Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
Sorry, I'm not that gullible.
The WashPost article over the weekend said she spent a lot of time in Afghanistan and was basically out of control, wearing tight outfits, etc. His adies smelled trouble from the getgo. She had "unusual" access, even thoiugh she had no previous journalistic or literary experience.
I don't know when this started, but it seems awfully convenient that it was all after he was out from under the UCMJ. That still leaves the little matter of the Director of Central Intelligence having a secret affair with an obviously unstable woman.
Then there is the question of why it took the FBI so long to uncover a few emails, if they actually expect us to believe that. Or why Eric Cantor would learn the DCI was engaged in such an obviously inappropriate situation yet do nothing for a month.
And of course, the big question is if he lied to congress, another crime. And if he was being blackmailed to do so, a potentially impeachable offense.
The thing I find very interesting is that the two parties are finally working together in a bipartisan fashion to cover this up.
