Senior FBI officials are expected to brief the House and Senate Intelligence Committees today on their handling of the Petraeus investigation. The officials are expected to lay out how the case was developed and argue that there were no politics involved.

The case is so critical that FBI Director Robert Mueller may attend to defend the bureau, ABC News has learned. Members of Congress have been angry that they were not informed about the case before the story was reported by the media, but FBI officials maintain that their guidelines forbid them from discussing ongoing criminal cases.

Is the timing of this in keeping with Eric “The Coward” Withholder’s sudden discovery that he, in fact, has more ‘gas in his tank’ to stay on as the head of the Just Us Department? Does retaining Holder aid in the cover-up and obfuscation?

Is it possible that these documents were planted?

This woman could not be this stupid.

I understand that she is an Intelligence Officer(LTC)in the U.S. Army Reserve. If so, she has a Top Secret Clearance but we don’t know what access she is authorized.

I wish the conservative media would get off the subject of this Paula Poundwell woman, and the generals, etc., and back to Benghazigate.

Not sure why this would be a problem. Didn't The White set the precedent when they gave classified info to Hollywood regarding Seal team 6?

Obama is after her big time. He wants to utterly destroy Petraeus.Why?

There is a pattern of Obama shafting all the generals along the Benghazi trail. And Congress is giving Obama plenty of time to do it? Why?

Why isn’t Petraeus subpoened by Issa’s House Oversight Committee? Feinstein wants him first a a Senate Committee witness??

Petraeus should be on the hill testifying about Benghazi.STAT.

Is this another way to tell Petraeus that the price of him telling the truth about Benghazi would be very high indeed?

“The issue of national security is still on the table,” one U.S. law enforcement official said.

Look at what's occupying the White House and then tell me that you're concerned with national security??!!!

The administration tried to use the affair to get Petreus to toe the line on the Benghazi story and he eventually called them on it, so they raised the ante and ‘reopened’ the classified documents case.

We'll see if the General goes 'all in' and gives Congress the unvarnished truth about the Benghazi debacle.

A little smoke and mirrors going on here:
From ABC

“...The FBI found classified material on a computer voluntarily handed over by Broadwell earlier in the investigation. ....”

Key word above is earlier. When was that? October 21? Wasn’t she cleared? Do we know where that computer was kept? I may have missed it, but has anyone stated classified info was found at her home computer?

Nothing is to be taken at face value.
