The timeline is intriguing.
Investors Business Daily muses that the administration may have used their discovery of the Petraeus affair as leverage for false testimony before Congress.
What say you, dear reader?
Krauthammer agrees with INVESTORS.
ReplyDeletePetraeus thought he, his secret, and his career were safe by covering for Team Zero - thus, he lied. Hahaha - they pulled the rug out from under him.
Perhaps he'll now tell the truth.
Can't lose much more.
Maybe he'll even regain some self-respect.
What's with Eric Cantor?
Yep, the WH (Axelrod has a history of manipulating infidelity to Obama's advantage) blackmailed Petraeus to get him to lie to Congress. Then, when the Benghazi coverup fell apart, and Petraeus conducted his personal investigation, the whole house of cards was to crash at the next Petraeus hearing before Congress. The WH fired Petraeus and made public his failings. This helps the WH because Petreaus may testify but he now has diminished credibility and does not have access to his former files to testify accurately. It also helps the WH by sending a message to anyone else who can testify to things that embarass the WH. They can destroy the Director of the CIA so anyone even thinking of telling the truth better understand they will be crushed. Finally, it helps the WH because it will now fill the open slot with a sycophant toady. Finally, the story is now complex and involves sex so the average democratic party voter will never be capable of understanding it - except for the part about sex.
