DONALD SENSING: Petraeus and Broadwell: The FBI circles the wagons. “There is nothing here deserving of the media attention it is getting (which should be redirected now directly upon the FBI itself, not the principals) or deserving of the expenditure of investigator man hours and resources being expended on it. Does one smell the aroma of a US attorney general ordering the FBI to make sure that this non-issue stays the lead story as Congress prepares to hear testimony about the Benghazi attacks?”

But with John Kerry and Sheldon Whitehouse being dragged in, this scandal may get so big that it has to fade away quickly. . . . “A spokeswoman for Kerry – who the Washington Post reports is being considered as President Obama’s next secretary of defense — had no immediate comment.”
