I don’t get it....How does this get him out of testifying about Benghazi?
It doesn't. It only delays him doing so this Thursday but he may be subpoened to come before the committee if and when they see fit.
Fox news said something about blackmail. I wonder if the White House knew about this before the election and was pressuring him to wait till after the election forcing him to stick to the videotape story. /Tin Foil Hat
“I don’t get it....How does this get him out of testifying about Benghazi?”
It shouldn’t but in national politics resigning apparently makes you immune. Pigsley, if you and I were running a solar panel company and were accused of stealing a half billion, resigning would NOT get us out of that first meeting with a judge.
But if a politician resigns, especially a dem politician, apparently he’s off the hook. When I’m in charge that will change believe me.
It doesn’t.
It merely means that Petreus will not be testifying as CIA chief next week, as was originally planned. The interim director will do that in his place.
There is nothing, as far as I know, to keep Petreus from testifying as a private citizen with knowledge of the issue. Or Congress could subpoena him.

It shouldn’t and wouldn’t with any of the rest of us with top secret clearances caught sleeping with a mediot with some classified pillow talk pre and post coital.
$inator Fineswine, immediately said that P wouldn’t be called up, after he resigned.
B$ $inator. If that applied across the board, anyone leaking classified data, could sleep with a mediot ho, resign and confess to the adultry to avoid testifying.
