Petraeus Pecker Politics or Benghazi Fall Guy?

By now, unless your TV, radio or computer is on the fritz, you heard that CIA Director David Petraeus resigned for diddling his biographer, Paula Broadwell. Her ironically titled book, “ALL IN,” probably should have been renamed, “ALL THE WAY IN.” But this is a sideshow.

The story is confusing and conflicting. First, we are informed that the FBI was investigating Broadwell for illegally accessing the CIA Director’s email accounts. Since she was the authorized biographer, that seems a bit strange. And how did the FBI learn that she was “illegally accessing” Petraeus’ email? That is very curious.

Second, we are told that the FBI was investigating Petraeus? For what? Leaking intel to David Ignatius? Seems very odd.

The story is circulating that the White House had this dirt on Petraeus and tried to use it to pressure him to keep mum on the Benghazi failure or take the blame. Petraeus, not willing surrender to this threat, reportedly took the pre-emptive step of outing himself and resigning.

What is the Benghazi secret the White House is trying to hide?

Was the activity at the Annex was not an authorized, covert intelligence operation? The word is circulating among retired CIA officers that it was not. Legally, the President must produce a finding to run a cover operation (please see USC › Title 50 › Chapter 15 › Subchapter III › § 413b 50 USC § 413b – Presidential approval and reporting of covert actions).

What if the White House was involved in an off-the-books operation to gather and ship weapons to Syria for the Syrian rebels and was using a foreign firm to carry out the activity under the direction of the White House? Did Petraeus know about this? Was Petraeus being asked to take responsibility for this or cover it up?

Lots of unanswered questions. But one thing is certain–the story put out today about the reason for the Petraeus resignation is not the real story.

    Yeppers! You hit it.

    “All the way in..” LMFAO – you made me spew my red wine.

  • Malcolm_Reynolds

    Rep. Issa needs to subpoena Petraeus and get him to testify about Benghazi before he gets silenced by the WH.

  • jrterrier

    I hope to God that he refused to be blackmailed and is ready to tell the truth but only if subpoenaed. The reports as I’ve heard are that he has declined to testify (guess that he’s no longer employed he doesn’t have to absent a subpoena). Will the Senate Committee, controlled by the DEMS, be unwilling to subpoena him?

    The are trying to hide that the president went to sleep while the embassy burned, never gave any orders to rescue the Seals & they died?

    And conveniently, we’ve now stopped worrying about voter fraud.

    • DDDDSSSS

      Senator Feinstein has already stated he won’t be called to testify due to his resignation.

    • wylrae

      If Petraeus is the patriotic leader and honorable human being he we have been led to believe he is, he should step forward and tell what he knows about the Benghazi situation whether it be before some congressional panel or news interview. Telling if he were being pressured/blackmailed to be the fall guy might actually wake up one or two in the MSM; oh I know those like Matthews (the guy who pees his pants everytime 0zer0 speaks) will still bow down and worship to 0zer0. Think our military has for some time lacked enthusiasm serving 0zer0 as CinC and now our diplomatic corps (or is that corpse) is probably losing faith in his leadership and maybe even wondering if he/she will be the next sacrificed.

  • sassysyl

    When is Gloria Allred going to have a press conference with Paula so she can give her side of the story about how she was overpowered and seduced?

    What’s with these generals, demanding naked pictures, diddling their biographers? Who do they think they are, John Edwards?

    Whitehouse claims they were broadsided by Broadwell scandel.

    • http://www.facebook.com/sandy.rickett.96 Sandy Rickett

      Just like the Obama campaign was broadsided by the Edwards affair in 2008…..

  • HoosierinDixie

    Yes Larry there are lots of questions that just beg for answers and all the more reason to have Petraeus testify before Congress under oath. I notice the liberal press is quick to mention this affair has nothing to do with Benghazi and should be left between he and his wife. But in comparison, the Secret Service agents were not investigated for having sex with women other than their wives off duty but rather because those actions posed a possible threat to the security of the president. As head of the CIA, didn’t Petraeus’s action also pose a threat to the agency and possibly national security? Time to send the subpoena and find out.

    • mgm

      Anyone who believes that “this affair has nothing to do with Benghazi” is probably right. But anyone who believes that Petraeus’ resignation and the timing of it has nothing to do with Benghazi is smoking something too strong to be legal.
      You know, you can’t make this stuff up. I make my living writing mysteries and thrillers, and if I tried to foist a plot that relied on coincidence like this on my readers–Petraeus just happens to come to Jesus and resign a few days before he’s due to testify, but also a few days after a close national election–I’d deserve to go broke.
      Larry is, of course, right. There’s a real story in there somewhere, but the one we’re getting ain’t it.

