Setting up Dems for sexual compromise has been a trick in the repug kit for sometime. It is clear to me that they never had a shot with BHO as he is just too disciplined for that. Perhaps Petraeus was as far up the ladder as they could get. If they had the dirt and thought they could use it to lean on him at the Bengahzi hearings, all that is pretty much done at this point.
