Why Is Petraeus Not Testifying?
— Ace

I don't care if he had an affair or not-- you don't get a pass from answering critical questions on a major debacle simply because you also might have done something else wrong in your personal life.

What the hell is this crap? Who cares if he had an affair? What does that have to do with Benghazi?

I don't know he should necessarily resign over this -- apart from the security breach (which seems minor, if the FBI already says it's not expecting charges).

But I sure the hell know he doesn't get a Get Out of Testifying Free Card.

Testifying before Congress isn't up to your own discretion, when it's convenient for you.

If he now says he doesn't want to testify, tough shit, subpoena him.

5 I think the House can still compel him to testify.

6 Somebody said upon resignation he loses his security clearance and can not testify. I assume the new head could give him clearance.

7 I kind of thought Congress has subpoena power.  Guess not, oh well, prolly nothing there anyway.

9 Petraeus if he wanted this to go away made a big miscalculation- he sexed up the story. Nothing peaks the public's interest like that.

34 Paula Broadwell ( Kranz) Passion. Intensity. Vision. Three simple nouns that can only partially describe the complexity of Paula Kranz, 1991 CHS graduate. In high school, Paula excelled in the classroom and beyond, fulfilling a variety of leadership roles from homecoming queen to CHS and state student council president, from all-state basketball player to orchestra concert mistress, from AAU-Mars Milky Way All-American to valedictorian. This passion directed toward excellence and a well-rounded education served Paula well as she advanced to West Point where she earned Dean's List status and the honor of Class Secretary, all while graduating number one physically in her class.

40 My guess is that he is only not testifying in an official capacity but could have already met with the Chairman, or, will meet separately with him in the near future. As I understand it the hearings are in camera and Petraeus will be free to talk at all levels of classification and about anything that the chairman desires. I suspect nothing has changed except the military status of Petraeus (now he's a civilian vice a soldier).

They've even successfully covered up the number of Libyans killed at Benghazi, both because they love dead brown people and because they want to make it seem like there wasn't a real fight, dishonoring our men who fought and died.

93 Look, Dave Petrraeus is a company man through and through. He'll put the organization ahead of himself every time. He screwed up on his own time, but he'll bow out in a way that doesn't rock the boat. Not because he likes Obama or dislikes Obama, but because he cares about the boat above all else. Company men see the organization (military, CIA, defense department) as the Cause, and act accordingly. That's not to say he's a bad man or a poor patriot, but he's corporate-military to the bone. That's where his loyalty and heart lies. If you think he looks at Benghazi as anything more than just another op that went bad, then you don't get how he's wired. His only motivation at this point is to get out of the limelight before his indiscretion brings discredit upon the highest echelons of the national security apparatus. A sentiment that is both charmingly noble and sadly naive, but his sentiment nonetheless.

There is nothing that prevents/protects a private citizen from being forced to testify before Congress.

Nothing.

A Congressional subpoena is all-powerful.

 

Petraeus is a private citizen now.

 

The only thing that could prevent him from testifying at this point?

-- If Barky invokes 'Executive Privilege'.

Posted by: George Orwell what knows we are now Airstrip One at November 09, 2012 02:52 PM (mukPq)

97 "93 Look, Dave Petrraeus is a company man through and through. He'll put the organization ahead of himself every time. He screwed up on his own time, but he'll bow out in a way that doesn't rock the boat. Not because he likes Obama or dislikes Obama, but because he cares about the boat above all else. Company men see the organization (military, CIA, defense department) as the Cause, and act accordingly. That's not to say he's a bad man or a poor patriot, but he's corporate-military to the bone. That's where his loyalty and heart lies. If you think he looks at Benghazi as anything more than just another op that went bad, then you don't get how he's wired. His only motivation at this point is to get out of the limelight before his indiscretion brings discredit upon the highest echelons of the national security apparatus. A sentiment that is both charmingly noble and sadly naive, but his sentiment nonetheless. Posted by: Artemus Khan, Supervillain-Billionaire-Layabout at November 09, 2012 06:51 PM (27tUc) " Sure.

