Breaking now.

[LittleSpotBlog]

Maybe he was banging Shrillary.

[SueRae]

How many directors does that make in the last 10-15 years? Talk about turnover. Very sad.

[advance_copy]

What do you think it is?

[HOYA97]

Imagine if this story and the Drone being shot at were actually reported on last week before the election. Where would we be now???

[GOPJ]

Yeah, right.

[dinoparty]

Could be, but it also could be that he decided he would rather come clean to his wife and family than continue to be blackmailed.

[dfwgator]

Wonder if he already has his lobbyist gig lined up?

[GlockThe Vote]

Correct - resigning over this is probably a lot nicer and easier than the scandal w Benghazi he knows is coming.

Obama’s did not even start his second term and the rats are already fleeing.

[Qwackertoo]

I even said to my husband before the election “wonder what they have on him?” now we know.

[GeronL]

He is one of those who blamed the video for Benghazi

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

How come all those leaving Team Zero were involved in BenghaziGate? Gosh, what a coincidence!

[Paladin2]

"Getting out ahead of the collapse, Smart."

Why did he volunteer to support Zer0 in the first place?

[COBOL2Java]

Making room for the new CIA Director...

[jwalsh07]

He’s been hanging with the Secret Service. :-}

Nobody saw it coming and nobody believes he’s resigning because of an extra marital affair.That kind of crap just gets you props on the left.

[jazusamo]

That looks like a possibility but for sure he wants much distance from this Benghazi/Obama fiasco.

[dinoparty]

He has been blackmailed to keep quiet about Benghazi and other things, and he decided he owes it to his country to come clean even if it harms his marriage.

When I was in the Army ,I heard that Generals from all over the world got together one week a year and it was nothing but Booze and Hookers

[GOPJ]

So this is what Obama had on him to make him go along with the Bengazi cover-up!

I'm betting he had more... This is probably a gift for keeping his mouth shut. Will the next CIA Chief be Russian or Chinese? Maybe Arab?

[mulder1]

I believe we are going to see what would have happened to the U.S. if Jimmy Carter was reelected. THEY SHOULD HAVE WATCHED 2016!! The first steps toward the weakening of the United States of America have begun.
