The CIA would have asked him directly about affairs or other blackmailable issues. As long as Petraeus was honest about his activities (within limits) then he would get a pass on the security check.
Obama to Petraeus:
“Lie for me or wake up with a horse head in your bed!”
I want to know: WHO WAS PAULA BROADWELL WORKING FOR? She is a SPY for someone.. Possibly just an operative of 0bama performing a HIT on Petraeus, but she was also possibly spying on our counterterrorism activities on behalf of A SOURCE PAYING FOR HER INFORMATION. That source could be indirectly behind the attack on our Embassy.
I am just praying that Gen Petraeus is sufficiently incensed by the actions of the 0bama regime, the fact that he no longer has to hide the affair, and his loyalty to fellow military members, the heroic SEALs of Benghazi, that when he arrives to testify he does so with vengence in his heart! And let the chips fall where they may!
I’m interested in the lie detector test. There are two kinds and to work for this agency the Personal One would likely be used. Why would this test not reveal his personal behavior? Why would the “Director” be immune from the test and others are not? Interesting.
soetoro isn’t gonna like this.
“whispered about by his senior-level colleagues and by his personal staff in the military, who worried that it might become publicly known”
Well, that’s a horse head of a different color - now the potential exists that he would be recalled to active duty for adverse action or court-martial, depending on what UCMJ offenses are supported. Certainly plausible that a grade determination would find the last grade at which he served honorably was something less than 4 stars...
If Napolitano is correct, then by outing himself Petraeus refused to be blackmailed.
The counterpoint to that is that Petraeus took the CIA job even though he knew he was lying down with dogs. That gave the impression he just might be one of the dogs.
Napolitano’s article notwithstanding, Petraeus could still be taking one for the Obama team. There’s no real way to know.
So, when he testifies before Congress is he playing misdirection for Obama, is he playing honest broker, is he playing CYOA....what?
What I do know is that a man who truly did have the credentials to make a presidential run has been ruined. He’s also one who could have given Hillary Clinton hell.
There are layers upon layers to this. I’d be careful with any information gained from anyone with connections to the administration.
At this point, Petraeus has to be in survival mode. He is bright enough to answer questions vaguely enough to not really let any cats out of the bag and get him in doo doo with either side.
That said, don’t the Security briefings have some sort of paper trail that high level Congress critters could demand to see?
Being the CIA chief I’m sure he knows alot about those in DC so during his congressional testimony I’d like to Gen Petraeus do one more thing for this country; reveal all that he knows about the obozo, how he actually got to the WH and out the rest of the communists in the administration and congress.