99 It is a big deal that the Director of the CIA was having an affair especially if he lied about it.  He opened himself up to blackmail.  It's a major security breach.  Plus, geez, what a douchebag.  That being said, he still should testify.

103 It is NOT blackmail. In the law they call this "impeaching the witness". You try and discredit the witness in some way in order to undermine their credibility. Hubby found messages on her computer and reported it. FBI looked through his emails and confirmed affair. She tells hubby she broke it off and he is still emailing her. Admin knows all this and sits on it. Then Benghazi happens. Patraeus starts leaking to the press, but only Fox goes with it. They do not want to draw attention to Benghazi before the election. They sit on it until after the election. Then they demand his resignation, tell him what to write. They get rid of him, he won't testify. Even if he testifies or tries to leak to the press, the administration strikes first. They leak to Slate and NBC (both VERY friendly to the administration) details of the affair and emails in an attempt to make him sound like an unstable nutter. He is no good as a witness now. Now he is a liar with terrible judgement, and no one will believe him. It is not blackmail, they are impeaching the witness. Doing a nice job too. posted this on the earlier thread. It almost doesn't matter now if he testifies or leaks, he is a nutter. Who is saying there were "thousands" of e-mails to make him look buts, why administration sources. They are impeaching the witness.

126 No one will call the Obama Admin on this. Obama is cleaning house. He's also busting like 7 Navy Seals for leaking stuff. #Irony

Issa and all of Repub Leaders did jack squat about Fast & Furious. They will end up doing the same with Benghazi.  If they ask. They are racist. If they demand. Obama and MSM will laugh and then say you are racist.

Yes MSM is protecting Obama. Even so; GOP Leaders should be making a stand. They are too chicken shit or don't care. Or maybe on the same side.

They won't do jack about the election either. No one will investigate the makers of the voting machines, or the software they use. No one will do anything about Philly, where they kick out GOP watchers and bam like 140% of voters just happened to vote 99.9% for Obama in those areas.

No one has demanded answers on Brietbart. Isn't it always convenient with Obama how people in his business just happen to die. The gay guys from Obama's church. I think 3, all died a few months apart.  Person that was going to testify on the Social Security break-in. Killed. Hell sure was nice for O's grandma to die when she did. Dead people can't talk. Brietbart's guy doing his autopsy report dies from poisoning same day report comes out.

Trying not to be some crazy whacko but so much shit is just so convenient for Obama. What if someone that knew about the voting machines being fixed. They knew how it all worked. They contacted Brietbart.

None of it matters though. Cause no one is doing shit about any of it. What about the birth certificate. What if the stuff about it being forged is true? Sure seems like good proof it was fake. They couldn't alter old newspaper records with fake info? What about his different social security numbers. What about his passport and trip to Pakistan?

We don't know shit. MSM is protecting him while the GOP Leadership does nothing. Just seems like we are being manipulated big time by someone. Who? I have no clue.

If you say anything. You are racists. If you want to cut spending you are some radical. You are so far to the right they have no problem calling you an extremist or terrorist. If you ask about all the money coming from foreign donors and being laundered; you are a racist. If you don't think you are racist; you really are but just haven't realized it yet.

Oh but if a real terrorist shoots crap load of people on an Army base or blow the shit out of our people in Libya. Well that is not terrorism. Some video's fault. Batshit Crazy

I remember that for a while, before you got all hung up on smiting the Purists and hating the Losers and such, you started making a distinction between what the law says and what the Real Law is.

That was good when you did that.

There's actual written law that says he can be made to testify, and that he could get in some very deep rest-of-his-life-in-the-hoosegow trouble if he bullshits or fucks around too much when he does.

But the Real Law is that no company man is subject to the law. He may be subject to ignominy, or various forms of partial or temporary exile—even retirement. What he trades to get his freedom from the law, to be subject only to Real Law, is...

