somthin….

I don ‘t know.

who cares about what Cantor knew?

I actually don’t get why this isn’t a bigger part of the story. An FBI investigator, who hadn’t found anything criminal in his investigation, but uncovered the affair as a byproduct of it, leaked it to Rep. Dave Reichert, who had him next leak it to Eric Cantor. This wasn’t someone whistle-blowing to the heads of the intelligence committees, or informing the DNI, this was someone involved in an classified investigation leaking details of a sexual affair, involving the head the CIA, to a couple of uber-partisans on the Hill.

Does this FBI investigator have some sort of relationship w/ Reichert where he routinely leaks the most personal of information on members of our government? ‘Seems like some scrutiny of that relationship may be in order.
