Comey has been withholding documents on HR McMaster's illegal contact and sharing of classified information with Patreus.

We bought & paid for this government. Youse guys are toast.

More than two years after he resigned as director of the CIA, it's more likely than ever that General Petraeus will be the subject of a federal indictment. Today, The New York Times is reporting that the FBI and Justice Department have recommended felony charges against the General for leaking classified information to his mistress, Paula Broadwell. Petraeus hasn't commented on the charges, but has apparently told the Justice Department that he has no interest in a plea deal. It's up to Attorney General Holder whether or not the government presses charges against Petraeus, but if it does, the result...

Former CIA Director David Petraeus has agreed to testify about the Libya terror attack before the House and Senate intelligence committees, Fox News has learned.

What is it with General David Petraeus, head of U.S. forces in Afghanistan? Has he not heard of the Constitution? Let me explain what I mean. Now we are at the nine-year anniversary of the horrible 9/11 terrorism that killed over 3,000 Americans. Various people are marking the event's anniversary in various ways. One of the kookier ways is that a small church in Gainesville, Florida is hosting -- or is planning to host -- a burning of the Islamic Holy Book, the Koran. The burning, a nutty idea, is to protest the church's views of Islam as intolerant.This is...

Twenty-three percent (23%) of Americans approve of an ad run in the New York Times “that referred to General Petraeus as General Betray Us.” A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 58% disapproved. Those figures include 12% who Strongly Approve and 42% who Strongly Disapprove. Self-identified liberals were evenly divided—45% approve and 39% disapprove. However, only 19% of moderate voters approve while 62% disapprove. Forty-seven percent (47%) of all adults say that “stunts like the MoveOn.org ad” hurt the cause they believe in. Only 12% believe they help the cause while 17% say there is no impact. Twenty-four percent...

I arrived in Baghdad in mid-March to work on electricity issues, just as Gen. David Petraeus returned to Iraq to lead the "surge," of which he is the prime architect. But my sense of identification with the commander of the Multi-National Force-Iraq goes beyond that. To most people Petraeus is a four-star general, an experienced combat veteran and the consummate military officer. But when I pass him in a hallway of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, I have to catch myself from blurting, "Good morning, Dr. Petraeus." Like me, Petraeus has a doctorate in political science, his from Princeton, mine...

General Petraeus sent out a letter to all the troops under his command. It is very much well worth your time to read it, which you can do so here. In part, Gen. Petraeus writes: I also want you to be aware of my recognition that our focus on securing the population means that many of you will live in the neighborhoods you're securing. That is, in fact, the right way to secure the population - and it means that you will, in some cases, operate in more austere conditions that you did before we adjusted our mission and focus....