Right. Dude ain't sayin' shit.

I'm 99% sure the committee can subpoena him to testify though I doubt they'll have the balls to. The House GOP sounds pretty whipped right now. Anyways, Bolton was on Fox earlier claiming Petraeus can be compelled to testify but I wasn't listening closely so I didn't catch his argument. If it the House GOP actually has to do something (e.g. issue a subpoena) to make Petraeus testify, however, it looks like he won't be testifying.

Perhaps Petraeus chose not to simply 'retire' because he was aware of the FBI investigation involving Broadgate.

Given the BenghaziGate investigation, Petraeus publicly spilled the beans about that affair to head off any member of this administration (actually bearing guilt in the BenGhaziGate investigation) from taking advantage and manipulating any testimony Petraeus would be compelled to provide through  a Congressional subpoena.

  The time is right now to make sure voter fraud never happens again.  All the republican govenors with an assembly that they can work with need to pass some reforms to make sure the shit that happened in Philly and Cleveland etc etc. doesn't happen two years from now in republican controlled states.....

 

  The republicans ( including myself) bitch and moan about this every election cycle and yet nothing is ever done about it.  Time to do something about it in the states in which the republicans control things.  Do it now, so it's not a problem two years from now.

 

  Stat.  Motherf*ckers.

 

  Oh, and does anyone know some good ideas for reform?  Perhaps a new reform thread could appear someday here on the Ace of Spades blog?

Actually, this result does not surprise me. There was an article in a Utah paper a few months back, interviewing black Mormons and asking them how they were planning to vote. Most of the black Mormons in the article were planning to vote for Obama; race (or party if they were dems) trumped religion. Dems like to pretend Mormons are 100% white but that is just not the case, at least not outside of Utah. Ever been to a Vegas ward? The ward Romney would have been in had he become president was mostly black and latino.

232 Still, the White House, with concurrence by the FBI and Justice Department, held off on asking for Petraeus’ resignation until after the election. His resignation occurred three days after the election, avoiding the possibility that Obama’s ill-fated appointment of Petraeus could become an issue in the election. FBI agents on the case were aware that such a decision had been made to hold off on forcing him out until after the election and were outraged. “The decision was made to delay the resignation apparently to avoid potential embarrassment to the president before the election,” an FBI source says. “To leave him in such a sensitive position where he was vulnerable to potential blackmail for months compromised our security and is inexcusable.” Michael Kortan, the FBI’s assistant director for public affairs, said he had no comment.

238 He should still testify, and Congress can compel him to do so. But anyone who has paid attention to politics for any length of time should know that nothing will come of it if he does. What is it we're hoping he'd say that isn't already known? That Stevens requested more security but was denied by State? That Obama knew from the start that the attack wasn't over the stupid video? That there was terrorist activity in the area? About the only thing left that matters is who gave the order to stand down, and nobody will link that directly to Obama. At best an underling will get thrown under the bus and Obama will cite "conflicting reports". We deserve to know the truth, but the testimony of Petraeus won't change the fact that we won't get the full story.

245 The Book of Habbakuk Habbakuk's first question. "Why , Lord do you make me see wrong doing and look at trouble? Destruction and trouble are before me....the wicked surround the righteous."..... "I will stand at my watchpost and station myself on the rampart. I will keep watch to see what he willl say to me concerning my complaint. Then the Lord answered me and said: "Write the vision. make it plain on tablets so that a runner may read it. For there is still a vision for the appointed time, it speaks of the end and does not lie. If it seems to tarry wait for it it will surly come, It will not delay ".... "Though the fig tree does not blossom, and no fruit is one the vines, though the produce of the olive fails, and the fields yield no food,; though the flock is cut off from the fold and there is no herd in the stall, yet i will rejoice in the Lord; I will exault, he in the God of my salvation. God, the Lord is my strength. He makes my feet like the foot of a deer, and makes me tread upon the heights."

