I’ve thought all along that Petraeus was being blackmailed to toe the administration’s “it was the video” meme on Benghazi. I thought he was resigning because the ‘red line’ for him was going to be testifying under oath this week and he wasn’t willing to lie under oath. Now, it seems Clapper was the one who aked him to resign .... Petraeus wasn’t the one originating the resignation idea so .... still think the blackmail opportunity would have been too good for the Obamathugs not to have used it, but it’s not as strong a case as it would have been if Petraeus resigned of his own volition, ostensibly to get out from under the blackmail threat.
