Exactly. This is a joke. He and Valerie decided to bank this one for a while until needed.

You could not be a janitor at the CIA and have an extramarital affair and the agency background check not know it.

And the FBI would tell a member of congress before letting the POTUS know?

BS, the president knew and he knew from the moment the man took the position. The question is how exactly he was using the information.

Hell at this point there are a few Republicans that need to step down along with most of Obama Inc…

They told who was important, first.

I’m not sure where the idea comes from that they should have leaked this before the election comes from. The media would have remembered that Petraeus was probably a Republican and mentioned that in the second paragraph of every report.

In any case, even if the story was about David Axelrod instead of Petraeus, it wouldn’t have mattered to the Free ____ Army.

This was probably posted earlier. K.T. McFarland makes interesting points about the affair being rumored in the military when she met with Petraeus in Afghanistan and that when when appointed to the CIA top spot Petraeus would have undergone another investigation and a CIA polygraph:

Also on Meet the Press today Bob Woodard said that Petraeus personally went to Libya to investigate what occurred in Benghazi.

K.T. McFarland seems to conclude that the affair was known prior to Petraeus being confirmed (known by the WH, that is) and that he may have used this as a reason to step down in order to testify on Benghazi as a private citizen and without the WH’s interference.

Sounds as if the FBI “employee” will be looking for a job since he/she was trying to blow the whistle on the FBI for sitting on this.

I think Cantor did the only thing he could do, which is let the FBI director know that he knew something was going on. He could hardly pop up on TV immediately and start spreading rumors. If the whole thing had been false he would have looked like a fool. Cantor couldn’t know if he was being played in some way. He needed to be cautious.

Bringing them in on it was a layer of the plot. Probably to show some deniability later on. I guess the plot was to use Petreaus for their purposes for the time being but have the ability to dispose of him later on. They liked the fact that he was compromised because they can make him play ball, and they can ruin him when it’s convenient for them. That’s precisely why he was promoted to the CIA position.

The report says Cantor spoke to the FBI employee after being told by Rep. Dave Reichert (R-Wash.) that someone at the agency had concerns about national security and wanted to speak to a congressional leader about the allegations.

If true, speaks volumes about how some view our Dear Liar and his approach to national security
