petraeus is a strategist. THIS is an exit strategy. Tell my wife “They are out to get me.”
Have her consent to do whatever he needs to do to extract himself. They are ALL friends. Everyone involved in this knows everyone else.
These emails are done from a gmail account for G-d’s sake. So one family ‘friend’ complains to the FBI about ‘harrassing’ emails. Whoa. Then he outs his so-called mistress who is ALSO a family friend. Whoa. And then it turns out that thousands? of emails are sent from this account? Thousands? Really?
But it doesn’t end there. No. Suddenly we are told that well, maybe these so-called harrassing emails weren’t sent by that nasty mistress homewrecker after all. OOOOOO. Poor petraeus looks like he is being set up. He needs ‘time’ to fix his broken life. Awww. Pity the fool.
G-d love a duck, y’all. This is a script.
If Petraeus just wanted to resign, he could resign.
This crap is out only because he was being blackmailed, so when it came to lying under oath this time to Congress he got it out instead.
