full title.....Revealed: Petraeus 'flew his biographer mistress to Paris on taxpayer funded trip after being named CIA chief' David Petraeus took his mistress with him on a government-funded trip to Paris after he was named director of the Central Intelligence Agency, it was claimed today.

~~SNIP~~

Buzzfeed also reports that Petraeus's unofficial press agent, Tom Ricks, helped Broadwell score a literary agent, a publisher and a six-figure deal for her biography.

Broadwell isn't the only biographer of Petraeus's who has gotten special treatment from him.

I hope he tries to make amends by coming clean about Benghazi, Obama and Hillary.

They are trying to destroy his creditability for upcoming testimony or a future political run.

"Generals get a lot of perks."

By the time this is over, Petraeus will be lucky to score a Cialis endorsement.

The only two things that are important here are 1) was national security compromised in any way? Somehow my gut tells me that it wasn't but I surely could be wrong.And 2) what steps,if any,were taken to keep this quiet until after the election in order to keep Benghazi-gate out of the campaign?

The House needs to get him before them...give him fully immunity if needed...and demand that he give a minute-by-minute timeline of the CIA's involvement (or lack of involvement) in the terrorist attack in Benghazi.

She had classified documents on her computer. The FBI has questioned them both about this - she says the source is not Petraeus, he says he isn’t the source. SO - who is?

He needs to be subpoenaed and given conditional immunity with assurances his pension and benefits are not at risk and that there will be no questions about extramarital affairs.

Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