248 O/T: so I have lately (for obvious reasons) been contemplating tax avoidance schemes (NOT illegal tax evasion) and this is what I have so far:

- maxing out HSA contributions
- maxing out 401k/403b contributions
- using HELOC for consumer purchases rather than installment loans/credit cards (HELOC interest is tax deductible)

any other thoughts?

I am sure they are going through a nightmare right now.....this is a woman that has been married to him for 37 years, a family that stood by his side while he went through cancer treatments. She seems like a lovely lady, and while this certainly affects the whole Benghazi situation, let's not forget that first and foremost, this is turning his wife and children's lives upside down.

My opinion?  For one, we should stop worrying about what the left is going to say about us.  They lead us around by the nose, and some are too blind to see it.  For example, they invent the word "birther" to ridicule anyone who questions obama's background.  So naturally, we have to play along,  dancing to their tune, because they've set the narrative that anyone who questions anything about dear leader is unhinged.  It's really pretty smart of them.  They take anything that scares them off the table very effectively.   Let's face it, pursuing a strategy of winning hearts and minds of the left is no more effective than us using the same strategy with the islamic savages.

257 I really think this is a non-issue and that we've been judging Benghazigate the same way we looked at the election. That is, by standards 20-30 years old. The culture now probably couldn't care less, especially when the media is there ready to tell them it was no big deal and 'nuanced' etc.

In 74 the Watergate hearings were live on all the networks - you couldn't escape them. And the media wanted Nixon gone. The public was dutifully outraged and we know what happened.

263 Having looked into it, I see that there's no clear distinction in Islamic zinâ between foolin' around when you're single, and foolin' around when you're not.

(Groups like the Taliban will Make A Point by stoning the occasional male fornicator - usually when it's a Christian raising an eyebrow at a Muslima.)

But I actually thought that Islam did make a distinction between adultery versus fornication; like Christianity and the various European pagan / common laws make distinctions.

Can some Jews pitch in? What does rabbinic law say about adultery versus fornication?

Yet, the White House states Petreaus will not? Maybe those thinking Petraeus is about to turn hero are right... Benghazi is PERSONAL for the military. It proved that O has a target on their backs.

392 "But, I also think just as you would in any tragedy, and it IS a tragedy to his family, it is appropriate to offer thoughts and prayers to help them get through a trying time. Even though they are not reading it, it still doesn't hurt to at least acknowledge that someone is hurting right now."



We're all hurting right now.  Spare me. 



I'm unburdened by the ritual of prayer and my thoughts are better directed toward those that give a fuck about their fellow man and their country.  Democrats, their appointees, and by association - their families, do not fall into that  category. 



They are the enemy, and the sooner you recognize it, the safer you and your loved ones  will be.

I'm sure your snark will be appreciated by Obamaphone woman when you tell her that you are out of money and can't get pay the taxes required for her to get some more government cheese, so keep practicing it.

Godspeed, SWPL hipster!

394 He's not testifying due to the optics of dragging a war hero through the mud. You're dealing with a voting public (42% according to exit polls) who cited Hurricane Sandy as a factor in their vote, and went for Obama.

I won't waste my time listing the things you are "not very", although the list would start with "intelligent" and "interesting". And that's just the "i" words.

And, we're not "letting it burn", we're "burning it". Enjoy.

Doesn't matter if you're "right afeared" or not, just like it doesn't matter if the snow wants to melt once the spring comes. You've got no more chance of stopping it than the South had of stopping the North in the 1st Civil War.

Understand post is about Petraeus Not Testifying, so OT.

 

Spent a lot of time 24/7/365 defending nation.

 

Spent a lot of time watching this web site.

 

Watched Ace do twitter thing, sight to behold.

 

So, I can't get in touch w/ RNC personnel who called me at all times.

 

Do the R's run 24/7/365 or do they just run during normal hour except when they want the vote??

 

I don't do twitter. If anybody is connected to the R's please ask.

