If Petraeus fabricated this affair so he could have an excuse for resigning, he would have been better off announcing that he had been having an affair with Barney Frank. He’d be at the top of the Democratic ticket in 2016 if that had been the case.
I’m saying he may have been ejected for being the enemy.. fooled the rats.
If he was being blackmailed with this Broadwell affair into silence about Bengazzi, then there is now nothing further to blackmail him with. The affair is now out of the bag and he has resigned as CIA Director. So he is now free to testify truthfully about Bengazzi.
And Barney would be on the bottom, I'm sure.
