Things are falling into place for a Thursday/Friday document dump I’m thinking..

"he has decided to retire to spend more time with his family and to pursue other professional opportunities,”

Answering Congressional subpoenas should be at the top of that list.

And from a 1980s song “And the walls came down. They stood there laughing. They're not laughing anymore. The walls came down.”

Life of paid retirement on the taxpayer all the money and benefits without the work and will get a consulting job in a year.

You need a program to track which scandal is not being referenced by the LSM.

My guess is all these people are trying to lock in their retirement benefits - before they get sent to prison.

me thinks someone pissed someone off.

You can run but you ca’t hide!

[central_va]

This partisan witch hunt is getting out of control. < /sarc >

[ConservativeMan55]

I think so too.

You are onto something.

They want to make sure the people will have to pay them for life so they’ll have money when and if they get out of prison.

For which scandal is he resigning, do you know?

My humble advise to any administration: don't throw the spooks under the bus.

The 100 pages of e-mails showed a disagreement between David H. Petraeus, then the director of the C.I.A., and his deputy, Michael J. Morell, over how much to disclose in the talking points, which were used by Susan E. Rice, the ambassador to the United Nations, in television appearances days after the attack.

Mr. Morell, administration officials said, deleted a reference in the draft version of the talking points to C.I.A. warnings of extremist threats in Libya, which State Department officials objected to because they feared it would reflect badly on them.

Mr. Morell, officials said, acted on his own and not in response to pressure from the State Department. But when the final draft of the talking points was sent to Mr. Petraeus, he dismissed them, saying “Frankly, I’d just as soon not use this,” adding that the heavily scrubbed account would not satisfy the House Democrat who had requested it.

“This is certainly not what Vice Chairman Ruppersberger was hoping to get,” Mr. Petraeus wrote, referring to Representative C. A. Dutch Ruppersberger of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, which had asked Mr. Petraeus for talking points to use with reporters in discussing the attack on Benghazi.
