I would bet the WH is blackmailing these people. By the exposure of Petraeus, it also exposes those things that don’t seem to make a lot of sense in the last few years.
Like the Roberts decision.
I wonder if Boehner is being blackmailed? Food for thought.
I tend to think/believe that most if not all of the people at high levels in Fed government, especially congresspersons, are very likely prone to scandal.
