There were indications, however, that the affair was first uncovered a few months ago during an investigation by the FBI. A U.S. national security source said the FBI had stumbled across evidence of Petraeus' affair during an apparently unrelated investigation of news leaks.
Sounds like uncovering it was an accident. If they're concerned the affair involved a security breach with Broadwell then they're going to take away his clearance. Without clearance he can't testify.
Read his biographer went to West Point, Harvard, King's College, did triathlons, was an officer for 15 years . . . Also those are serious Type-A Crazy Eyes.

Yeah, why would the head of your intelligence service resign just because he made himself vulnerable to blackmail? It's not like Petraeus' affair is Obama's fault.
I'm wondering how long it will be before someone around here starts blaming the Jews for this.

WASHINGTON—Central Intelligence Agency Director David Petraeus resigned after a probe into whether someone else was using his email led to the discovery that he was having an extramarital affair, according to several people briefed on the matter.
A Federal Bureau of Investigation inquiry into use of Mr. Petraeus's Gmail account led agents to believe the woman or someone close to her had sought access to his email, the people said.
Multiple officials familiar with the investigation identified the woman as the author of a biography on Mr. Petraeus. http://www.wsj.com
Oh, no. She's not crazy at all.
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
The collapse of the dazzling career of CIA Director David H. Petraeus was triggered when a woman with whom he was having an affair sent threatening e-mails to another woman close to him, according to three senior law enforcement officials with knowledge of the episode.
The recipient of the e-mails was so frightened that she went to the FBI for protection and help tracking down the sender, according to the officials. The FBI investigation traced the threats to Paula Broadwell, a former military officer and a Petraeus biographer, and uncovered explicit e-mails between Broadwell and Petraeus, the officials said.
When Petraeus’s name first surfaced, FBI investigators were concerned that the CIA director’s personal e-mail account had been hacked and security had been breached. But the sexual nature of the e-mails led them to conclude that Petraeus and Broadwell were engaged in an affair, the officials said.
All women I've met with the Crazy Eyes turned out to be crazy. They should be incorporated into the DMSV.

She's got a husband and a couple kids. They gotta be in hell right now.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

If the letter that is floating around the Internet is really from her husband, I have absolutely no sympathy for his sorry ass. The kids will of course be all messed up. Mom is a whore and dad is a balless dipshit that likes being cuckold.

Arms are the only true badge of liberty. The possession of arms is the distinction of the free man from the slave.
Yesterday I was talking with some folks that knew Lisa Nowak, the asstronaut. They all agreed that, while they didn't expect any of their brethren to go bat-shit crazy and do something like that, if someone had told them someone had done it, they definitely would have said, "It's got to be her".

OK from various sources on Google news. Another woman was getting close to the General. His mistress emailed the woman and threatened her. The threatened woman RAN to the FBI who tapped into the emails. They realized he was fucking around... lots of sex talk and no secrets being exchanged.
BTW. Hilary refused to testify in the closed door hearings on Benghazi.

One of the most interesting aspects is in reference to the Sunday Times Magazine column of The Ethicist of July 13. I remember at the time wondering who the subject was. For a description and links go to the somewhat luridly titled item: Did Paula Broadwell's Cuckolded Husband Write a Letter to Chuck Klosterman in the The New York Times? http://gawker.com/5959398/did-paula-bro ... s-ethicist
Mr. Petraeus's tenure at Langley was probably too brief to form any real judgment of his impact on the hidebound agency. But his record as a strategist and battlefield commander was every bit the equal of Creighton Abrams, Eisenhower or George Patton. His plan and execution for a counterinsurgency campaign, which became known as the Iraq surge, saved the U.S. from a humiliating defeat. http://www.wsj.com
To put things in context.

I don't see why he cannot testify as to his actual knowledge of events and his own actions. (i.e., "What did you know and when did you know it? What did you do? What did you do next? etc.)

Congress can still subpoena him, AFAIK. But he is no longer part of the Administration, so his boss, the President, can't just tell him to go testify.

Congress can subpoena anybody they want. Really the conspiracy guys should be happy- Obama has no authority over him now, and no stick to hit him with. He can testify to whatever he wants to.

The blood in the water over Bengazi is what makes it interesting-- if he perjured himself in his previous testimony (as many people theorize) he's facing an even bigger issue, as is the administration. Regarding his legacy and reputation, this could be bad no matter how he plays it.

He wouldn't be able to access any of his notes though, right? All of his emails, all of his communications, all documents pertaining to the situation would be above his current clearance. He could testify but it would be entirely from memory. Any attorney defending him would be in the same situation, right? Maybe somebody with better knowledge of security clearance procedures can clarify this, but that is what I've been reading.
Petraeus' is no longer CIA chief. The deputy director testifies, closed door to Intelligence Committee.
Hilary refused to testify to that committee.
Petraeus can be subpoenaed.
I guess Hilary can too?
Petraeus remembers Joe Biden and Hilary's questioning him years ago and saying, "You must suspend all disbelief", relative to his report on Iraq.
So Petraeus has nothing to lose and dumps on the Administration?
