Mike Rogers questions whether Obama knew about Petraeus before election day
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) on Sunday said he was not ready to rule out the possibility that President Obama knew about former CIA director David Petraeus’s affair before Election Day.
“I’m not sure the president was not told before election day,” said Rogers in an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“The attorney general knew months before this. There was no formal notice to either Congress or the intelligence community,” he added. “We just need to ask the question, I hope they come up and talk to us.”

This administration is not going to be held accountable regardless of how many dead Americans there are or how much evidence to their wrong doing is uncovered.
I hope I am wrong …

Only a moron would take Hussein at his word.

What the Hell difference does it make, before, after, truth, lies, its all the same to Obama. No one, NO ONE, is going to do anything about it so why bother. The only remedy is impeachment and no one in this Congress has the cajones to impeach America’s first Black Messiah-King, and Obama doesn’t give a damn about the Constitution anyway.

If he didn’t, he’s a nincompoop.
If he did, as we all suspect, he’s a liar.
There’s no way he comes off looking good except to Richard Trumka.

I think the house would impeach but the senate wont find him guilty and remove him from office. Not with Harry at the helm.
It is going to take some serious uproar and his glazed over fans in the press to push the indignation… I just dont see it happening unless the military turns on him in such numbers he cannot lead.
Of course I would have to guess that Joe Biden did not what the foreign policy was much less about the general stooping his biographer or he would have let that cat out of the bag big time.

I’m tired of these Sgt. Schultz games all the while the left sneers at conservatives.
In this instance, why in the hell would a responsible AG withhold such information? Fire him or impeach him.

I am so tired of the administration thinking we are all stupid or don’t care—–OK, apparently the majority seems to be.
It is difficult to believe Stedman did not brief Obama since they are close.

Obama didn’t even know Patraeus was CIA chief until he resigned.
That’ll be the next O-lie of the Day.