Thanks

I donÂ’t know why this is such a big deal as Petraeus has been having a long term affair with some chick named Sharia something or other, out in the open, and nobody batted an eyelash.

His love affair with IslamÂ…you knowÂ…winning the hearts and mindsÂ….making sure troops donÂ’t pee toward Mecca,Â…making sure Muslims arenÂ’t offended by our troops presence, making sure our troops lives and limbs are subservient to every Muslim whimÂ….the kind of destructive affair where the ones you should be caring for get shafted.

Ohhhh, you're burning it! How proactive! Better be careful though - you burn too much and you might find yourselves replaced. There are people who are more qualified and more motivated to do your crappy jobs and do it for less. Think of it as insourcing.

Timmmy, I'm one of those MBAs that losers like you blame for the financial crisis, even though it's not true and it's just one of the myths you losers tell yourselves. Nonetheless, the possibility of the likes of you replacing me is nil. My resume takes shits better than your resume.

404 "You watch too much tv, MBA flag-waver. You get angry on message boards. Ergo, you're a loser. Just like the Magic Mormon and the rest of your sad little party. You. Lose.

And for the record, an MBA is nothing to be particularly proud of. Roughly 200K are awarded each year. So maybe after your MBA takes a shit, you can use the worthless paper that its printed on to wipe your ass.

Ha.Ha.Ha.

Posted by: Timmmy at November 09, 2012 09:17 PM (F1YLQ)"

Ha, a douchebag who goes ga-ga over Obama the JD, of which even more than the number of MBAs are awarded, has the nads to denigrate an MBA. If MBAs are worthless, JDs are less than worthless, dumbfuck. And before you say "Obama went to Harvard", my b-school has been rated higher than HBS many, many times.

Yeah, my MBA is so worthless that I've been in the top income tax bracket since I earned it a decade ago. Funny way of being worthless.

I'm the one whose taxes keep your worthless hide alive. I expect some fucking appreciation. Actually, I don't because experience has shown me that scum like you are lower than dogs. At least dogs don't bite the hands that feed them.

It's OK, though, because the time is coming when the cost of paying the taxes to support society is no longer worth the benefits. That's when the Pinochets of the world become valuable. Careful you don't "disappear" now.

409 Ace you total moron you. Congress has subpoena'd the head of the CIA. As of today, that's not Petraeus. If Congress wants Petraeus, it can go through the process for a subpoena to issue for Petraeus personally. That's the system, and that's ALWAYS BEEN the system, no matter who is the president. You know this, Ace. So, you're lying to and misleading the morons.

410 I'm convinced that part of why this occurred this way is so that the GOP is FORCED to subpeona him so it looks like he's being hounded by them. So it looks like just another Republican witch hunt. Which means that media can ignore it.

Yep, I don't think trolls like timmmy actually understand the depth of hatred toward their kind at this point in history. They seem to think that snark is some kind of shield against a bullet to the head.

Somebody said upon resignation he loses his security clearance and can not testify. I assume the new head could give him clearance.

 

Did Sandra Fluke have security clearance?

415 I don't know whaat can be done about this debacle but I'll never believe this baloney about an affair. It'ss too damn convenient. Obamas' administration has been the most corrupt grroup I've seen in my voting lifetime. I can't remember any administration having so many questionable characters. It's like a movie. Something has to be done.

417 "That's why "Let it Burn" is the right solution at this point.

Our best bet is for him to collapse the system whether intentionally or not, and then politically organize when the public gets angry. "

...and BINGO was his name-o.  Experience is the best teacher.  50%+ of the nation are going to have to experience the consequences of their decisions.  And Republicans/conservatives should just hang back and wait for the ones who wake up to seek us out.  And there will be plenty when the time comes.  In 2 years you won't be able to find one person who will admit to voting for Barry.  Hell, in this election, Barry won PA and around here you couldn't find a yard sign in his favor.  They may have voted for him, but they don't want you knowing that.
