Thank you Eric Cantor... You just told Peter King, Darryl Issa and anyone else who demands a timeline for when Obama knew because of course there is blackmail going on..to shut the fuck up..
unless you were planning on doing the blackmailing of course..
Spokesman: House majority leader knew of Petraeus matter in OctoberHouse majority leader Eric Cantor talked to an FBI official in late October about former CIA Director David Petraeus' involvement in an affair, a spokesman for the congressman told CNN Sunday.Doug Heye said
Cantor had a conversation with the whistleblower about the affair and the national security concerns involved in the matter.The New York Times reported Saturday that on October 31, Cantor's chief of staff phoned the FBI to inform them about the call between the congressman and the FBI official.
The affair that brought an end to Petraeus' tenure as CIA director came to light during an FBI investigation into a complaint that his biographer Paula Broadwell was sending harassing e-mails to another woman close to him, a U.S. official said Saturday
http://www.cnn.com/2012/11/11/us/petraeus-cia-resignation/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 Peter King(R) is losing his mind all over the TV shows today saying that "the House and Senate intelligence committees weren't informed that there was an FBI investigation into the situation until Friday." he's calling it borderline treasonous that Obama would hear about it at 5pm on election day and not saying anything until Friday.. the right is pimping another 'insider' leak that Obama knew and blackmailed the General to keep him from testifying about the fanciful 'stand down' order that was never given..
and lo and behold.. the the House Majority Leader knew about it all for a month now?
I want to know what Cantor was doing with this information. ..why would a 'whistleblower' go to him? for some political gain?
I want to know who Cantor told this information to... if he kept it to himself, why? Did he plan to use it during the debt-crisis talks?
I want to know if Cantor ever approached the General with this knowledge and demanded the General find something to use against Obama in the Benghazi issue or he (cantor) would be forced to go to the press with this information..
Hell, it would seem only fair to ask the same questions of Cantor that they want to ask of Obama...
