He has been characterized as wanting to rush the story ‘in order to embarrass the President’.

Another way to say it is that he was concerned the FBI probe into Petraeus’ affair had been stalled for political reasons (the election).

The people spreading the shirtless story are purposely leaving out the important details. I am not talking about the media. Yes, the media is reporting something that sounds sensational.

The people telling that part of the story to the media are trying to discredit him. There is no other reason to tell the story that way.

Again, this agent has known the Kelley family for years and the picture was sent to Kelley and her husband long before the harassing emails in question were received. Leaving out that detail is an attempt to discredit this individual.
