Because the Obama administration, thinking they wanted to question the Director of the CIA, not the former Director of the CIA, thought they'd send the current Director of the CIA to testify, they may also have felt they couldn't tell him to testify since he no longer was the Director of the CIA.
In conservative reality, this means that the Obama administration was refusing his testomony on #Benghazi, not to mention that it makes it look like it's a conspiracy against the former Director of Central Intelligence. You know, a honey trap being sprung to stop him from spilling the beans.
It's not unlike the birther nonsense, wherein a very basic premise was that someone had conspired to get this non-US citizen elected president some four decades after his birth, and therefore forged a new identity for #BHO. Obviously, it made a lot of sense to pick a kid from Kenya, make him a new identity as a US citizen, and frankly giving him less than perfect living conditions, and hedging all bets on getting him elected President..
Yeah. So in the same spirit, the Obama administration got Peatreaus to have an affair with a woman a year ago so that they could stop him from testifying on #Benghazi now.
Makes perfect sense. #TCOT
