Video: Say, why would the FBI be investigating a CIA director, anyway?
Hot Air ^ | 11:31 am on November 10, 2012 | Ed Morrissey

Piers Morgan asked a pretty good question of former CIA agent Robert Baer on his show last night, and Baer is just as perplexed as Morgan. David Petraeus suddenly resigned yesterday after the FBI discovered an extramarital affair with his biographer Paula Broadwell, but does the FBI routinely investigate the director of the CIA? Baer tells Morgan, “There is something going on here,” apart from the sexual peccadilloes. Or could it be as simple as the old adage that “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”?

They knew a high official was involved in the beginning?

Something else, far worse, is happening. This is a distraction.

When the emails involve a high official

And how did they know that initially....?

Petraus did not send the emails.

What COULD it be...

Obama is meeting today with the most radical of the radical, wonder what’s planned?

The election fraud and any investigations thereof.

Something to do with Obamacare...

Benghazi and all the secrets it holds...

He’s planning another golf outing.

All that extra oil we should have by 2017—he’s sold it all to China. (theory, not reality)

Let’s say you were a prez who just stole an election in a country with a very long history of, “real democracy” —what would you then do..?

You would lessen the chances of a COUP, that’s what you would do.

And I think that’s what we’re seeing.

I’m wondering if anyone at the FBI investigates our president?

Bwahahahahahahahhahaaa that’s funny. The FBI part of Holder’s Justice Department.

I know you weren’t serious about asking that question.

***“There is something going on here,” apart from the sexual peccadilloes.***

This is clear. There’s a broader agenda and goal at work here. I think it is broader than Benghazi as well.

It is about consolidation of leftist control of our most important governmental departments, bureaucracies and institutions.

Piers Morgan asked a pretty good question ...

Ed Morrissey starts right off with a total logical impossibility: Piers Morgan is not capable of asking an interesting question, even accidentally.

From what I’ve heard, and don’t hold me to this 100%, the harassment emails sent to this other woman from Broadwell specifically named Petraus.

I share your skepticism on this point - was the FBI completely surprised that the subject of the EMAILs turned out to be Petraeus or was it obvious to them who Broadwell was talking about from the beginning?

Petraeus had to go when it was discovered it was a heterosexual affair.

Agreed. An extra-marital affair by the CIA Director would be a potential security breach, and the FBI would have jurisdiction to investigate.

The plot thickens. Now they got Marine General Allen in mug shots alongside the D/CIA and the two women in question.
H. Clinton throws Congress the bird, then heads of to Australia for some wine tasting parties.
The weirdness in Alice and Wonderland pale to what we are seeing emerge.

Something to e-mail to every talking head, every Senator and every House rep.

--------------------------------------------------------

Fact One:

1) Only the POTUS can authorize a CBA (cross border authority) command for a rescue mission in a foreign nation.

Plus Fact Two:

2) No rescue mission was attempted.

Equals Fact Three:

3) 0bama turned his back on 41 State Dept. and CIA employees refusing to issue a CBA command and went to bed so he could go to Las Vegas the next day.

We already know two things that take it beyond an extra-marital affair. His gf was threatening another gov employee and she had classified docs on her computer.