      • HoosierinDixie

        Ordinarily I would agree with you about the affair but not if it was held over his head to get him to lie about what happened in Benghazi. In that case it would be relevant. Agree we are not getting the real story and not sure if we ever will.

        • mgm

          We might get some of it if he testifies under oath. Or not—if the hearings are held in private. In which case, you’re right–we’ll likely never know unless Petraeus is a more honorable man than we’re accustomed to and makes it public himself..

  • HARP2

    His CIA station chief was saying that terrorists were involved yet Petraeus comes out on Sept 14 and blames the video ?

    I`m not buying it.

    If he takes the rap for the video story then the White House is off the hook.

  • HARP2

    When did the White House know about this and how long did they let a compromised Director remain head of the CIA ?

    • Stopthemadness
      • HoosierinDixie

        Very interesting article. It kind of makes Petraeus out to be a stalker. The time line is interesting too because it suggests not only did the WH know, but that this affair was happening when he was in Afghanistan. Daily Caller claims this women is a married mother of two and also a Major in the Army Reserve. Isn’t there a rule about fraternizing with subordinates in the Army? Could he be prosecuted under military code for it?

        • piattq

          I think that rule is between officers/enlisted. But she would not have been a subordinate of Petraeus—she was not on active duty status. She was after a book. He was after something more interesting. Military men overseas having affairs? Yeah now that is different isn’t it.

          • HoosierinDixie

            I don’t know what the rule is and that is why I asked the questions hoping someone here with military background could shed some light on the subject. What is the rule? Does her “active” duty status matter? Could he be subject to disciplinary action under military code because of it? Could it be used as leverage against him with threat of losing a few stars or his pension? I am not naive as to think affairs among the troops don’t happen but I am also not naive to think the Obama team wouldn’t use it to their advantage if given the opportunity. But as Larry points out, this is not the real story for his resignation or what happened in Bengahzi. If they want to push this story, they should expect some push back and make him testify under oath before Congress.

            • piattq

              I think those questions are going to be addressed. But I do know the fraternization rule is between officers/enlisted. Probably sexual liaisons between direct line of command are also not allowed but she was not in his line of command. Adultery can be construed as “conduct unbecoming” for both her and him but doubt if that gets pushed to the limit since a whole lot of people would be in trouble over that one.

        • jodypear

          Has to be a subordinate in one’s own chain of command. I doubt she was in his chain of command

          • TeakWoodKite

            There were chains involved? Kinky.

            • DianaLC

              all you guys are at least giving me a chance to laugh a little with your funny comments. I haven’t really laughed for a long time.

          • bet0001970

            Plus, she was a reservist. If he hadn’t been married, depending on her rank, it probably would have been sanctioned.

            • HoosierinDixie

              Much thanks to you and Jodypear for the information. And if you are active or former military, I also thank you for your service to our country. I don’t care who he sleeps with either but I do care if this affair was used as blackmail or to further a cover up for Bengahzi. Those four dead Americans deserved better and so do the American public.

    • Retired_from_SPOnaj

      Petraeus never compromised. He told Broadbent to drop her drawers if she wanted a story, and she complied.

      • KenoshaMarge

        Guess the MSM aren’t the only presstitutes around.

      • TeakWoodKite

        Broadbent over?
        I am wondering if the woman is in any personal danger related to the knowledge of blackmail from the WH. Perhaps the emails in question are ones that have the threat in “writing”?

    • libertychicks1776@gmail.com

      The President of the US does not know that the head of the CIA is having an affair being investigated by the FBI? Riiiiiiiiiiiight!

    • piattq

      Right Harp. They appointed him to this post. Did they not have the FBI conduct the mandatory background check? If they did, did the FBI not discover and report this affair? If they did so report, did the WH not know and accept Petraeus with this fault? I’m sure he is not the first appointment to a top post with a compromised background and he will not be the last. Also, law requires an investigation of such a top level person for security violation to be reported to congressional intel committees. That did not happen? Why?

  • HARP2

    If they can prove enough shit on Obama he is not the next President yet.

    As I understand it,Electors chosen on Election Day meet in their respective state capitals (or in the case of Washington, D.C., within the District) on the Monday after the second Wednesday in December, at which time they cast their electoral votes on separate ballots for President and Vice President.

    They are free to vote whomever they wish.

