Is it just me? Fox seems to be avoiding the big elephant in the room.
Betrayus testified before congress that the video caused Bengazi,
just like the other hacks in the Obama administration.

My first thought after hearing about Betrayus affair is that Obama was
Blackmailing Betrayus to toe the party line before the election.
And once Obama used him through the election, he exposed Betrayus
So he would resign and not testify next week. That was my first thought.

This is exactly what I thought of at first when I heard it. How I so hope that Petraeus outted himself and decided not to play along with these guys and come clean. Even if it means losing his pension and what ever else! If he revealed the truth about what happened in that situation room and who gave the orders Not to save the lives of those 4 men that would be pretty powerful testimony.

Aside from Benghazi I strongly suspect he didn't begin his affair on Tuesday and end it on Thursday.

I read another report that said the affair was ended in September of 2011, BEFORE he became CIA Director.

"Petraeus outed himself and resigned just to take all that leverage away from them."

That's the way it sounded initially, but the MSM is in overdrive mode with stories about FBI investigations, him using agency email to constantly try to contact her after she broke it off, etc., etc.

You're actually making my point.

The MSM stories have been flooding the airwaves after Petraeus resigned and it no longer makes any difference who was investigating whom, when these investigations were ongoing, etc.

He's gone from Washington, and nothing they put out there is going to have any effect on him other than to damage his reputation -- which he obviously wasn't terribly concerned about in the first place (if the MSM reports are accurate).

Petraeus would have known for a while that he was in trouble. He would also have known that Obama had this hanging over his head. Yes adultery can be punished in the military. I believe they can call Petraeus back to Active Duty to question and punish him. That is the key. Look to see if they call him back to Active Duty or if the spokesman mentions calling him back to Active Duty at a press briefing.

Well the silver lining is the MSM has woken up.

They smell a chance to pin this on a Republican. They will find Benghazi VERY important NOW. The Washington Post and New York Times - after being quiet for months will be ready to jump. It's got LEGS. We're gonna run with this baby - flood that zone boys. It's real - there's Republican blood in the water... They're ready to ride - the friggin' phony high horses are ready and waiting.

I doubt it

If he had any integrity Obama wouldn't have appointed him in the first place --he is like Colin Powell--NO HONOR WHATSOEVER

I agree. This is the way Adolph Axelrod operates. He’s big on digging up the sex stuff on people.

This was a preemptive strike by the administration to stifle Benghazigate.

Which would have meant that the FBI investigation would have been included in any background check that was done when he was appointed to the CIA directorship, right?

It's a good thing that post is not terribly sensitive these days. I mean, when you've got that fat butch from Arizona serving as the Homeland Security Director, who would take any of them seriously?

Is there anything in this administration that isn’t suspicious? These people can’t even get out of bed in the morning without arousing some controversy. The air of corruption surrounding Washington is very thick.

“part of a plan to stop Petraeus from testifying about Benghazigate? “

Question: can’t Congress subpoena him anyway? Just because he resigned doesn’t mean his can’t be ordered to testify — right?

Also, watch to see if DAIG, Department of the Army Inspector General, gets involved. Could also be investigated by Military Police, but since it’s about an affair, more likely DAIG. That would mean they’re looking at possibly getting him or they are threatening him. If they do nothing, that is also a message. That would be a reward from Obama. I really don’t know much about or even if there is a Department of Defense Inspector General. I would think so. Panetta and Dempsey will be players.

I didn't mean to suggest that it was an honorable move. I meant that he did it to extricate himself from an untenable situation.

David Petraeus is a free man today. He wasn't a free man yesterday, was he?
