Occams Razor: 2012s General Allens quiet disappearance, is 2014s political leverage to use General Allen as the tool needed to present the image of Obamas fight against ISIS.
This analysis misses a piece
Allen was cleared of misconduct in early 2013.
He was already a 4-star with 37 years of service and just short of 60 years old at retirement.
So he was near the end of his career anyway, so they couldn't wreck that.
Where's the leverage ?

Knew John Allen as a 2LT. Didn’t like him then as he seemed to not have much of a “moral compass.” Did not work with him after TBS. He is a smart guy and I know some who liked him, but he apparently has gone completely to the dark side.

I must be thick because I read the whole thing and I dont understand how bringing Allen out of retirement plays into PetraeusBroadwell or Benghazi. What is the leverage the author is talking about? Thank You! Me neither.

I agree. I just don’t see the “leverage.” It may have been there, but not adequately explained by the author.
To: DarthVader
"20,000 to 30,000 pages of emails and other documents from Allens communications with Kelley between 2010 and 2012"
There is something seriously insane going on here with Allen. How can there be so many pages of "emails and other documents" just relating to Allen and Jill Kelley over a 2-3 year period?? This case is totally bizarro.

Article loses its focus and never explains the “leverage”.... maybe author thinks it’s obvious but no, it needs some sorting out. Is it that Obama brought Allen back because they held blackmail information over his head, so he could be controlled??? That may be what’s insinuated, but it ought to be spelled out.

But almost everyone I have met in the last 30 yeasr (sic) from the officer corps was a complete liberal.Speaking as a commissioned officer for the last 30 years, it would appear by your comment that you have met very few officers. My experience while serving is that few officers could be classified as "liberal".

FBI seizes data of retired general related to Qatar lobbying effort
Just the News ^ | 6/8/22 | Sophie Mann

Retired four-star Marine Gen. John Allen, is on administrative leave from his role as president of the Brookings Institute D.C. think tank after the FBI seized his electronic data on suspicion of lying to investigators and withholding evidence about his role in secretly lobbying for the government of Qatar.
As a general, he commanded all U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan in the Obama administration....
