42. Betray Us and his Gal Pal: The Eric Cantor Love AStory
Mon Nov 12, 2012, 03:58 PM
Nov 2012

Petraeus is a Republican, Cantor is a Republican, The Whistler Blower is a Republican, the shame would be on the Republicans just prior to a Presidential race. Do you believe they did not discuss this with Rove, Koch Brothers, Romney, all the attached minions to this campaign? Why would this possibly be embarrassing to the President? Eric Cantor sat on confidential security related issues until after the election. He should be investigated as to why he did not follow any procedure when National Security had been breached by the so called hero who did not have enough honor to step down prior to being outed. There is a UTUBE video out with his gal pal announcing just a monthago:
"In an Oct. 26 speech at the University of Denver, she said that Libyan militants had attacked the post to retrieve some fellow fighters who’d been taken prisoner at the nearby CIA annex. She also seems to suggest that Petraeus himself knew about it, implying that he may have been her source. Here’s the relevant passage from the speech, transcribed in full here by Foreign Policy’s Blake Hounshell.

Now, I don’t know if a lot of you heard this, but the CIA annex had actually, um, had taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner and they think that the attack on the consulate was an effort to try to get these prisoners back. So that’s still being vetted.

The challenging thing for General Petraeus is that in his new position, he’s not allowed to communicate with the press. So he’s known all of this — they had correspondence with the CIA station chief in, in Libya. Within 24 hours they kind of knew what was happening."
The full story of Broadwell’s access to Petraeus’s world at the CIA is still not clear, but it appears to have been intimate, perhaps problematically so. The Wall Street Journal now reports that FBI investigators found classified documents on her computer. That Petraeus’s relationship may have jeopardized sensitive intelligence would seem to remain the strongest case for his resignation.

Petraeus pillow talked to an unstable egomaniac, and our nation was, possible has, put at risk. Eric Cantor, fellow egomaniac, sweetened the deal by sitting on the story until it would do the Republicans least harm, but to hell with rest of his country.
Traitors, one and all.

I guess that this whistle-blower will get the same punishment as Assange, right? zbdent Nov 2012 #1

Yeah, because all Assange did was contact a member of Congress with his allegations. 24601 Nov 2012 #45

It was the FBI that was playing footsie with the Republicans in the House. DURHAM D Nov 2012 #20
Sorry but a FBI investigation of the CIA director would have been reported to Holder. former9thward Nov 2012 #21
Two things - (1) It was not an investigation of the CIA director initially. DURHAM D Nov 2012 #23
As to #2, I have no idea. former9thward Nov 2012 #31

The person who went to Reichert was NOT Jill Kelly, but an FBI employee alcibiades_mystery Nov 2012 #38
