I thought maybe it was his wife (Holly, a government employee in DC) but evidently not. How many women was he carrying on with? He doesn’t look like a stud muffin, but power and the challenge of (theoretical)unattainability seem to be a major aphrodisiac for many women.
Still, this was all clearly set up as the Obama October Surprise because Bambi & Co. assumed Petraeus was going to be the VP nominee.
However, it didn’t work out that way, so they were able to have this revelation and his resignation postponed till after the election, also hoping that this would keep him from testifying on Benghazi.
Petraeus strikes me as very loyal to whoever is in charge at a given moment, so I don’t think he’s going to do anything that might damage Bambi now. However, I don’t think he’d lie under oath. So he’ll fade into the twilight, which Obama will be only too happy to let him do.
“hoping that this would keep him from testifying on Benghazi.”
Can’t congress subpoena him whether he is holding an office or not?
I’m not sure how leaking this would stop the hearing. They can’t use this as blackmail — he is already out. I wonder if the Obama goons have more on him?
posted 7 before I saw your 6. GMTA, lol.
Michael Morell is going to testify in Petraeus’ place this week. He can obfuscate in all kinds of ways.
And even if they get Petraeus to testify in the future, he can’t reveal classified info, from what I have read. In other words, his testimony will be more limited than it otherwise would have been.
Women are attracted to power. Not stud muffins.
