If Cantor knew about the Petraeus story before the White House did, and [View all] Jackpine Radical Nov 2012 OP

Did he work with the FBI? itsrobert Nov 2012 #1

Giving Cantor's treasonous character, I would think that, djean111 Nov 2012 #2

So if Rmoney had won it would have been covered up?n/t malaise Nov 2012 #17

Petraeus and Cantor are right wingers. I think the whistle blower went to a right winger Lint Head Nov 2012 #3

Very plausible jsr Nov 2012 #15

Yup. Failure to notify the President is considered treason Panasonic Nov 2012 #4

Withholding cruicial information Panasonic Nov 2012 #7

You would do well to look up the definition of treason in Constitution SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2012 #8

Interestingly, I was accused of treason downthread SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2012 #22

I saw that and had to laugh. n/t hughee99 Nov 2012 #25

Cantor actually did the right thing here, it appears to me alcibiades_mystery Nov 2012 #6

Tend to agree on the whole. I think the FBI employee, as well as Reichert, were possibly looking for pinto Nov 2012 #33

My take on it... ewagner Nov 2012 #9

His "service" in the House has been a string of acts of treason. HopeHoops Nov 2012 #10

Yet another poster who loves to throw around the work "treason". former9thward Nov 2012 #11

Thank you SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2012 #12

Where have I EVER preached aid and comfort to our enemies? n/t SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2012 #14

Well, here, for one RobertEarl Nov 2012 #18

Knowing the definition of treason SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2012 #20

Heh RobertEarl Nov 2012 #26

Upon what do you base your assumption that he's my friend? SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2012 #28

Who said no trial? RobertEarl Nov 2012 #32

On a personal level, neither SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2012 #36

Since Cantor is our "enemy" do you want all of our enemies thrown in Prison? former9thward Nov 2012 #21

Prison is an apt place, yes. RobertEarl Nov 2012 #24

Thinking someone is a criminal SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2012 #27

FBI is on him now RobertEarl Nov 2012 #29

Examples of where I'm coddling them? n/t SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2012 #31

So you re saying all non-Democrats are criminals? former9thward Nov 2012 #30

Apparenty so SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2012 #34

No. But Cantor is RobertEarl Nov 2012 #35

If you have proof he's a criminal, turn him in SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2012 #37

Yes Mr. 1650 posts I know what website I am on. former9thward Nov 2012 #38

Cantor is my enemy RobertEarl Nov 2012 #40

A political opponent. former9thward Nov 2012 #41

Depends on whose duty it was to inform the W.H. Cantor was informed because of his committee Honeycombe8 Nov 2012 #16

I would have thought the FBI would have informed the White House SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2012 #45

I have since learned that Cantor learned about it in OCTOBER. From an FBI friend? Hmmmm. nt Honeycombe8 Nov 2012 #52

He learned about it from another Congressman SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2012 #53

Whether he followed protocol or not is the issue Blue4Texas Nov 2012 #39

Display article list Petraeus news hit Feinstein like 'lightning bolt' Tippy Nov 2012 #42

The FBI is the part of the executive branch that is responsible for counterintelligence. FarCenter Nov 2012 #46

Was this the Gobbers October Surprise? Wellstone ruled Nov 2012 #47

Based on this logic and per Dianne Feinstein's comments I guess the FBI is guilty of treason SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2012 #48

Covering up the potential vulnerability of a person in Petraeus' position is arguably Jackpine Radical Nov 2012 #49

yes; it also suggests the FBI has too much autonomy and is aligned with Cantor, and not under Prez c amborin Nov 2012 #50

Yes as in it's treason? n/t SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2012 #51
