Patreaus steps down over an affair, first step on the path to the truth, next step he can testify truthfully before Congress. Third step Impeachment of Obama.
There is no man in a high position who had an affair, no matter how guilty he felt, no matter whether he told his wife or didnt, who would decide he needed to resign from his high position.
No way, no how.
Unless someone found out and threatened to blow it sky high unless he stepped down. Or threatened to blow sky high even if he resigned.
Which meant if he wanted to escape blackmail, he would be thus forced to resign and confess. No man does that otherwise. His hand was forced.
Next step is if he plans to testify truthfully to threaten his family. He stays quiet or someone dies. Isn’t that the way it is done? Or maybe he has already lost someone.
