EXCERPT

HANNITY: Well, to what extent do you think this is connected to Benghazi? Because for example, why now? Petraeus was supposed to testify this week.

CHAFFETZ: Yeah, it’s so suspicious. There — it’s not a coincidence to me. He is probably the one that knows most about what happened or didn’t happen in Benghazi. And if this is looming over his head when he went to go brief the United States Senate, did that influence the way, the direction and the story that he told? Because a lot of senators don’t believe he was telling the truth, then. This begs more questions than it answers.

HANNITY: It does.

All right, Ron Kessler, you knew October 10 that this had taken place?

KESSLER: Yes. I was still working on getting more corroboration, but the agent who gave me this information said that the decision had been made, even though they knew way back in the spring that this affair was going on, to hold off until after the election, and that’s exactly what happened, to hold off...

HANNITY: Well, who made that decision? Do we know yet?

KESSLER: Well, it certainly went up to Bob Mueller, it went into the Justice Department, according to this agent. I’m quite sure that President Obama knew about it and gave the order. There was no other reason why they would have withheld this.

You know, I was told by an FBI agent at a high level, if this had been uncovered involving a high level FBI executive, he would have been out the door the same day, they wouldn’t have left him in office, that’s absurd. And yet, he was in office from the spring until October. And then just by coincidence Obama’s told two days after the election? I mean, it’s so transparent that this is a big cover-up.

And the real issue, as you mentioned, is the blackmail issue. And that is Russian foreign intelligence criminals, if they had gotten on to this affair, would have used it as blackmail against Petraeus to get our biggest secrets, and that’s why with the security clearance you’re not supposed to compromise yourself in this way.

We need his name and picture. He probably played a bigger part in this than we are led to believe.

Did this party planner actually think that once the FBI got involved with her emails that they would stop before they got to her emails with Allen???

Was she that stupid???

Probably. Obama kept the order to stand down because in his mind it was staged...Probably no one was suppose to get hurt, but something went wrong. Perhaps Obama was to have a team to go in and rescue Stevens therefore making Obama look pretty good to the people here in the USA for the election. A pretty crazy scenario, but look at the picture ARGO! Obama thought he could pull it off easily.

You can never control those crazy Muslims actors when you are staging a protest. Sometimes they get carried away with their rolls!

"Where does that shirtless FBI agent fit in the mix???"

It's time for the Vice-President to join in.

I’m starting to suspect that some very key people who know enough to blow the lid sky high are being systematically taken down.

LMAO
I love that pic

In April I was visiting DC, walking along the west side of the WH. Suddenly security shuts down the street and all pedestrian traffic.

After about a 10 minute wait, Biden comes cruising out the driveway in an armored Suburban, with 3 escort cars.

A guy in a thousand dollar suit turns to me and says “If Joe didn’t have a chauffeur, I doubt he could find his way home for lunch...”

Dig enough and you’ll find something on everyone. If not, then spin something or make carp up.

Actually, Hitler threatened Rommel’s wife and son, but promised to leave them alone if he committed suicide. Surprisingly, Hitler did.

To many variables to absorb. I start to run various type routines through the pee brain, such as to the possibilities the two women where third party to received certain things that then would be passed onto CENTCOM in order to avoid official channels. I'll let it go at that for the time being.
Leaving the boards for a bit to get some things done.
