Quick question for all you right wingers on the board. You've been bitching about the FBI director knowing about Petraeus' affair, yet not saying anything about it until after the election.
Cantor knew about it on October 27th, and yet did nothing, why aren't you calling for his skull as well? Because apparently Cantor knew about it before Mueller.

Cantor knew about it on October 27th, and yet did nothing, why aren't you calling for his skull as well? Because apparently Cantor knew about it before Mueller.
Because Petraeus' name was involved, criminal investigators kept an open eye for potential national security violations. They had to investigate Broadwell's background but found no evidence she was a spy.
But House Majority Leader Eric Cantor knew of Petraeus' affair with Broadwell almost two weeks before the former CIA director resigned his post.
A senior Cantor aide told ABC News that the Republican congressman from Virginia learned about the FBI investigation that brought the affair to light in a phone conversation with an FBI agent Oct. 27.
Cantor then asked his chief-of-staff to pass the information along to the head of the FBI, Robert Mueller. Cantor spoke to no one else about the investigation, the aide said.
Hurricane Sandy delayed the message to Mueller until Oct. 31. Petraeus admitted the extramarital relationship and submitted his resignation nine days later.
