what you have "heard" or think that you have heard, and you may be correct in your assumption that this is some gigantic conspiracy theory gone wrong.
I tend to believe that the FBI sat on this until after the election (for reasons known only to them), and that the relationship between the General and the "other woman" may or may not have been purely sexual. I just honestly do not have enough evidence or information to make an informed guess at what the real story may be, and I doubt very much that either the MSM or Congress does either.
I also tend to believe that Occam's Razor applies to most occurrences, barring contradictory evidence.

Somehow I don't think that the MIRT knowledge with respect to identities is shared with others.
