The same way he got so many of his ‘exclusive’ informations and ‘interviews’, such as the one with the dying ex-CIA chief a ways back: he pulls them out of the air?

What a non-story.

So McFarland got taped in Petraeus’ office, then rolled in the media at a more politically convenient time, and she is surprised?
