The Libya incident may have morphed into a far more serious investigation. The main stream media ignored the obvious cover-up of the Libya incident by the Obama administration. They are still ignoring the issue regarding the lack of security at our consulate in Libya and they are still yawning about the Susan Rice ‘let’s lie about everything act.” But, it turns out that the sudden resignation of General David Petraeus has added a whole new element. This added a little sex and suddenly the main stream media is actually doing some investigation. The following report from the Washington Post is extremely important:
It is clear that General Petraeus did give classified information to Broadwell:
“Broadwell turned over her computer to the FBI in late summer, and agents discovered that it contained low-level classified material. On Nov. 12, the FBI searched her home in Charlotte and carried away additional evidence that she had classified documents, law enforcement officials said.”
This means the FBI knew there were national security implications last summer. It looks like the FBI and the Department of Justice were willing to ignore a very serious breech of security, as long as General Petraeus was a good boy. There were no new developments that suddenly created an urgent need to have Petraeus resign, other than the fact that he was about to testify before congress. Suddenly, he had to go. Even the Washington Post, long used to holding it’s nose at scandals involving the Obama administration can no longer ignore the odor.
The point is that the hunt is on. These stories don’t develop over night. They develop when serious investigators start peeling back the onion. It took a long time for Watergate to develop. But what happened is that once people started looking, they kept finding more and more interesting things. If the Obama administration has conducted a systemic cover-up of Fast & Furious and the Libya fiasco it cannot survive this kind of sustained investigation. So far Obama has responded to any hint of investigation of anything with arrogance and anger. How dare you investigate me is the standard Obama response. That worked for along time, but it isn’t working this time.
In the meantime, it is interesting to watch as the squirm turns.
