(17,064 posts)Bengahzi isn't that big a deal. Even republicans know this, they are just using it as political ammunition. Petreaus' military and political careers are over. Broadwell's military career and politicam ambitions are over. Probably both marriges are over. Would they have risked that just to take part in a circus side-show? I don't think so. Even if they thought Romney would win, there was still the threatening emails which weren't going to be kept hidden.
IMO, the affair was separate. Broadwell sent the threatening emails to Kelley because she either viewed her as a rival, or as revenge (if Petreaus had dumped her). Only possible Bengahzi connection is if Petreaus had passed classified information to Broadwell about the attack, or CIA operations at the Counselate.
