We also know that *****Eric Cantor**** told AG Eric Holder and FBI director Robert Mueller about the claim and Mueller began an investigation of Petraeus in the Summer of 2012 before the Benghazi attack in September.
However, we also know that neither Holder nor Mueller (nor Cantor) informed anyone in congress this investigation of Petraeus was taking place. That investigation included Broadwell turning over her computer to the FBI in the same summer, and later a search of her home which did reveal confidential information supposedly leaked from Petraeus.
Sometime in October of 2012 Director of National Intelligence ****James Clapper**** had a conversation with Petraeus urging him to leave.
Immediately after the election of 2012 CIA Director David Petraeus resigned (Nov 9th) and interim CIA Director Mike Morrel took over. This is why Petraeus never testified to the Senate, and Morrel took his place.
Another Clinton strategy: conflate personal scandals around the REAL national defense scandals, a.k.a. SQUIRREL!!
I really can’t talk about Petraeus, but I do know he was the first official on the ground after the attack. Won’t say any more, other than his appointment was not coincidental.
