Like I'm surprised.
Bush lied then, it is from 2008.
All you have to do is remember that during the few last years numerous high ranking military officers have been purged. Where do you think this information came from? Do you think the subordinates came forward on their own.
I would suggest that the subordinates were probably recruited using evidence uncovered from targeted officers.
Petraeus is a perfect example. Despite all the efforts of his girlfriend to go undetected, they matched credit card records, email, and phone call metadata to zero in on them.
They wanted him out, so they found evidence to remove him. The thought police rule. That’s how this works.
