Do folks understand that this is totally f'in NSANE? The first problem is that this whistle blower leaked sensitive investigative information to Congress for political purposes. How about we have the FBI go through your life and report your teen-age antics to your congressman for further processing? This is why we have laws against this sort of thing. Short of actual criminal evidence or evidence of a genuine security compromise, this kind of investigative information should have gone absolutely nowhere and this idiot needs to go to jail. This is not whistle-blowing. This is leaking sensitive personal information that is frankly none of anyone else's business.

Actually the 'first' problem is Petraeus placed himself in a compromised situation. Then poop started flowing downhill. It seemed to me obvious why Cantor went directly to the Director of the FBI. We sure are not going to be hearing about that investigation until it is completed, well, at least not by the adults left working for US.

I’m sure the CIA knew about his affair, he would have had gone through a rigorous background investigation to include a complete lifestyle polygraph. If this woman was found to not be a foreign intelligence agent or receiving classified information they probably ignored it. Given that this affair ended sometime ago - they probably just regarded it as a personal problem. The question is, why was the FBI investigating thin air reports of harassing e-mails? Who gave them authorization to hack into e-mails and conduct surveillance based off of little to no evidence of criminal wrongdoing or classified information negligence? Isn’t there a FISA court for a reason?
