Dianne Feinstein: The FBI should have told us about Petraeus sooner
Feinstein tells “Fox News Sunday” that she first learned about the matter from the media late last week. Feinstein says she called Petraeus twice on Friday and was dumbstruck when he acknowledged the affair.
The California Democrat says the news was “like a lightning bolt.”
Feinstein says she’s now been briefed by the FBI but wants to know why the bureau didn’t notify her sooner because of the national security implications.

Obama needed to be reelected first. Priorities, my dear, priorities

This is a fun little diversion, but Obama is still President.
Socialism marches on.

Feinstein is interested in why she was left out but has no interest in Behghazi testimony from Gen P..?

Isn’t she precious?

Did she just throw the FBI under the bus?
Two agencies and counting

Whereas the avoidable deaths of four Americans hardly bumped her radar.

Yawn. Traitor-Feinstein is a key player in obama’s Benghazi cover-up … her fake outrage is ridiculous.

Refresh my memory: Was Feinstein this outraged to learn President Clinton was getting BJs in the Oval Office? I thought affairs were private matters to the Dems.
It’s all theater.

I think she intiated Clinton’s censure in the senate.
