    Republican Leader Knew About Petraeus Affair Before Election

    Republican Leader Knew About Petraeus Affair Before Election

    Takes partisan edge out of investigations

    House Majority Leader Eric Cantor says he was told in late October about allegations that then-CIA Director David Petraeus was having an extramarital affair, AP reports. The GOP lawmaker said his office was notified about the charges from an FBI employee.

    Communications Director Rory Cooper told AP that the Virginia Republican informed the FBI's chief of staff of the conversation, but did not tell anyone else because he did not know whether the information from an unknown source was credible. Petraeus resigned last week as the nation's top spy because of the affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell.

    The Patraeus scandal has led to conspiracy theories from conservative quarters that the former four-star general's resignation from the CIA was timed to prevent testimony about the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. But the Republican leader's knowledge of the Petraeus investigation undermines that.
    Ira Kravitz, a Tokyo-based musician, tweeted: "Love how Fox News tried to portray the Petraeus situation as a conspiracy... until they found out Eric Cantor knew."

    NewYorker.com Editor Nicholas Thompson put it this way: "Is it possible that the only person who behaved well in this was Eric Cantor?"

    The concern is that an affair could leave the person open to blackmail. Looks like they were right. JMO
