Keeping Brennan as CIA Director = Triumph of Secret Government

23. Here's a bit of "Creative Speculation"

Remember the extramarital affair with the female military officer scandal that forced Gen. Patraeus to resign?

My Creative Speculation is: Petraeus's affair was outed by the discovery of the e-mails exchanged between him and the Military Officer. At the time that seemed like someone was spying on him. And, then he resigns opening the door for Brennan to step in. If Brennan or Clapper had anything to do with Petraeus affair outing...then that would be another one of his "dirty deeds" which needs investigating. I wasn't a fan of Petraeus and think he should have resigned (given what was revealed and his past history)...but, if it was due to Brennan & Clapper spying on Petraeus then it needs to come out that they might have spied on him for their own gain/agenda and not to save the CIA from the scandal of a Director who was having an extramarital affair who could make him a blackmail candidate.

From the article:

When Brennan’s predecessor, Gen. David Petraeus, resigned as head of the CIA, it was for having a secret extramarital lover whose very existence made him a potential subject of blackmail — a clear no-no for head of an intelligence agency.
