One of the mysteries in the Benghazi scandal has been the role of David Petraeus, who was then the Director of the CIA but was forced to resign in a personal scandal shortly thereafter. While the White House and State Department tried to cobble together talking points to explain away the terrorist attack that took four American lives, what did Petraeus do?

If David Petraeus wants to earn the money he’s been paid all these long years, he’ll come clean on this...
no matter what they have on him.
Anything less and he’s a traitor ...

Thanks for the ping.
Was surfing the Talk shows....and ....CBS allowed Sheryl Atkinson to show up and was interviewed by Bob Schifer (sp?)...He gave here kind words about her following the Benghazi story and told her to keep it up.

Obama purged the whole bunch, Army Marine and Navy right after Bengahzi for some pretty strange reasons. Did Obama purge them or did they quit in disgust?

Minor point but HotAir is wrong this was not the first time this has been reported. For one Steve Hayes has already reported this.

This is why they sacked Petraeus right after the election.

At a minimum he should have forwarded to Obama (and Susan Rice if he knew she was going to appear on the Sunday morning talk circuit) that the video was not an event in Benghazi and that the Prime Minister of Libya himself asserted the attack and killing of 4 Americans was due to a terrorist attack.
His initial report already said what happened and nowhere in the report did he say it was the video.
To: Nachum
Now if Petraeus will come out and say, “They blackmailed me to go along with this, I refused, and they dumped the info about my affair.”

If there is a Watergate like special investigation—can’t they make him testify under oath?

The talking points issue is a distraction.
The real issue is why the President of the United States did not even try to rescue the victims of the terrorist attack.
To: savedbygrace
Obama is in the clear--Robert Gates has come to his rescue saying he wouldn't have tried to rescue the people in Benghazi either.
What do they have on Gates?
How long did Obama know about Petraeus' affair and did he use that knowledge to blackmail him until after the election?
I admire Henry Hyde for not being deterred from proceeding with the Clinton impeachment process despite having a dark secret in his past which Larry Flynt made public...most men in that situation would have caved in to the blackmail.