      As much as I would love for there to be some sort of legal way to get rid of Obama now…can you imagine the civil war and riots that would erupt if the EC changed their votes? It’s horrible, but Obama just needs to play out his next term…it may be the only way the Obots will learn.

    PETRAEUS ON BENGHAZI: IT WASN’T ME
    Date-Oct 26.2012
    http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2012/10/26/Petraeus-on-Benghazi-It-Wasnt-Me

    I think the last paragraph of the story from
    Breitbart is it in a nutshell.
    i also believe you are 100% right LJ.
    The administration knew he would never lie
    under oath so discredit him now, force him out now.
    This is more then just a man cheating on his wife.

    Home run again LJ.

    • piattq

      Wait a minute; Petraeus is absolutely subject to subpoena. There is no way they can shut him down unless he chooses to shut down.

      • jrterrier

        He can’t even choose to shut down.

        I doubt that the Senate (controlled by DEMS) would subpoena him or immunize him were he to assert the 5th Amendment. But the House Committee
        (controlled by REPS) can grant him immunity were he to assert the 5th Amendment.

        • GreatGrany5

          Yes, but then we have the question: How long would David Petraeus live after the said subpoena is handed to him? Bodies seem to be laying all over and all we get from the bozo in the WH is yum talk.

              I cannot say whether these are “better times.” But I am loath to ascribe ‘moral’ behavior to one elected official or the other, solely on the basis of party affiliation.

              • DianaLC

                What I am saying is that many people now do not seem to hold the Constitutional and legal rules of our country in as high a regard as before. There is now apparently little outcry over many things things that in the past did bring the outrage that they did before–both from D’s and R’s.

                • TeakWoodKite

                  I am not sure one can hold anything in high regard if one is ignorant of the facts and / or willing and able to believe a lie. The average US citizen would not be able to pass a test for citizenship for the US…
                  The lack of basic civics knowledge of the Constitutional Republic we live in is staggering.

                  • DianaLC

                    Have to agree with you there, for sure. It’s not just civics knowledge that is lacking, it’s any sort of academic knowledge.

                    • TeakWoodKite

                      Oh contare mon amie. With the “acedemics” like Lawernce Tribe, Obama and his acedemic ilk there is pleanty of that.
                      What is lacking is a knowledge of experience.
                      At this point, I am wondering how much to stockpile.

                    • DianaLC

                      True about the experience, and I was referring to the knowldege when I said it was lacking. Just to use my field. Everyone who hasn’t really studied English, for example, and who was raised after the “education” departments decided that true grammar instruction was too confusing for students and allowed it to be forgotten in our public schools, we’ve raised up a nation of mentally illogical people. The interplay of syntax and structure is something everyone must be taught, or their brains are not molded to thinking logically. Syntax is the understanding of how sentence structures form complicated thoughts. Semantics is the study of meaning and how the meaning can be translated into structure. Most Americans’ brains have not been trained since the study of grammar was thrown out several decades ago. If you try to figure out what some students mean by what they write nowadays, it’s nothing but guess work.
                      Believe me, I have been sitting in a room of hundreds of mostly older folks scoring state writing and reading tests (where students have to construct an answer based on a reading passage). It is darned pitiful the answers we read, and what’s more pitiful is the way the states require that we score the answers–ignoring what is wrong and finding whatever “glimmer” of truth we can in their answers.
                      Nothing but old-fashioned grammar instruction trained my brain enought to be able to read and understand what I was reading. That’s why science instruction can fail. Students can’t really decipher their texts–the same for any academic field.

                    • TeakWoodKite

                      I quite agree. Spot on.

  • vinnie winkel

    If he is truly a man of uniform who signed up to protect America and its citizens, do the right thing now and tell the truth about Benghazi. If it’s true that this resignation is going to get him off the hook to testify, then we know he is this admin’s whipping boy and he is not deserving of that uniform.

    • Retired_from_SPOnaj

      Well, it would appear that Petraeus, by his own admission, has already had at least one discharge under less than honorable conditions.

      • DianaLC

        I am staying on this thread just to read your comments. My sides are hurting from laughing too hard.

  • BettsAZ

    Larry,
    Do you think that Petraeus would tell the truth if called to testify?

  • Retired_from_SPOnaj

    Considering the access that Broadbent was granting Petraeus, reciprocal access to a few email accounts seems only fair.

    • beachnan

      Oh my my Retired. Straight and to the point.

    I can’t help but wonder whether critics will re-evaluate their reviews of Broadbent’s book. Didn’t the NYT call it “Deeply penetrating?”

    • beachnan

      LOL! You are on a roll Retired!!!

