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.
Who actually KNOWS if Clapper asked him to resign or if it was Petraeus’ idea? I’ve heard a different story every day about what happened, and I frankly don’t think we’ve heard the truth yet by any means.
I’m just not sure. If Petraeus wouldn’t testify the way they wanted and decided to get out in front of the story with his confession, I think they’d still want to humiliate him and make it look like they have control and made him resign....
