Along those lines...anybody consider that this is a “sting” aimed at the administration?
Whoohoo! No, but the possibilities are delicious!

Yes I have. Been thinking that for awhile now.
I look at it as a game of chess.
Kind of wondered that myself.
Yes, sort of. But I’m trying not to get my hopes up.
Here are some possibilities I’ve considered:
1. Affair is not real. Emails and other evidence faked to see who took the bait. Holly may or may not know the truth. Bait would uncover who is looking where they don’t belong and who is willing to use it as blackmail.
2. Affair is real and is a side issue. Petraeus was being blackmailed by the WH all along. He was watching 0bama and his minions and puppeteers and waiting until he had enough evidence and the time was right to pounce. In order to shine the light on the corruption and treason in the WH, he had to admit the affair in order to remove it as a threat.
In either case 1 or 2, blackmail would be just one more sordid charge on top of all the rest out of the WH.
If the WH thought they could hold the affair over Petraeus’s head, they may have gotten a little careless and overreached.
3. Petraeus is just another opportunist who loved the power and the money and the fame and glory. He got caught with his pants down and now his world is crashing down and he is trying to salvage what he can.
I pray that either 1 or 2 is true, and not 3.
Consider for a moment the power Petraeus has had as CIA director. Do you suppose he might have used some of that power to satisfy his curiosity about the President? I would have! Under the guise of quashing rumors and leaks, he could have been asking questions in Kenya, Indonesia, or wherever the trail led. (Not saying he was born in Kenya, but not convinced it was Hawaii either. BC is bogus.) The CIA isn’t allowed to do much on US soil, but there are plenty of places in the world where Zippy has left footprints.
