on Petraeus affair

Associated Press, by Anne Flaherty*

Original Article

Posted By:earlybird, 11/11/2012 9:06:51 PM

WASHINGTON — Members of Congress said Sunday they want to know more details about the FBI investigation that revealed an extramarital affair between ex-CIA Director David Petraeus and his biographer, questioning when the retired general popped up in the FBI inquiry, whether national security was compromised and why they weren´t told sooner. (Snip) Staffers for Petraeus said Kelley and her husband were regular guests at events he held at Central Command headquarters. In a statement Sunday evening, Kelley and her husband, Scott, said: "We and our family have been friends with Gen. Petraeus and his family

Comments:
*Kimberly Dozier and Adam Goldman

Kelley was given an appreciation certificate naming her an "honorary ambassador" by the coalition countries represented at CENTCOM.

Shouldn´t this headline have been published on 4/1? Please, nothing, and I mean nothing will come of this. The Regime will stonewall and the press will run interference. Let´s just get used to it folks, the Dark Side has won, all we can do is keep our heads down and try to survive.

Well at least we know who the other other woman is. Or not. I don´t trust any of this.

To have any sense of what really happened, you would have to have a person of honor, a person you can trust to tell the truth come forward and talk openly to us. And where would we stumble upon such a mythical person in this sad and sorry debacle?

I´m with #3. I too want answers about Benghazi, and not some of that shuck and jive excuses. Someone must pay, and we want the perps responsible punished NOW!


Reply 9 - Posted by: Stopstoreload, 11/11/2012 10:44:53 PM     (No. 9008139)

This whole mistress thing is a smear to cover up the facts. Anyone in a
congressional committee hearing who brings the mistress issue into question when he or she should be bearing down on the Benghazi issue is a paltroon or a fool... or a Democrat, which may include one or the other or both of the foregoing.

They are not to be trusted because they have no standards.

I want to know if Petraeus was blackmailed into giving that information to congress regarding that video causing a riot when he knew all along that it was a terrorist attack. I hope he voluntarily comes before congress-especially if he has any honor at all.

Shouldn´t Benghazi be #1 on the list


The rest of US want answers on Benghazi.

Once again our republican house of representatives is being played for a bunch of FOOLS. They should have gone back into session over Libya, but were played like violins by zero and company. Republicans, the only political party in History to continually pull Defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Hope Petraeus has Vince Foster insurance. And don´t bother calling Hillary-she really can et away with not remembering or recalling once more?

Broadwell has no blue dress for life insurance.

So what does the General have that makes these women think with their lady parts? The must be married to liberal men.

Out of the facetious tone...feminize your menfolk ladies and that is who you sleep with (or should resign yourself to)--although I´m not sure I want to mock the victim husband or husbands? Not too sure want to defame Kelley but if she was also actively engaged with Petraaeus´ mystique, what is with these Doctors´ wives? When is enough enough in this generation of lovers of self?

If the woman sent a nasty e mail,she´d be a fool for not making her bio of signing up a complete fake. Otherwise how could the FBI track her down using her e mail account.

Because of what Ms. Broad ell potentially knows, she´s a real menace to the Obama administration.Wouldn´t surprise me if she got book and movie offers.

Congress is a weak eunuch. It never pushes back against executive branch excesses. Time to man up, little congressional pubbies! Don´t be a weak cuckold like Paula Broudwell´s wussie husband!

IRS´ last two commissioners deny

WASHINGTON — As the Internal Revenue Service´s last two directors struggled to provide answers Tuesday about the agency´s improper scrutiny of conservative groups, a lawyer for another key IRS official said she would invoke the 5th Amendment rather than answer questions about the screening and why she didn´t tell Congress about it. Lois Lerner, director of exempt organizations for the IRS, will assert her right against self-incrimination during her scheduled appearance Wednesday before the House oversight panel.

About “Bush Appointee” Doug Shulman …
Red State, by Dana Loesch    Original Article
Posted By: earlybird- 5/21/2013 1:39:04 PM     Post Reply
The left loves to remind everyone that the former IRS commissioner was a Bush appointee, because somehow this makes it OK that his IRS office abused power to criminally target conservatives. For a party that loves to blame Bush, they sure love signing off on everything Bush did and then maximizing it times eleventy. Shulman may have been a Bush appointee, but he was an Obama donor: Shulman donated $500 to the Democratic National Committee in 2004. So let’s start calling him “Democrat supporter” Doug Shulman. All this shows is that Bush wasn’t an ideological bigot.

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.

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

   

 



 
IG letter to Geithner: Targeting
not among top concerns
CNN, by Jessica Yellin    Original Article

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.

IRS breaks the rules

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.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

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:

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
