So Holder and Zero knew about this in "late summer." And did nothing. How interesting.

So, at the time of the Benghazi attack, Petraeus was under constant FBI surveillance, and presumably the WH knew about everything he was up to.

Curious.

The top man knew everything. He chose to keep the matter secret until a time when he could put it to good use.
This is the time.

Just imagine if it were Nixon currently in the White House.

So Kelley gets some e-mails saying “Leave my man alone”and “I know what you did!” and she doesn’t know who they’re from and she goes to the FBI? And some FBI Agent spends months looking into this without notifying his superiors? Baloney. I used to admire the FBI. They’re just a bunch of political hacks and stooges. I’m pretty sure that an FBI Agent would have to let his boss know what he’s working on. Can you see this...

“What are you working on, Steve?”

“Well, Sir, a friend of mine got a threatening e-mail and I’m looking into it.”

“Oh, they threatened to kill your friend?”

“Ummmm....no. The e-mail said ‘I know what you did!’”

“That’s it?”

“Yeah”.

“Get your behind back to work on some real crime.”

So what’s late summer? How about September 12th?

The fact that Holder was sitting on this (as was the FBI) is probably why an FBI whistleblower went to Rep Dave Reichert, who subsequently passed the info on to Cantor and Mueller.

“The emails began arriving in Jill Kelley’s inbox in May, U.S. officials familiar with the probe said.”

I suspect if you waterboarded Eric Holder he’d start spilling enough deep, dark secrets to keep talking continuously past Christmas, 2014.

This is how it will be spun:

The CIA is a rogue outfit running secret rendition sites that the President knew nothing about. Petraeus was trying to blackmail Obama regarding the Benghazi experience, trying to make it look like the Prez never gave an order to protect the Ambassador, when in fact the CIA iced the order in order to make Obama look bad and swing the election to Romney who might be more friendly to the CIA.

And the press will believe it. They are priests in the Obama Personality Cult. They will believe anything. And everything. They think it’s part of being a good American.
