If the FBI and Attorney General Eric Holder did not need to tell President Obama about David Petraeus’s affair in September and October because there was no risk to national security, then why did Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Jr., who was General Petraeus’s boss, tell General Petraeus in November that he needed to resign? And why did President Obama accept his resignation?
If General Petraeus needed to resign in November, then the President needed to be told in September. If the President did not need to be told in September, then General Petraeus did not need to resign in November.
