Petraeus held the top post both at DOD and then at the CIA —I could have that order reversed.
He switched from one role to the next RIIIGHT BEFORE Benghazi.
DOD was wholly unaware of the large-scale missile transfer op there —Petraeus had to be read into the program rather far along after it had already begun.
It is POSSIBLE that these charges are being conjured up to serve as leverage in residual Benghazi fallout.
I don’t know all the details, but with THIS Admin, when there is the tiniest whiff of smoke you can be sure there is a whole lot MORE smoke, and probably fire.
I don’t especially like the man and what he did was wrong —fine.
I THINK THERE IS MORE TO THIS.
Petraeus has been raking it in on several do-nothing Warbucks Inc corporate boards.
If he had any honor, he would have already done a Colonel Hackworth on Meet the Press.
Yes, he’s being punished, the take-away is the unhappy tippy canoe of the status quo “understanding” is being tipped over and there will be more to come.
He should have written his book about his betrayal by Team Obama, DeputyDCIA Mike Morrel (now at CBS as a “consultant”) and all of the rest. He knows what happened at Benghazi, and it saddens me that he’s just been satisfied to rake in millions in do-nothing board directorships.
His honor is 100% at stake, if he has any left.
There’s got to be much more to this- the two sisters of Lebanese descent with the overseas ties that the press loves to ignore seem to be escaping any scrutiny.
