Makes sense. I don't see the advantage to the White House leaking the affair after the election. Petraeus' testimony on Benghazi should get a lot more attention now. I think they'd much rather be talking about the "fiscal cliff" more than anything related to Benghazi.
But, it doesn't really matter now politically. They kept the lid on it before the election and no matter what happened in Benghazi, it can't harm Obama politically. It could possibly create some baggage for Hillary in 2016, but doubtful any Democrat or swing voters will remember or care then.

If the facts remain as we think they are, treasonous offenses occurred, BUT see post #118 on stove-piping.
