This whole thing stinks! The FBI was spying and reading the CIA director’s email that they “just happened” to come across???? Think about it! Very strange!
They want to bring him down and tarnish his reputation because Petraeus IS widely respected and admired. That was when and if he does testify and come clean about this Benghazi mess, they can discredit him.
Makes you wonder IF this woman was part of the plan??????
He knows..............he needed to go, he didn’t keep himself clean or he was seduced. Here is where they had him. Cleanup all the loose ends. Many elected officials who were suppose to be on our side Im sure are being held in an agreeable position because of this tactic.
I suspect the FBI was looking at some bits of classified info appearing in a NY Times article, by the junior-journalist involved. They looked at her background....saw Patraeus and went to ask him what his current connection is to her. He probably sensed some massive investigation going on, and admitted what he had been doing...strictly hot passion, no talk. Then they asked to look at his private email situation, and found that she was hacking into his personal email account (Yahoo can tell you from what region you are loggin in from easily). The general at that point suddenly realized that she was literally screwing him in more ways than one. I think the General did the practical thing left....quit.
The curious thing is that he had some political aspirations. Now? I don’t think he will ever run for anything. He will simply retire from the public and live on some ranch out west.
The FBI knew about his affair long ago. Pretending they just found out about his emails is BS. If there even WERE emails to the skank.
I have a hard time believing Gen P is that stupid.
This whole administration stinks. They knew everything this guy did before he was ask to take charge of the CIA. They have info (secrets) on everyone they are envolved with including the senators, congressmen and Supreme court judges.
They were worried about someone blackmailing him because of his affair. Exactly, what are they doing right now.
I thought the same thing however, read yesterday that there was a breach of security on the Gernal’s computer which prompted them to check it out which resulted in them finding a cache of emails revealing the affair.
