Patreaus who Orchestrated the surge and agreed to stay on when Obama was elected moved up to the CIA.
He was scheduled to testify next week before congress about Benghazi. Supposedly he's off the witness list now. He's a West Point guy....chances are they tried to use the affair to get him to lie. He outed himself and resigned. Man of Honor.

It will be interesting to see if he does end up testifying...... West Point grad, married to Commandant's daughter for 37 years. And she works as veterans advocate to the White House. The other woman is a WP grad who published the recent book on the general. All that info I got from the lead story on the network news.... Sad state when that is the lead story, and that all involved get dragged through the media mud IMO. |

Why would this have any impact on his testimony?

Because his very high end security clearance gets yanked immediately upon removal from position as well as his requirement to Congress. |

Even if he has resigned, they can still require him to make testimony on everything he knew before he resigned. |

Even if he's a civilian why can't they simply subpoena him?
I can't see how this could impede his testimony, it might just change how it's executed. If this committee doesn't have direct subpoena power I'm sure they could get it taken care of.

I don't know why these guys don't just go sky diving or something if they need a thrill...can it ever possibly be worth your career, your reputation....all of the collateral damage to your wife, kids, other family and friends? Worst thing that happens is you get killed in an unfortunate sky diving accident and go out a hero...get a little strange and get caught and live the rest of your life with the consequences...I don't get it  |
