If there’s anything left in him that’s honorable he’ll insist on testifying.

<>"Did administration try to bribe Petraeus before he resigned because of affair?"

I think the proper word is "extortion", not "bribe". It's clear to me, now, that Petraeus was told to approve the talking points, or else..... He didn't, and so was exposed.

Henry Hyde was a mountain of a man. Met him on one occasion and was amazed.

I thought I came across something the other day that stated the info on petraeus’ affair was known and ‘held’ for the right moment. Not sure where I read that, I can try and dig it up.

Something has overcome our men, there is little honor on display and it’s heartbreaking to witness.

“...most men in that situation would have caved in to the blackmail. “

That’s the problem! We have moral pygmies for military leaders. They are no better than the government union goons. All they want is their cushy retirement and so what if the country turns to crap.

The real issue is why the President of the United States did not even try to rescue the victims of the terrorist attack.

It follows if Gates cover has to do with Brennan (who went to Libya Oct 10th to talk to the Lib prez, so they say), Clapper and Morell should be served re: hearings as well.

They may flip on Morell as well as Pet. No wonder they kept him around after the ‘scandal’ Obviously this Arab Spring program has been in the works for a long time.

This is ever so much bigger than anyone realizes. Preplanned every step of the way since obama visited Cairo and personally invited the muslim brotherhood to his speech, He had been speaking with morsi every day for months.

The article I just linked indicates they are still trying - tried to pressure him into making a plea deal ....

He said nope.

The real question is “why are they threatening Patraeus now”?

Several years later.

My instinct is that Obama admin is always manipulating and creating some types of false flag hoaxes before they step out to get control of whatever it is they want at the moment.

I think the Sony hack attack and this stupid Centcom Twitter hack business was all engineered by Obama government to happen before Obama proposals at the SOTU speech. The idea is to scare people into going along with the power grab Obama wants. The Twitter hack is really not all that important, but it had the word Centcom on it and supposedly the JV ISIS team is behind it. LOL Imagine if that were really the main Centcom hacked?

Perhaps David Patraeus knows too much and is being reminded that he should keep his mouth shut..or else.
