The whole thing about Petraeus and his showing up at a bunch of right wing meetings that summer and the clear screw up of the CIA in the Benghazi mess smells a lot. 3 CIA guys got killed there, too. A lot of people at the CIA have not forgotten that, either. Petraeus got to retire with a little egg on his face over the affair, and he went real quiet, so he knows that something much more serious could have come out of it for him.

Petraeus needs to butter up HRC any way he can, because she was clearly infuriated that her friend was killed. He is probably shaking in his boots about HRC as president, she will not forget what happened to her friend.

People saying he wants the VP spot is a laugh. He just hopes to keep his pension after 2016. It will not be forgotten how she had to keep quiet about what happened. Is there a statute of limitations for treason?
