King on Petraeus scandal: This is a “crisis of major proportions”

posted at 12:11 pm on November 12, 2012 by Erika Johnsen

On MSNBC this morning, Rep. Peter King, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee and member of the Intelligence Committee, discussed the sketchy timeline of the events leading up to David Petraeus’ resignation as head of the CIA and the questions that Congress is still looking to get answered.

Joe Scarborough for one is skeptical about the proffered narrative, to say the least.

KING: I don’t know how this rises to the level of an FBI investigation. … Once the FBI realized that it was investigating the director of the CIA or the CIA director had come within its focus or its scope, I believe at that time they had an absolute obligation to tell the president. Not to protect David Petraeus, but to protect the president. … The fact is he is a key part of the president’s foreign policy team, maybe more than any other CIA director in recent times. … And to have someone out there in such a sensitive position who the FBI thought perhaps could have been compromised or was under the scope of an FBI investigation who may or may not have been having an affair at the time, that to me had to have been brought to the president or certainly to the National Security Council. If not, the FBI was derelict in its duty.

SCARBOROUGH: Peter, it is mind-blowing to think that the director of the FBI knew about this from the summer, has almost daily contacts with the president of the United States, knows that the man who’s entrusted to, in effect, run the War on Terror, may be compromised? And he doesn’t say anything to the president of the United States for months? Somebody needs to be fired here. This is ridiculous.

KING: This is a crisis, I believe, of major proportions. … I’m not into conspiracy theories, but I certainly have questions. For instance, my first concern is with the FBI: Why they went ahead with the investigation and why they didn’t tell somebody above. If they did tell somebody above, it would have been Eric Holder. And in that case, Holder should have gone to the president.

As Ed already pointed out this morning, the timing of this latest debacle just gets curioser and curioser. Not only will Congress be investigating the FBI’s investigation of the former CIA director, but they’re not ruling out calling Petraeus to testify during the upcoming Benghazi hearings regardless of his resignation.

Operation Fast & Furious was reason enough to be up in arms over the way the president seems to be running his administration, but then came Benghazi and now this? It’s hard not to wonder what the heck is going on over there. I think I’m with Joe Scarborough on this one: “The FBI, the attorney general, everybody better get their story straight fast, because this doesn’t add up.”

And, as you correctly noted above, the primary point of my post wasn’t really about socon turnout. It was about those like Stevie that didn’t vote and have lived another day to bytch and moan about Obama, of who’s extended tenure, they did nothing. We’ve heard constantly about people who either didn’t vote or did vote but knew many people that stayed home. We’ve read it constantly on this threads. Then, we have people like Honda, who voted for Obama, and are bytching about him.

If I had not voted at all, then I would have no right to complain. At least, I tried.

RWM,

I don’t think Rush understands social cons. His brother does. Gary Bauer has more credibility. His column is the only one I’ve seen of that nature. Everything else I’ve read agreed with Sekulow. And I think I read things some time later when the dust settled.

Axe,

We all have to deal with friendly fire here. Sometimes we deal with unfriendly and friendly at the same time. When social cons take a stand on an issue, they are certainly not strangers to constant bombardment.

INC on May 19, 2013 at 11:00 PM

There are oodles of links on the internet. It is the operating premise from people from Rush Limbaugh to the GOP that 3-4 million conservatives stayed home with the overwhelming number of them being social conservatives.

Survey: Evangelical Voters for Romney Overshadowed by Youth, Minorities for Obama

“Evangelicals turned out in record numbers and voted as heavily for Mitt Romney yesterday as they did for George W. Bush in 2004,” said Ralph Reed, chairman of Faith and Freedom Coalition. “That is an astonishing outcome that few would have predicted even a few months ago. But Romney underperformed with younger voters and minorities and that in the end made the difference for Obama.”

I am a SoCon, and eagerly voted for Romney, as did every SoCon I know.

kakypat on May 19, 2013 at 11:01 PM

The only way Obama won re-election in 2012 was:

1. All his thuggery about faux employment stats, war on women b/s, gays and his new outing, IRS audits, Benghazi coverups and etc.

2. The Ron Paulites.

3. All the others, whoever they are, but were not for Obama, staying home and pouting, or waiting for perfection, or being absolutely principled.

4. Romney being the RINO’s choice, and Mitt and company’s stupidity.

5. Media Obama shit-consumers

In any event, they/you all, together, kept this narcissistic nobody of a fool who’ll always be no more/less than a 1%r, ranting against such, hating on the middle class and all honest producers. He’s never produced anything in all his life. He hates producers and honest people. He hates America and her constitution.

May he fluke all who brung/kept him into oblivion, never to redeem. I don’t care if he makes the US into Somalia. She’s already no longer a society of laws. He saw to that. Holder is his perfect capo. Hillary will be thrown under the bus by him, if she runs. He wants D. Patrick or such, as a front.

