| WASHINGTON - Two days after the abrupt resignation of CIA Director David Petraeus, more details are emerging about the chain of events that led to his departure. (Snip) Some close to Petraeus say he´s told them the affair with Broadwell began about two months after he took over the Central Intelligence Agency in September 2011, and the affair ended about four months. Friends of Petraeus say he described the trysts with Broadwell as "infrequent," and he said he never pursued her after the affair ended.

Comments:
The Petraeus-Broadwell "relationship" has a continuously shifting timeline.

We need to make scorecards to keep track of the timeline and players.

The nation absolutely plastered with articles, deep investigative adventures by intrepid journalists ! Oh, I am so impressed with their newfound intellectual curiosity and touching concern for our national security. Why is it always a dumb Republican that rescues powerful Democrats? They seem to know from the very beginning who they should lure into their tent, who would be "useful." This story being twisted to and fro all for the purpose of taking care of Obama - and protecting Hillary.

Petraeus. Broadwell. Players. A novel co-authored by Henry Fielding and Hunter S. Thompson about 1960s pro football players?

Anytime you have a girlfriend on the side and she thinks that you have another girlfriend on the side you are moving towards sticky wicket territory real fast. Most worldly people know that.
The two women who have been named so far are really interesting, #1 Paula Broadwell (Krantz) 40, is from Bismark, ND, graduated from West Point, is a Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army Reserve, is married to a doctor (radiologist) has two children, lives at Charlotte, NC and is doctoral candidate at a college in London, England. #2 Jill Kelley (Khawam) 37, is originally from Lebanon and grew up in Philadelphia, PA to where her family immigrated and run a Middle East Restaurant. She may by employed by the US Dept. of State as a liaison officer to the Special Operations Command at McDill AFB, Tampa, FL. Some other media reports say that she is actually an unpaid social liaison person on the base. She is married to a doctor (surgeon) has children and lives in the Tampa area.
This situation has to be embarrassing to some people who may be entirely innocent. Too bad that Mr. Petraeus "outed" himself in the fashion that he did, while he could have said that he was resigning for personal reasons?
He probably recognized that the Obama crew would have immediately blown the whistle on him to try to immunize themselves from charges that they dumped him to keep him from spilling the beans on what really happened in Benghazi 9-11-12 and thereafter in Washington, DC.

There´s plenty of sex all over the internet. So what! His actual downfall is rooted in some knowledge that 0bama doesn´t want him to tell Congress.

Couldn´t resist; had to have; lust won over. And the end result -- you opened yourself up for blackmail. You are the perfect fool Petraeus. You have given Obama and Clinton the excuses they needed to wriggle their way out of the Benghazi cover-up. No wonder they´ve been hanging on to the video story, but that can all change now thanks to your sexual desires. Just because this woman wanted you was no reason to put the United States in danger.

I don´t blame Petraeus for getting a little on the side. His wife is a hideous beast. Compared to that Sherman Tank, Paula Broadwell is much more alluring. Petraeus probably thought "Hey, I am 60 years old...I saved Iraq in 2006 with the surge, I was "the man" in Afghanistan, and now I am CIA director...why am I stuck with this liberal, ugly wife who has the sexual direction of Hillary? I am going to be the Alpha Male and conquer in this space just like I did in the Middle East..."

Seven months we’ve been waiting for someone, anyone, to ask the White House staff what was President Obama doing on the night the Benghazi attacks took place. We have researched this on our own and have him tracked from 4pm to around 7:30pm (EST). But after 7:30pm it is a total BLACKOUT – an unknown void of information. Finally after seven MONTHS. Chris Wallace asks White House Communications Director, Dan Pfeiffer, what was President Obama doing. (Snip) they are hiding what actually took place that night. They are desperately trying to cover the President’s intentional uninvolvement.

White House advisor Dan Pfeiffer said “the law is irrelevant” when asked by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos Sunday about whether President Obama thought the IRS’ targeting of conservative groups was illegal: Stephanopoulos: What does the president believe? Does the president believe that would be illegal? Pfeiffer: I can’t speak to the law here. The law is irrelevant. The activity was outrageous (Snip) Stephanopoulos: You don’t really mean the law is irrelevant, do you? Pfeiffer: What I mean is whether it’s legal or illegal is not important to the fact that the conduct doesn’t matter.

A former Philadelphia police officer, once hailed as a hero and given a seat next to the first lady at a 2009 speech by President Obama, has been arrested and charged with rape and other crimes. Authorities allege that Richard DeCoatsworth left a party with two females early Thursday and took them to another location, where they allege that he produced a handgun and “forced the two females to engage in the use of narcotics and sexual acts.”(Snip)DeCoatsworth was hailed as a hero after he was shot in the face during a traffic stop in September 2007 but still

Treasury officials were made aware in June 2012 that the IRS inspector general was reviewing the office that handles tax-exempt applications, but a letter from October shows that the inspector general did not highlight the audit as a top concern for the agency. In a memo dated October 15, 2012, to then-Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner about IRS challenges for 2013, Inspector General J. Russell George noted other problem areas, but made no mention of the investigation taking place at the time of the agency´s intense scrutiny of conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.

It eventually comes down to who — who at the IRS was responsible for targeting conservative and Tea Party groups for special scrutiny. Because, after all, you can’t put a “system” in jail. You can’t put a report in prison. You can’t indict a department for corruption. At the end of the day it’s people who are responsible for using the enormous powers of the Internal Revenue Service to go after other people and groups because of their political beliefs. U.S. Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) told the tale of one of his constituents who applied for tax-exempt status for her Tea Party group in July 2010.

Flesh-eating bacteria amputee Aimee Copeland now uses the latest technology in prosthetic hands to chop vegetables, pick up tiny items like Skittles, and comb and iron press her hair. With the bionic hands, Copeland is looking forward to cleaning her house -- she´s a neat freak, she tells CNN -- and cooking her own food. She´s something of a foodie but has been able to eat only microwaveable foods, she adds. (Snip)"It just mimics so well a natural hand that it really just reminds me of before the accident, how I would have done things,"

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

PRESIDENT OBAMA: You are the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington and Ralph Bunche and Langston Hughes and George Washington Carver and Ralph Abernathy and Thurgood Marshall and, yes, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. These men were many things to many people and they knew full well the role that racism played in their life. But when it came to their own accomplishments and sense of purpose, they had no time for excuses. Every one of you has a grandma or an uncle or a parent whose told you at some point in life

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

"Can you see in your mind´s eye a way that this might not have been political, that this was a misguided stupid way to sort, but that they didn´t intend it to be some kind of political attempt to harass the Tea Party?"

WASHINGTON – White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said Sunday Republicans owe Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, an apology for alleging she played a part in formulating the White House’s response to the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, last year that killed four Americans. Pfeiffer said on ABC’s “This Week” that the release of more than 100 pages of Benghazi emails and notes show “beyond a shadow of the doubt” that accusations she tried to change the narrative of what happened in the attacks was false. "And, frankly, I think that many of the Republicans
