CIA Director David Petraeus resigns
CIA Director David Petraeus has resigned, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper confirmed Friday afternoon in a statement obtained by the Washington Post.
The news was first reported by NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell.
Well, count me as disappointed. I liked Petraeus at CIA.
I will say one thing: in his statement he flat-out admitted to an extramarital affair. In fact, he used that precise phrase, not one of the usual euphemisms.
This certainly makes the post-election cabinet shuffle a bit more interesting.
I believe he was having or had an affair. It was a great excuse though. Seen it many times during my time as a corporate investigator. High ranking officers subject of an investigation resigning because of legitimate personal reasons.
I also believe based on the General's 40 year career he was a great choice for the head spook.
I have a feeling Benghazi is gonna force a few more resignations.
Here in the real world, David Petraeus has admitted to the aforementioned extramarital affair, using that exact phrase in his resignation letter.
You may be right but no one leaves leaves the CIA over an affair. There has to be more behind his resignation, we shall see what develops.