It’s fun to watch because it’s self-inflicted.

Great essay at American Thinker written by a Vet.

Excerpt:

” We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother

That’s the response of police to the potential loss of a comrade. So too is the response of every member of the military when told one of their own is in jeopardy.

So is an order to “Stand down” (or in the latest iteration of nonsense from the White House, “not go”) because of the risk believable?

Not likely.

What the administration fails to understand is that Americans will forgive a failed attempt to save the lives of Americans. We see people die every day in this country trying to save someone else who is drowning. We see ordinary people take risks just to help another human being. That is part of the American personality. It is part of the American culture. That is part of being American.

Apparently those creatures in the White House have failed to learn these things.

Perhaps this scandal will help them learn that although Americans will forgive a failed attempt to save lives, they will never forgive a failure to make that attempt…”

Step back, think about why you made the effort to join Hot Air and explain how that relates to the now constant troll engagement which dominates most posts. Is this constant grade school level name calling the reason you made the effort to join?

You’ve decided to “wrestle with the pigs” and turn this place into a pig sty. Do you not see your own debasement?

Commenters who do not engage the trolls:

Do you find yourself avoiding commenting? Are you reading fewer and fewer of the comments?

Editors – Ed, AP, MKH, Erica

Is letting this place turn into a conservative version of the Huffington Post increasing or decreasing your page hits?

Do YOU read all of these endless troll centered comments that are overtaking every aspect of this site?

Are you more or less happy with the comments being posted on your site than you were 6 months ago? A year ago? Four years ago?

Oh, well – sonny, if want something mirthless – I would suggest “The Dead Flag Blues”:

The car is on fire, and there’s no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows

The government is corrupt
And we’re on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn

We’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death

The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

It went like this:

The buildings tumbled in on themselves
Mothers clutching babies
Picked through the rubble
And pulled out their hair

The skyline was beautiful on fire
All twisted metal stretching upwards
Everything washed in a thin orange haze

I said, “Kiss me, you’re beautiful -
These are truly the last days”

You grabbed my hand
And we fell into it
Like a daydream
Or a fever

We woke up one morning and fell a little further down
For sure it’s the valley of death

I open up my wallet
And it’s full of blood

Panetta’s just grabbing for an excuse, but it’s sad to see what he thinks will work.

I like both of those guys, but they are odd ducks. Still would have liked to see that concert.

They create big government.

They then claim “the gov’t is too big for Obama to conrol”.

“This is not 9-1-1. You cannot just simply call and expect within two minutes to have a team in place. It takes time,” Panetta said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

How about twenty minutes, an hour, two—you worthless lib Marin county fuk. It’s their own people we are talking about—think how you other “folks” rate.

A strange energy has begun to waift around the ethereal space and it gets lodged inside the cracks and fissures and fills the lowland hollows.

Its a myst-like vapour, an essence wholly lacking in mirth.

Axe on May 20, 2013 at 12:49 AM

I honestly don’t even think of the troll. It’s not about the troll.

Besides, engaging a troll isn’t required . . . Star Trek’s on FX . . . and I usually just scroll past now. I’m not an enforcer anymore. I can just understand enforcement, and why.

I love this bit. It’s mindless. The bar fight. But then, Pike says, “Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mothers. And yours. I dare you to do better.”

Axe on May 19, 2013 at 10:57 PM

I’m just tired of pages of the same circular argument to morons that enjoy being morons. I don’t think I’m alone in that thought. *shrug*

Enjoy your movie. While I’m wondering about the sucker punches that may be in the movie (reading Ed’s review thread), I’m still going to go and hope I won’t feel too irritated afterwards. Lotsa things go boom – sometimes that’s all you can ask for.

I could impart to children an existential angst they don’t get from mere fairly tales. No I’d make it fun and silly.

SparkPlug on May 20, 2013 at 12:17 AM

Only if you can define how to lurk a co-conspirator (wittingly or not).
Possible rephrase: KA2 and Axe are unwitting co-conspirators in lurking.

I just had my own Def Lepp

Love it. Love their old stuff the most.
High N Dry & Pyromania is my fave by them.

bazil9 on May 20, 2013 at 12:56 AM

Actually it is a sentence, structurally, it just doesn’t make any sense, because “are lurking” is a verb-form that does not take an object.

AesopFan on May 20, 2013 at 12:57 AM

a co-conspirator (wittingly or not).
Possible rephrase: KA2 and Axe are unwitting co-conspirators in lurking.

AesopFan on May 20, 2013 at 12:54 AM

What?

Isn’t the verb are? So lurking is what they are, and co-conspirators they are too.

No? Teach me. I want to learn that thing you people do . . . what with the flapping and noise-making. :)
