“The informant was brought to Cantor’s attention by Rep. David Reichert (R-Wash.). Reichert declined to comment on his role in the scandal.”

But why did Reichert go to Cantor? Maybe he doesn’t trust Boehner? Or maybe Boehner was on the golf course? Under his desk with a friend? Passed out?
And why did everybody let this ride until after the election? This chit gets more hinky by the minute!
What makes no sense is that the “FBI whistle-blower” went to cantor with the info, and then Cantor took the info and passed it on to... the FBI!... Which obviously already knew about it. WTF? It is almost as if Cantor’s purpose in going to the FBI Director was to let him know he had a whistle-blower on his hands.

I can remember when FReepers were shouting the praises for the General. After all Ike had an affair too. So did Newt, so maybe Cantor didn’t quite know what to do with the information given the General’s past popularity.
