Just saw this at Politico...nowhere else.

It appears the whistleblower contacted Cantor first...the he relayed it to the FBI
Ready for some wing nut head explosions in the morning?
This was a late Saturday news dump...how convenient.
I am sure Drudge will be updating his headline soon...?
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor spoke to an FBI whistle-blower two weeks ago who accused then-CIA Director David Petraeus of having an extramarital affair and potentially jeopardizing the security of classified information, according to a news report.
Cantor’s chief of staff, Steve Stombres, later spoke with FBI officials to pass on the accusations from the whistle-blower, the New York Times reported on Saturday night.
Cantor’s involvement in the Petraeus scandal is the first indication that anyone outside of the FBI knew Petraeus was under scrutiny for an extramarital relationship or potentially leaking classified information.
More below the copulating treble clefs.... CTC's as I prefer to call them
Oh I can't get enough of the wingnut head explosions....
Just when they recovered from Tuesday...they get a brief flash of light with the Petraeus resignation...the conspiracy theories have been building...over at Drudge the headline read What else are they hiding?
They were so ready for the return of the evil libruls and then wham..nope sorry..
Was your top guy who outed him...
Hahahahahahahahaha
So now the tables are turned once again...
Hmmmm what were the Republicans trying to hide?
Why did they feel the had to silence him a few days prior to the Bengazi hearing?
What Else Are They Trying To Hide?
Update
From Camussie in the comments...clarification re the informants..there were 2...
1) First informant - seems to be the potential second mistress who Broadwell was threatening and she went to the FBI MONTHS ago. She didn't go to Cantor FIRST like you implied. In fact Cantor has NEVER talked to her. The FBI started an investigation based on her allegations
2) Second informant/leaker- FBI employee who went to Cantor TWO WEEKS ago about the ongoing investigation. Wanted to make sure Republican leadership knew about the investigation and it seems like wanted them to make it an election issue. Cantor didn't play
Update 2
For those wondering why the FBI got involved
They were concerned it was a
Honeypot scheme.
Every military employee is warned of these.
