Behind closed doors.

Gee is there anything about Benghazi that Americans cannot be trusted to hear about?

Another example of the most open administration in history.

Wonder why Feinstein is yapping, given that he is testifying before a HOUSE committee, NOT the Senate!

The hearing is in front of the House Intelligence Committee. The HOUSE!!! Intelligence Committee. Why is Boehner agreeing to a closed-door hearing? Or, is that a dumb question?

Petraeus was the subject of an Obama organized FBI grift and blackmail worthy of J. Edgar Hoover in the old days.One can only hope that Petraeus has enough fortitude to tell the truth about Benghazi, instead of the Obama talking points on the subject.If not , then the good general needs to be turned upside down and shaken vigorously.

It's not going to matter! Obama needs to be asked and he HAS to answer WHEN he issued his directive. I just don't get why this is not a central focus because that question is where the ball gets rolling.

FGS, is there not some willing even the slightest bit curious reporter to investigate this?

We all know the Petraeus thing is nothing more than a diversion away from Obama. Unless Petraeus is going to spill the beans and bring the house down, SFW?

Didn’t Bush and Cheney testify in private after 9/11?

The House Intelligence Committee typically holds closed door hearing for the specific purpose of the name of the Committee. From one who has operated in the intelligence theatre I would expect nothing less with my ass on the front lines.

Granted nothing will become of whatever is disseminated in the hearing because the fix is in and Petraus doesn’t have the marbles to stand up an be honorable. That is why anything he says will be a plus for one side and a negative for the other and it won’t matter which side gets what because he has already compromised himself so anything he says either ay can impeached because he o longer as any credibility.Add to that his wife was “given” a $188K job at the new Consumer deal under the Fe with no accountability to the taxpayers.

This scandal is over as far as getting anything near the truth for at least our lifetimes, no matter how long that may be. Put a fork in it, the Republic is no more except for the whimpers w hear from anyone who care out the truth anymore.

That early? What, if anything is leaked from behind closed doors vfc, it’ll be during everyone’s commute to work so maybe the evil doers will have time by the evening news to spin it? One would think they’d have him sworn in just to be able to hold more blackmail over his head if he didn’t tell the truth whereas if not under oath then anything goes.

Rush is right. Petraeus will stick to the “it’s the video stupid” cover story.

1)Pension at stake
2)Wife just got $187K job with the Obama Administration
3)Mistress may be on the hook for prosecution

Thinking out loud here. Petraeus is said to have followed the company line in September. If true, not only did Broadwell contradict the admin on 10/26, she contradicted Petraeus, her ex lover, in a very public way.
Not sure what it means or if it means anything. Just something to keep in mind.