  • HARP2

    The FBI investigation is seeing whether she had improper access to
    General Petraeus’ emails and may have had access to his … may have
    accidentally or deliberately had access to classified information. And
    so we know this investigation is taking place, and that it has
    identified Paula Broadwell.

    Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/fbi-david-petraeus-paula-broadwell-2012-11#ixzz2BnDm5SY4

    So when does she have to testify to Congress ?

    • mgm

      The article you cite also says: “The pair reportedly broke up some point after Petraeus become CIA Director, but he continued sending thousands of emails to her over the past few months.”

      Can we assume that’s what Petraeus really meant by his “poor judgment” statement? If so, he is being far too kind to himself. What kind of fool–who also happened to head our military–sends thousands of emails to his mistress and expects them to remain secret? And who then accepts the position of CIA Director and expects no one to notice and/or read these thousands of emails?

  • beachnan

    Too little, too late. If what you say is true, and it makes perfect sense, then this man, who was well regarded by many, has let the entire country down. He covered and lied for this White House, when it didn’t deserve it. Our President and his staff sat by and watched as our men were killed because it didn’t coincide with their campaign theme. Had he spoken up before the election, there is a good chance that Romney would have been elected. America deserved honesty and what we got were lies. He is no hero.

    • http://www.facebook.com/mary.cusack Mary Cusack

  • libertychicks1776@gmail.com

    Why was the FBI even looking at the head of the CIA’s emails? That is pretty off.

    • jrterrier

      I believe that FBI got a tip about the affair & were concerned about possible exposure to blackmail.

      • TeakWoodKite

        Would this not be kept in house at Langley?

      • mgm

        And/Or also saw it as an opportunity to blackmail Petraeus themelves if he should threaten to get out of line. This feels like the current situation, except that Petraeus turned the tables by ‘fessing up’ instead of paying up.

  • mgm

    Larry, according to the Subchapter you cited, specific Congressional committee members must be notified and kept appraised of Presidential covert actions such as the one you offer as an example. Did I read it correctly? In which case, there are either a number of Congressional members who know about the Benghazi particulars or Obama authorized it on his own and deliberately bypassed Congress (and Petraeus?). What’s your best guess?

    • jodypear

      Bypass, as usual.

  • akaPatience

    Larry, I suspected as much and logged on tonight to see if you had something to say about it. Of course there’s been the usual chatter — how dare he expose himself to blackmail due to the affair, and possibly compromise national security!?!?!? Yet it reportedly took place in Afghanistan, before Petraeus became CIA director! I wonder if in the WH’s view this was considered an asset — a handy tool to manipulate Petraeus if ever necessary. In other words, maybe the WH was a blackmailer, like you’ve suggested. It certainly seems that he did the WH’s bidding when he contradicted other intelligence reports that said the 9/11 attack was perpetrated by organized terrorists. Media’s knee-jerk disavowels that this revelation has nothing to do with Benghazi is sickening. Is there no limit to their complicity? Were those 4 men allowed to be murdered because dead men tell no tales?

    • piattq

      Even Petreaus would have to undergo a major security review for the position of CIA Director—which should include questions about skeletons in the closet. A routine denial becomes perjury. The biographer is a handsome, if not beautiful woman. No way this affair was not known to minions in Afghanistan.

      • sassysyl

        What Irony – Presidential candidates don’t have to undergo a major security review. What would a major security review have turned up back in 2008 on candidate Obama?

        • http://twitter.com/jbjdjbjd jbjd

          No, not ironic. We are responsible for electing the President, not for ‘hiring’ him. Nothing in the Constitution says, the President must be able to pass a security clearance required of the federal civil service.

          Clearly, many of us here were able to ‘uncover’ enough about Mr. Obama, including his contradictory life stories, so as to conclude, we did not trust him with the proverbial keys to the store. That others failed to note these myriad discrepancies in the Axelrod narrative speaks not to a need to shore up the system but to encourage our fellow citizens to do their homework, before voting. (And to fully understand the voting process…)

      • jrterrier

        In fact, Henry Cisneros, the former Mayor of San Antonio, was convicted of perjury when he lied during his background check for his appointment as HUD Secretary regarding an affair he had had & payments he was making or had made to the woman.
        But I imagine that the FBI went easy on any background check because of Petraeus’ stature.

    All that and possibly more. Why did Obama use the FBI in Benghazi? Was the Ambassador murdered for what he knew? Are top military being targeted and replaced? Is there a coup happening in America?

