Was CIA Director Petraeus Brought Down By His Own Bodyguards And Vengeful CIA Agents?

EXCLUSIVE: David Petraeus Was Brought Down After Betrayal By Vengeful CIA Agents And His Own Bodyguards Who Made Sure His Affair Was Exposed, Claims New Book -- Daily Mail

* Brandon Webb, a former Navy SEAL, and Jack Murphy, a former Green Beret, reveal the new claims in their book 'Benghazi: The Definitive Report'
* Petraeus was humiliated after a 'palace coup' by high-level intelligence officers who did not like the way he was running the CIA, authors say
* The book also claims that Petraeus and Ambassador Chris Stevens were caught off guard by Benghazi consulate attack because they weren't briefed about on-going U.S. military operations in Libya
* Webb and Murphy say Benghazi attack was a retaliation for secret raids authorized by Obama security adviser John Brennan

David Petraeus was betrayed by his own bodyguards and vengeful high-ranking enemies in the CIA, who made sure his affair with his biographer was exposed to the public, a new book claims.

MailOnline can reveal a new angle on the story that rocked Washington last fall. It comes from two retired special operations commandos - a Navy SEAL and a Green Beret - who say they discovered a plot against the former CIA director while doing research about the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Update
: Was Petraeus Taken Out by a CIA Palace Coup? -- NRO

My Comment: The book's suggestion that the Benghazi consulate attack was actually an act of revenge that targeted U.S. special operations is news that I had posted before .... but there never was .... and still is .... no corroborative evidence for these accusations. As for the Petraeus "CIA palace coup" .... now that is an interesting theory .... but I need more proof.
