3. This Petraeus thing and Cantor knowing about it early and Karl Rove being pictured with the mistress

smells like a set up. This Benghazi thing could blow up in their faces is this was coordinated. A smart investigative journalist could put the pieces together. Maybe Petraeus was being blackmailed by the GOP to embarrass the President. There is more to this and it has a GOP dirty tricks type of scent.

But I wouldn't put it past the GOP congress to try to impeach the President. At least we have a firewall up in the Senate for the next two years to stop it.