    • sassysyl

      Embassies and consulates are considered to be on US territory even though they are in a foreign country. Therefore the FBI is responsible for the investigation.

    • mgm

      Interesting–if in danger of being called a paranoid concept– since one of the military commanders involved (Ham?) has already been forced out for threatening to aid those under attack in Benghazi. I’ve been hoping Larry would have something to say about that.

The city dwellers will cave and Obama supporters will be his citizen army. Since Obama is or was head of the UN Security Council he has solidified that avenue too.

  • no_longer_a_democrat

    Mr. Johnson. It does not matter, Barry can commit any crime, with irrefutable proof, the MSM will cover him, lie for him, cheat for him, act as his surrogates, as they have been doing for the last 4 years.

    I no longer have any faith any of this will matter. When you have a pravada like Obot MSM, they control the narrative. They can commit any crime and know they will get away.

    If this was Bush, another story, for me, I used to think the press’s job was to keep whoever is in power in check, that no longer is the case. Instead of exposing coverups, they now participate in coverups. I include Hillary in this lot too, I used to admire and respect her, she part of this gutterscum at this point, covering up so that she can then run for office later.

    I have no faith in any dem, any press. I remember before the election, all these dems came on tv sayin, yes of course we will investigate after the election. I thought fat chance, I already saw how fast and furious went, you had the mother sitting there, congressional members like Cummings openly lie to her face saying we will get to the bottom of this, 1 year goes by and he leads the charge in when all the docs were claimed by executive privilege by Soetero.

    There can be video of Barry at the scene of the crime in Benghazi and the American Obot MSM will cover up for him. These dem and MSM people are driven by power, they have no integrity, no morals, nothing. Nothing will come of this.

    The people I feel for the most are the family member of those 4 americans murdered.

      My first thought after Obama was declared the winner was,
      ‘Now he will get away with Benghazi.’ But then, when I calmed down, I stopped blaming him for getting away with Benghazi, given the fact that, in our system of government, the Legislative branch is co-equal with the Executive branch. And I contacted my U.S. Representative and Senators, urging them to hold the President accountable for what went wrong.

      (I often have to resist the instinct to hold only the President responsible for this mess. After all, it was the Senate Watergate Committee’s demand for Nixon’s ‘tapes’ which reached the SCOTUS resulting in the decision, he had to hand them over. And, as you know, this is what led directly to his resignation.)

        I wish I had your belief that our government still has three functioning branches. And we all admit that we no longer have the “fourth estate.” This a different, neutered Congress at this point. The media will not allow the investigation to capture the public’s attention as it did during Nixon’s time.
        I have to agree with no_longer_a_ democrat. And I also am no longer a Democrat.

        • http://twitter.com/jbjdjbjd jbjd

          I am not saying, each branch of government functions as I wish it did. I am merely reminding even the most jaded of us; even if it appears that the President is ‘getting away with murder’ – he knew he didn’t call Benghazi “terrorism” on September 12, even though 60 Minutes suppressed the tape for the next 7 weeks – Congress still can get to the bottom of this. And, having failed to keep him out of office; we can still fight to reach the truth.

          If our government isn’t responsive to our needs; it’s because more of us have different needs.

          • DianaLC

            Regarding the Congress’s investigation into Fast and Furious–do you really believe we indeed got to the truth? And if you do think we did, did it matter to most people?

            • http://twitter.com/jbjdjbjd jbjd

              This is exactly what I am talking about. I think Congress’ investigation into F&F was a farce (inasmuch as it failed to result in prosecution); AND I believe most people couldn’t care less. But I think people would care, if they knew the details. The MSM does not provide such details; and so many people assume, if it was such a big deal, they would read about it in the press. (How many of us heard this all the time when we tried to tell people about Obama in 2008?) Most people don’t have the time and energy to conduct their own investigations or news gathering, given the struggle just to provide for themselves and their families.)

              That’s why these things keep happening. Less of us have the wherewithal to seek out the news.

