senate?
The House is in GOP hands...the RATS control the Senate.
Hadn’t one of the Benghazi hearings been scheduled as OPEN?
Uh oh, also breaking -— Hamas’ top military commander killed in Israeli airstrike.
House is an open hearing.

Breaking: Petraeus to testify on Benghazi attacks
EXCERPT
...This probably won’t mean any big surprises in the Benghazi story line, but it will give Congress an opening to demand answers on how the White House decided to push the spontaneous-movie-review meme for so long in the face of the overwhelming data that the attack was both deliberate and well-planned, with paramilitary forces, materiel, and tactics.
If Petraeus is a credibile and honorable person he will face the music by being tesifying truthfully to the house and senate. all we can now is what and see what happens! just hoping he states the truth and sticks it to Obama and his cronies.
You don’t get to 4stars without being political enough to ride a fence into infinity. Don’t get your hopes up about some bomb shell..it ain’t gonna happen.
The fog of war covers it..and then we did everything we could with the resources at hand. The prisoners were taken in the action at the main building..etc.
P4 will make it seem the only big mistake was not enough security. End of story.
FNC says it will be on Friday.
Thank you. There are three hearings.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee has scheduled an open hearing for next Thursday on the Libya terror attack and has invited Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to testify, Fox News has learned.
The committee joins two others planning to hold hearings, albeit closed ones, that day.
Thanks — here’s confirmation
The House Foreign Affairs Committee has scheduled an open hearing for next Thursday (Nov 15) on the Libya terror attack and has invited Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to testify, Fox News has learned. The committee joins two others planning to hold hearings, albeit closed ones, that day.
The House Intelligence Committee will hold its closed hearing on the attack on Nov. 15.
The Senate Intelligence Committee plans to meet the same day to discuss the Libya attack — that hearing will also be closed to the public.
Or the next Ollie North?
