“The FBI thought that he would be immediately asked to resign. That’s what would normally happen with a government employee. But, in fact, the White House said, no, we want to wait until after the election. So, agents were furious.
I’ve been given insight to the actual agents that were doing the case, and they think it’s inexcusable that this was allowed to continue for months without firing him.”
Great info Maggie!
It is not hard to imagine why he wasn’t fired. Obama liked having something to hold over his head. It’s the Chicago Way. Makes you really wonder how many other government officials, congress people and media elites have the same damocles sword hanging over their heads.
Makes one wonder how long Petraeus may have been blackmailed.
What or when did Vernon Loeb (co-writer of “All In”) know about the affair. He’s back with the WaPo, since early 2011.
