I think Petraeus should be made to testify, resigned or not & Cantor

He did make a trip to investigate, so let's hear it. His mistress should testify to verify that she knew nothing about Benghazi. So should that Jill Kelley to find out what Paula emailed her about. May as well, as long as we're clearing it up...

I'd like to see Hillary as head of State testify too, mainly to clear her. Too messy and I would not like to see her involved after all the work she's done...

It doesn't bother me if the hearing were to be closed, so long as officials from BOTH parties hear their stories and agree that there is no wrong doing.

Eric Cantor should be called too - he knew about the cheating, and it's a national security thing. He's guilty already...

Remember some years ago when the CON$ were defending him?

Seems like now they're in a position where they have to attack and demonize him.

We already told them he was no good...YEARS ago.

If I were the powers that be, and I thought he had any information that might be prevalent, I would not leave him unwatched for one minute, until this whole thing blows over. Mark my words. Do not leave him around any coils of rope or unsheathed swords.

.....and how could you possibly know that "NOBODY thinks that Petraus is a suicide risk", except me?? Are you some kind of omnipotent oracle? I don't mean to be cruel, but you really do have to be seriously demented to infer anything of that nature.
