Petraeus investigation ensnares commander of U.S., NATO troops in Afghanistan

The FBI probe into the sex scandal that prompted CIA Director David Petraeus to resign has expanded to ensnare Gen. John R. Allen, the commander of U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan, the Pentagon announced early Tuesday.

According to a senior U.S. defense official, the FBI has uncovered between 20,000 and 30,000 pages of documents — most of them e-mails — that contain “potentially inappropriate” communication between Allen and Jill Kelley, the 37-year-old Tampa woman whose report of harassment by a person who turned out to be Petraeus’s mistress ...


The Poop: Petraeus’s mistress (Paula Broadwell, writer of a glowing biography of the General) by email threatens Jill Kelley, a family friend of the CIA Director.

Kelly reports it to the Director, and to a friend in the FBI. Petraeus dumps his mistress (from a private GMail account -the CIA Director- that contain *sex-mails* between the 2!), and tells Paula to quit harassing Jill Kelly. The FBI, this being the CIA Director, and all(!), launches a quiet investigation of the harassment of Kelly.

That *friend* in the FBI, being a good little Republican fascist Special Agent, feeling the Untied States Department of Justice was dragging their feet in the investigation, goes *rouge* and contacts a GOP House member. Said GOP House member passes this little nugget to Eric Cantor, House Republican Conniving Worm.

Oh. And the *friend* in the FBI? The guy who went *rouge*? He emailed topless photos of himself to Jill Kelly .... who had "between 20,000 and 30,000 pages of documents" with General Allen, who, it so happens, was scheduled to become NATO's Supreme Allied Commander in January.

And Paula Broadwell? On Oct26, she claimed " ... the Benghazi consulate was a CIA rendition site for Libyan militia, and the attacks were some type of jihadist retribution or counter-op to free terrorist hostages..." implying the CIA Director knew all about it.

Eric Cantor, House Republican Conniving Worm, is not talking.

I can understand why the Army would be pissed, this woman potentially blew her way to classified information. At least Lewinsky was just an intern, as bad as that sounds.....

The potential for abuse or leaks were a little higher in this case, which is why Im all for teh firing and example setting. If there are rules about having an affair in the army they were put there for a reason.

And subpoena him now so everyone knows what the score is. Patreus you done f*cked up and now you are going to have to pay for it.

Apparently Obama was holding this over his head to get a favorable response about the embassy attack. Someone blew the whistle to avoid that outcome.

People died. We need to know the truth.

Jumping to conclusions there.

Not really as there was insider information about this and a previous history of this happening over this specific incident. The election is over and there is no need for this anymore. Why would something like this come up days after the election when it happened many, many months ago and was already known about? Mind you, he was supposed to testify before the election at that.
 
Please stop entertaining the Petraeus scandal crap!

See it for what it is!

Classic Democrat political slight of hand.

This is intended to be a distraction from the attack on the Benghazi Consulate and the continuing Congressional hearings.

Keep focus on the real issues and do not be distracted by the shiny buttons and beads!

What I'm saying is that the sex scandal cover up was to get a positive remark from the general in favor of Obama pre-election. Since that was put on hold prior to the election, now the playing field has changed.

Don't quite care about the sex scandal. I'm wondering about the dead people.

Isnt the fact that he is testifying at the Benghazi case enough?

He got caught putting his dick in places it shouldnt have been, its a shame that news channels loves this type of story.

Turns out the chick who started this whole process is in debt for over 1.5 million. Sounds like she is just trying to make some money of this. I seriously doubt this is part of a coverup, the hearings and testifying is going to happen either way.

We was to testify before the election in a good light. He is now testifying after the election in a bad light.

Would you not agree it would be beneficial for Obama, prior to the election, if someone like Petraus had positive things to say about how Obama handled the situation?

With the election over, it really doesn't matter as it won't affect the vote.

Conspiracy theory. Unless you have proof contrary then you are imagining a situation to fit the narrative.

I think you guys have been on a real kick lately with the jumping to conclusions, do you remember what happened to the boy who cried wolf?

Where is the information that the FBI already knew about Petreus months ago?

Read an article on it. They affair was over a long time ago and the FBI already did the investigation. It is just now coming to light.

Funny how we know all about this, have a time line and everything including knowing all the players.. yet we still don't know crap about Libya.

So let me get this straight the narrative you two believe is that the president, via the FBI knew about Patreus's affair and decided to force him into saying positive things about the administration, and then knowingly didnt stop Benghazi, and then used that influence over Patreus to keep him quiet until after the election where the info accidentally slipped out?

Yep.... Seems perfectly logical.... If the president were some sort of Bond villain, or at least a Lannister.

He then forwarded the information to his counterparts in the FBI who eventually discovered the affair. You are manipulating information to suit your theory.

I am okay with finding out the truth.These lousy Republicans want something to hang over Obama's head especially that old fart John M.It is always something with them. It never ends!

No. I get the feeling Obama didn't want to act on Benghazi and stopped Petreus from acting. It turned out bad. Obama knew about the affair and in order to get favorable remarks over his screw up, held that over his head prior to the election. Well, now that he testified after the election, Obama doesn't care. He won. It came out, Petraeus said some very different things than what the Administration has been saying. Interesting, head of CIA has one version, Administration a completely different one. How can that be when Obama and Petraeus meet directly, in person, daily, and both have two different stories?

Doesn't matter. Obama is in, he's out. Obama wins, Americans die, Petraeus, an amazing leader, is out over an affair, not for his inactions in attempting to save American lives. How screwed up is that? Let someone die you can stay in office, have an affair and you're out.

Let me get this straight, Obama and Petraeus were meeting BEFORE the attack? That is the only way your narrative makes sense, that is if Petraeus and Obama had secret dealings before the attack. You are saying Obama didn't act on Benghazi which I can only construe as saying he didn't do enough before the attack, after the attack had begun it was already going to end badly. Then he held the affair over his head when the FBI were the ones investigating? Petreaus decided to come out and say he had an affair after the election anyways but in reality he knew it was going to come out regardless. So he could of just done it before the election anyways because it was inevitable but decided to wait until after. Damn, conspiracy theories sure do boggle the mind.
