David Petraeus

Extramarital affairs are rarely that surprising these days, but when the alleged cheater is a decorated general and head of the CIA, we take note. Just weeks before he was scheduled to testify about the events leading up to the attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, General David Petraeus was investigated over an affair with his biographer. Conservative pundits suggested that Petraeus tipped off the press to "fall on his sword" and avoid having to reveal damning evidence on Benghazi.
