Cantor Investigation

How come the Dems haven't brought up investigating into why Cantor was notified about Jill's emails/Petreaus/gf stuff before Feinstein found out about it (on TV in an interview yet)? There's an intimation that there was a some sort of political plot afoot.

There was probably no plot, but it could influence Cantor into voting for high income tax increases. It could be called blackmail but there there is a real question that should be answered.

However, Democrats tend not be the some reverse "mirror image" of Republicans.

It seems pretty well established that a rogue agent came to Cantor of his own volition to provide information which the rogue agent believed Cantor could use politically.

Remarkably, for perhaps the first and only time in his life, Cantor did exactly what he should have done - inform the Director of the rogue agent and the information and keep his trap shut.