              • DianaLC

                And that is why so many of us here have given up hope that anything will come from the Congressional investigation. Not only do private citizens not have the time or energy or will to keep themselves informed, the progressive Dems in power are involved now with a strategy of overpowering the system with one crisis after another that even Congress can’t keep up and is forced to choose the battles it wants to take on. Think about it. Each time something indicts Obama’s policies, and there is a threat of his losing favor of those idiot obots, something else comes up and turns attention away. And by the time we do get an investigation, it fizzles out and no body cares–as in the Fast and Furious thing. And think about the Obamacare ruling by the Supreme Court. Though Roberts ruled it a major Tax, did anyone get upset? Most were upset that it wasn’t overturned, as was I. However, no one took up the battle cry during the election. Romney said he’d overturn Obamacare, but he didn’t pound home to Obama the fact that he had ALREADY raised taxes and really caused major economic problems for the middle class down the road.
                At this point I have resigned myself to letting it all play out. It will be a mess, and my kids and grandchild will be the ones faced with the mess, but that’s what happens througout history. OR, it will get so bad so soon, that finally there will be an awakening and people WILL begin to push back.
                Everything is in the works already by the Dems in terms of people refusing to testify and I am sure Holder has something up his sleeve, just like his refusing documents during Fast and Furious.
                I never wanted to live through the history like that in Russia with the bolsheviks that caused my great-grandparents and grandparents to have to pick up and move to a different country, while other relatives remained and were sent to Siberia. But I fear it may someday be that way here for my descendants.

    No, boys and girls, that putrid stench you are smelling doesn’t stink. Nope, not at all. Nothing to see here folks. Just another macho pig thinking he could get away with having an affair with someone he worked with. Nothing more and nothing less. FBI investigating CIA? No biggie, happens all the time.

    What strikes me most about this amazing coincidence coming right after the election and right before Petraeus is supposed to testify under oath is that most of those in power act as if nothing out of the ordinary has happened.

    And I’ve either gone completely dumb or I could have sworn that the Pentagon just changed it’s story about Benghazi again so that it suddenly aligns with the lie Obama told. Mysteriously, Panetta now claims that military was sent to Libya in response to the attacks in Benghazi. They just didn’t arrive until 15 hours after the attacks were over. I don’t suppose that securing the Consulate or the Annex and gathering up classified documents was a part of their mission. Because that wouldn’t make any sense during the fog of war. Brain farts and all.

    Never mind that this new revelation directly contradicts what he had earlier stated. Maybe the “fog of war” has lifted and he just now remembered that he gave the order because Obama told him to. Sure, that must be it. And while we’re at it let’s also believe that Panetta or anyone else in the government had not the slightest indication that there was a security problem in Benghazi. Not a clue.

    Panetta said that based on a continuous evaluation of threats, military forces were spread around Europe and the Middle East to deal with a variety of missions. In the months before the attack, he noted, “several hundred reports were received indicating possible threats to U.S.
    facilities around the world” and noted that there was no advance notice of imminent threats to U.S. personnel or facilities in Benghazi.

    I don’t suppose that the previous attacks on the Consulate, the attempted assassination of the British Ambassador, the withdraw of the Red Cross and that memo received on August 16th gave any indication whatsoever.

        If the Benghazi situation and Petraeus’ resignation haven’t spewed over before winter I doubt we will be hearing much more about it. By winter unless there has been a fairly big uproar I imagine it will just be soar grape on the part of Republicans and swept under the rug by the MSM.

    Good article, Larry. I personally think it is the video. I believe the video was blamed on the terrorist attack and Petraeus knew and didn’t want to lie to Congress when approached with the questions. He probably has the names of the people involved with the coverup for the whitehouse. But, what does it matter? The american people don’t see evil when it comes to oBama. He is seen as a God. The only way he will be taken out of the whitehouse is not by school records, dual citizenship, libya’s failures, etc. etc. It will be a scandal concerning his lust . As Clinton, it will come to that shortly. Lust is too strong to overcome and the american people will see him as “what he really is” not some nice married man with two kids. Digging into his lust background and bringing his homosexual partners to light, would be his downfall. Most of the women that voted for him see OBama as a family man, a man of love, etc. etc. His downfall will be the things he is covering up with his lust.

  • Hokma

    One thing I learned about inside the beltway is that sexual explots including some very deviant ones are pervasive and not a secret. I guess it comes genetrally under the heading of “opposition research” and is not used unless and until necessary.

    People knew that Mark Foley was gay and had a proclivity to young male interns, but it was not revealed until it was suitable to do so. The sake with Anthony Weiner and his weird twitters until he publically rebuked Obama over his diss of Netanyahu. About a week or 2 later suddenly people found out of Weiner and he was forced to resign.

    I am certain that Axelrod/Jarret/Obama knew about Patraeus for quite some time and were going to use it to try and prevent him from testifying or making his testimony lose credibility. The same is being done with Holder to limit damage to Obama directly concerning Fast and Furious.

    This will unravel but it will take an aggressive House GOP to force the issue into articles of impeachment if that is warranted.

    Now we know why it took 20+ days for the FBI to get on the ground in Benghazi. They were too busy reading Petraeus’s sexy emails. Is there an Edwards type sex tape too?

