Ok. I have read a little about this. Now I am more enlightened.
Maybe the GOP house will get to the bottom of it. Although, I am predicting
they won’t. Bonehead and Cantor are working on another Grand Bargain
with Obama. Can’t let a little gun running and few murders of Americans
interfere with that.

I think he was being blackmailed, and rather than continue the charade, he decided to come clean with the personal dirt they were lording over him. Now team obama has no leverage, and Patraeus may be of a mind to spill the beans as payback.

But as other posters pointed out, he will need to watch his back if he goes ahead with the Congressional testimoy as he could end up being Fostered/Ron Browned or conversely suffer a timely and oh-so-convenient heart attack like Breitbart.
