Was the affair with a woman......?

[TChris]

Isn't it one of the simplest and most frequently used tactics of foreign intelligence agencies to arrange for "extra-marital affairs" (read: bait them into cheating) to take down their target? ...or at least gain strong leverage against him?

I suspect that might be what happened here.

[Batman11]

This is cover up bullshit! Make him testify!!!! Reps. Issa, Gowdy, Chafetz I implore you to take this investigation to the mat. Subpoena everybody! Make them appear! Make them take the fing 5th! Make these bastards pay!! Do it for revenge!!

I guess the headlines in the newspapers in my area will read “Local Boy Screws Up!”

Well we need more info, but General P was at spook central, so you have to think someone was using this to pressure or blackmail him, and he quit rather than be in that position.

It’s possible he just up and resigned from a guilty conscience but there have to be some steps involved.

[mylife]

Why would you resign over a bit of tail?

Makes no sense.
He is not even an elected official.

I wondered what 0bama was holding over his head to make him come out and lie about Benghazi. I think this is a pre-emptive move as 0bama was probably going to burn him anyway. Personally, I couldn’t care less if everybody connected with this president spontaneously burst into flames.

David and Holly Petraeus

[Gator113]

Hey Petraeus, hows you Benghazi hanging?

My grandfather taught me that there is one thing that no man can not take from you, your integrity/honor. He said that to lose it, you had to give it away and once lost, you can never get it back.

Do suffer much, Petraeus.

Now we know why he was so flexible on supporting the “offensive video” B.S.

[clamper1797]

What “convenient” timing ...

[Hoodat]

It’s truly sad when the Director of the CIA can’t keep an extramarital affair secret.

[skinkinthegrass]

how very, very convenient....when does the other shoes drop?
(more hollowing-out @ CIA & various intelligence Agencies)
...rem: O'Bozo's Comments to Putin's Henchman?
...after the election & 4 more years
...we'll be left blind again....it's Pearl Harbor redux

Everyone assumes that he had the extra marital affair. Anyone consider it might be his wife that had one? Funny how it is naturally assumed it is the man at fault. (not saying it isn’t, just noticing the trend)

[Steamburg]

Yes, sex with Obama was in very bad taste.

[b4its2late]

Affair my ass. He stayed long enough to get O thru the election. O Gate.

[patriotspride]

Will he still have to testify ?

[Brad from Tennessee]

I can’t get inside the general’s mind but what is the purpose of so openly confessing to an extramarital affair unless it was being held over his head to extort him? He could have been blackmailed by his girlfriend or by the White House. Chicago could have private investigators tracking everybody in D.C.

[liberalh8ter]

Extramarital affair? That would get him extra points with democrats. There’s definitely more to this.

[Williams]

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.