  • sassysyl

    Did husband of woman named in Petraeus scandal reveal he knew of her affair to NYT advice column letter in July?

    “My wife is having an affair with a government executive. His role is to manage a project whose progress is seen worldwide as a demonstration of American leadership. (This might seem hyperbolic, but it is not an exaggeration.)

    I have met with him on several occasions, and he has been gracious. (I doubt if he is aware of my knowledge.) I have watched the affair intensify over the last year, and I have also benefited from his generosity.

    He is engaged in work that I am passionate about and is absolutely the right person for the job. I strongly feel that exposing the affair will create a major distraction that would adversely impact the success of an important effort.

    My issue: Should I acknowledge this affair and finally force closure? Should I suffer in silence for the next year or two for a project I feel must succeed?

    Should I be “true to my heart” and walk away from the entire miserable situation and put the episode behind me? NAME WITHHELD”

    Sad day for America. With all that was at stake in this election, we’ve been let down by Petraeus, whom we made into a hero & by the media for not pursuing & covering up the Lybia debacle.

  • TeakWoodKite

    So when the Times of London (late last year) reports that there was a ship with 400 tons of weaponry from Lybia to Syria via Turkey, who was the middle man in the “sale”? No doubt Turkey was because they were NATO weapons that killed innocents on the Turkish side of the border with Syria and the Turks were not retaliating.

    The SOS was out there, two weeks before the election, saying there will be a “realigning” of the groups the US is “dealing” with a desire to have relations with the jihadists on the ground instead of Syrians in London in exile.

    My working theory is the rise in violence culminating in the deaths of 4 Americans was a weapons deal gone bad. The compound was a waypoint for the arms and word got out that was where the weapons were stored. The RSO said that the compound, 3 football fields in size, was to big to defend properly. If you where on the recieving end of all these arms and then the Supplier broke the terms of the agreement….which was leaked after the Turkish amb left the compound …

    LJ, what the WH is hiding is the company it keeps and where the diversion of the proceeds went from the sale of these arms… Me thinks into BO’s re-election funds.

      First, thank you for all the excellent links you provided throughout the election.
      Second, I have to say that I feel as you do, that this was indeed a stolen election and that again O was ‘selected” rather than elected. But, I’ve become resigned to the horrible situation. Until things start biting some of the libs themselves in theit butts–which will happen, but probably later than it will happen eventually–they’re getting away with whatever they want to get away with.
      I am still so very saddened that we could have had such an honorable man and hard-working man and intelligent and knowlegeable man in the WH. It boggles my mind that our country has got to the point it is today.

              You know that the truth is out there, but often people don’t want to see it. There have been many leaders who didn’t get caught until they finally got caught and then went down in infamy. This story hasn’t been completely told yet. I just hope you are around when all Obama’s dirty laundry is finally out there. You might be on your death bed by then, but the truth will always out eventually. So if you think you have a lock on the truth now, I pity you.
              Larry bases his statements on information he has, and just because the media and powers that be keep some of the information from being verified doesn’t mean it was wrong information.

              • YvonneofNC

                  And i do hope someday you will see it, but my opinion is that you are the type of person who would think that whatever was said on that tape is just fine anyway, so why should you worry?
                  One thing that Mechelle did say that was actually recorded is that Obama never did anything to deserve being elected as President. I’ll accept that as enough truth.

                  • YvonneofNC

                    Does that mean you haven’t seen the Whitey tape?

                    • DianaLC

                      I have seen earlier clips of MEchelle speaking at the “God Damn America” place calling itself a Christian church. I have read her Master’s thesis before it was scrubbed from the internet. Whether I see it or not, the idea that it might be out there rings absolutely true to the way she deports herself. I don’t need to see the “white” tape, because the proof for it was all the people claiming that what she really said was “Why’d he?” That’s enough for me to understand that enough of her defenders were themselves worried that it existed. If her behavior had not been as it has been, I would have begun to believe that it didn’t exist. But, I’ve come to believe it’s been scrubbed from public view just as her and her husband’s school records–including those that probably listed O as a foreign student–have been scrubbed. So much for a transparent politician.
                      Now go away and continue to nurse your hatred of whitey and leave us alone. I will not respond to you again, as there are no brain cells left in your head for logical thinking and only those that feed hatred.

    Now this: Despite laws that require certain committee chaies to be given notice of an investigation, “Senate/House Intelligence Kept in Dark on Petraeus Investigation” http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2012/11/10/Senate-House-Intelligence-Keep-In-Dark-That-Petraeus-Would-Be-Stepping-Down?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
    People need to be held accountable.

