Waaaaaaaaaait a minute. I have not read or heard that he had been questioned about the affair before he resigned. If you know otherwise then I would like you to post your source if it is a reliable one and not just some blog. General Petraeus might have voted for 0bama but he was an Officer and a Gentleman first. Otherwise you think he would have resigned? No way

King also said that the testimony from Petraeus today was much different than his original testimony on Sept. 14. Today, Petraeus told the committee that he knew “almost immediately” that the attack was the work of an al-Qaeda affiliated militia called Ansar al Sharia and that the “overwhelming amount of evidence said this was a terror attack.”

According to numerous reports, in his original testimony, Petraeus focused almost exclusively on the YouTube video as the prime motivator for the attack.

So, at least according to Rep. King, we have Petraeus amending and/or contradicting his original testimony,

While Petraeus prepares to give his side, lawmakers have begun to openly question when Petraeus first knew about the investigation that uncovered his affair — and whether it impacted his statements to Congress on Sept. 14 about the Libya terror attack.

Petraeus briefed lawmakers that day that the attack was akin to a flash mob, and some top lawmakers noted to Fox News he seemed “wedded” to the administration’s narrative that it was a demonstration spun out of control.

King, a New York Republican, said he told Petraeus he had a “different recollection,” referring to his Sept. 14 briefing to members of Congress that the attack on our Benghazi consulate was a “flash mob” gone wild in response to an Internet video.

Petraeus told lawmakers today that he consistently told Congress that there were terrorist elements involved in the attack, but King said he remembers Petraeus’ Sept. 14 testimony differently.

“I told him... I had a very different recollection of that,” King said.

When did the FBI first question him about the e-mails and the affair? He knew then that he was in trouble. And it was weeks before he resigned. Sorry, Petraeus may have been an officer, but he was no gentleman.
