Glenn Beck Breaks Down Petraeus Scandal: ‘What Are the Odds?’
The Blaze ^ | 11/13/2012 | Glenn Beck

Posted on 11/13/2012 6:30:20 AM PST by sheikdetailfeather

During Tuesday’s broadcast, Glenn Beck delved into the developing sex scandal involving David Petraeus, former director of the CIA. The former four-star general resigned his CIA post last week after acknowledging an extramarital affair.

However, the timing of his resignation — just days before he was scheduled to testify before Congress about the Benghazi terrorist attack — seems a little too coincidental, Beck explained.

“Petraeus was set to be the key witness in the Benghazi testimony this week,” he said. “But wouldn’t you know it, the FBI…accidentally stumbled upon some private emails and determined that he was having an affair.”

“What are the odds?”

Watch Beck break down the scandal via TheBlazeTV here:

This scandal is the knife edge for Obamugabe to slice the military and Intel agencies apart, and under his complete control through trusted henchmen. We are witnessing a soft coup...............

And its gotten even more bizarre since then with the news of the investigation of General Allen and the possibility that the White House is looking at Mike Rogers (R) to head the CIA.

In all seriousness.....

Obama is going to attempt to pin the Benghazi failure on his spooks. Spooks absolutely DETEST being thrown under the bus. And they are not shy about seeking revenge on their bosses (see: Valerie Plame). This is a pre-emptive shot across the bow from Obama that “you try this, and I’ll get you and your little dog too”.

Agreed.

That happened 4 years ago. This is just part of the spillover. More to come. Much more.

In a city that makes Sodom and Gomorrah look like Disneylands are we to assume this is unusual? ;-)

What is to stop David Petraeus from testifying before congress just because he has resigned?

Other than the feckless cowardice of a John Boehner or Mitch McConnell?

OK. I just answered the question.

Even the enemedia is going to have a hard time selling the notion that a man who can't control his own dick can't be trusted to give testimony after what they did for Bill Clinton.

The Chicago Mob controls the DOJ. It’s been an ongoing process since Bill Clinton asked for the resignation of all uS Attorneys.

I think Obama may be stepping on some very dangerous toes.

O boy I agree and no one can see that he is purging out all the NO men and replace them with YES men - his HENCHMEN. Now who in the past leaders in the world did that?

“We are witnessing a soft coup”
Exactly!!! I notice this pattern. I cannot believe my eyes that I am witnessing all this before seeing the destruction of this once great nation.

If Rogers really is on the short list to head the CIA, I think its a sign of desperation from the White House. Rogers has been pretty aggressive in pursuit of the truth in this matter and I have a hard time seeing it as anything more than a bribe.

He’d be a good man to have in that position but not till this is all cleared up.

No, No, No! The LAST thing the white-house wanted was for their leverage over Petraeus to become public. It was the leaks to Cantor etc. that triggered this disclosure. Now they have no control over Petraeus (or at least a big part) unless they have photos/videos. Never mind....