    Friday night dump: “Pentagon releases Benghazi timeline: took 19 hours to respond”

    http://hotair.com/archives/2012/11/10/pentagon-releases-benghazi-timeline-took-19-hours-to-respond/

    Now that we know that Petraeus was otherwise distracted, what’s the Pentagon’s excuse? Are there no honorable men and women anywhere? Et tu Pentagon?

      nope

    The Petraeus resignation raises all sorts of new questions he can answer, but will he?

    How do they (not just Obama) get people to make the crazy irresponsible statements that get made? Before this Patraeus episode erupted (so to speak) I have said it must be like working for The Firm.

    Those pulling the stings must be getting, even creating damning interludes and evidence to blackmail the their pawns into doing their bidding.

    With all the drunken bashes the Secret Service and friends throw, what traps have they set and what other tales do they now have to tell? Yeah, it is classic old school spy stuff, but people like Patraeus and Powell are just as human and fallable as the worst among us because they also have orders of magnitude more hubris and ego.

    I belive the Clinton’s found the dirt on Obama. But when they presented it to him, Obama opened his own Clinton Dirt drawers. Stalemate.

    Is the leadership of the US stacked with manipulated blackmailed members? It would sure explain a lot.

    What is needed to expose Benghazi and Obama to the level of a watergate is a press that is willing to investigate. The Washington post and new York times are both jokes now. The politicians can be moved by public opinion to investigate. Public opinion can be moved by the media. If no one In the media has any ovaries or balls… We don’t get much in the way of results

    Petreaus is a distraction. Look at this out of St Lucie County, FL. And thankfully because Allen West is losing the election, he’s pursuing it.

    “On Tuesday only one precinct had less than 113% turnout. “The Unofficial vote count is 175,554 registered voters 247,713 vote cards cast (141.10% ). The National SEAL Museum, a St. Lucie county polling place, had 158.85% voter turn out, the highest in the county.”

    “The Supervisor of Elections, Gertrude Walker, had this to say concerning the 141% voter turnout: “They may have had something like that in Palm Beach County, but we’ve never seen that here.”

    Interesting interview of KT McFarland (held national security posts in the Nixon, Ford and Reagan Administrations), regarding Petreaus. She says when she was in Afghanistan & interviewed Petreaus, there were definitely rumors about Petreaus & Broadwell. Her opinion is that Petreaus is in a position of power at this point and not cowering.

    She believes that when he became CIA director, he would have been polygraphed & one of the first questions is the obligatory — anything in your background that would be embarrassing? She believes he would have answered truthfully (disclosing the affair) & his file would have gone to the White House.

    Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence Michael Vickers is another name being bandied about.

    This guy has been around the block, any takers for CIA head?

    In order for a government email account to be accessed the person would need that users Common Access Card (CAC) and pin (note, if CAC is removed from CAC reader the computer system locks the user until CAC is reinserted and pin re-entered). Many corporations use a similar type of authentication system. For one, I highly doubt many attributes of the alleged story. It would seem more likely that Petraus decided to tell the truth about Benghazi, thus facilitating the events of forced resignation. In the past few months many high ranking career military officers have been removed from their assignments over alleged sexual improprieties. Seems kind of odd. Add in the high likeliness that the entire election was a fabricated event, complete with a complicit media. Some media outlets had ran “Obama Wins Election” complete with strikingly similar results, right down to the Red vs. Blue state breakdown.

      True dat!!

    My comment when the General retired and accepted a political appointment from Obama was that this administration would destroy a Hero and ruin a very good man. Now lets see if General Petraeus is going to fight back. I sure hope so.

    A good article questioning FBI addressing the cyber-harassment so quickly…and more on the FBI whistleblower and a timeline…”Orin S. Kerr, a George Washington University law professor who specializes in computer crime issues, said it was “surprising that they would devote the resources” to investigating who was behind a half-dozen harassing e-mails. ” http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/13/us/timeline-shows-fbi-discovered-petraeus-affair-in-summer.html?_r=0

      “Later, the agent became convinced — incorrectly, officials say — that
      the case had stalled. Because of his “worldview,” as the official put
      it, he suspected a politically motivated cover-up to protect President
      Obama. The agent alerted Eric Cantor, the House majority leader, who
      called the F.B.I. director, Robert S. Mueller III, on Oct. 31 to tell
      him of the agent’s concerns.”
      Worldview likely means he was not a Democrat.
