on the repub side that would have canceled this out, but has not surfaced yet. If Cantor could have gotton something out of this, he would have used it, the Nation's security be damned.

What if he would have somehow hurt HIS reelection efforts? That can be about the only reason I can see him keeping this to himself unless he didn't want to hurt fellow republic Patraeus.

I seem to recall Cheney bragging about having close connections to insiders...I don't recall how that slipped out, but have always wondered how much he knows and how often he has used it in his sneaky "Plame" way since leaving office.

Does he still get information/briefings? If so, I'm sure his daughter and wife would also be able to peruse them.

Obviously, I don't trust anyone from that abode.

a lot of departments and made civil service employees right before B/C left office? I hope I'm remembering that correctly.

You also answered my question of why Obama would allow this, but now I remember how they worked that.

Cheney thought he'd have access to a good deal of the workings so he could monitor.

How long is the guarantee on that machine of his? Is he on his second or third year?

before Director Clapper (Petraeus boss) bothered to tell the President I think he needs to be removed as well.

but since he is, why is he?

It was to get Ryan the VP slot... Romney wanted the General.

Ryan was tapped in August. Wow, that's a long time.

Knew about the investigation for "some months".

This is pure speculation at this point, but, release of the information now may be an indication of a hissyfit in the former Romney camp to the effect, "You made us take Ryan! If we had the General we wuddah won! Waaaa!", or something.

Makes sense, tho.

I'm sure he will try to get to the bottom of it.

I have been thinking about this since I read it. Dave Reichert is the guy who worked on green river killer case for over 20 years and finally caught the guy. That's why he is popular here. He has a ton of friends and contacts in FBI.

I mentioned that in another thread.

Reichert is the GRK leadn detective. Dude has always liked having his face on teevee. And he certainly knows many, many people in the FBI.

Interesting to follow out his connection to all this. Why pass this on to Cantor? What a weird decision.

maybe he thought it would help them, they are both republicans. Maybe he thought it would help the election go their way...

Trying to locate email or web page for Mary Schneider, whistle blower on 911. can anyone assist? posted Web links are not connecting. I am new to this forum, DU.
