Petraeus Other Woman - Jill Kelley

An ex State Department Military Liasion, now lives in Florida.

She got the threats from Paula

From the venerable NY Daily News

A senior U.S. military official says the author who had an affair with David Petraeus sent harassing emails to a woman who was the State Department's liaison to the military's Joint Special Operations Command.
The official says 37-year-old Jill Kelley in Tampa, Fla., received the emails from Petraeus biographer Paula Broadwell that triggered an FBI investigation.
The official was not authorized to discuss the case publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Another person who knows Kelley and Petraeus confirmed their friendship and said she saw him often.
Petraeus quit as CIA director last week after acknowledging an extramarital relationship with a woman — later identified as Broadwell.
The FBI probe began several months ago with a complaint against Broadwell. That investigation led to Broadwell's email account, which uncovered the relationship with Petraeus.

The FBI, the House leadership/staff, and now the military is leaking all over the place.

It is no wonder that leaks have been a problem for this administration - too many people are working their own agenda.

I'm sure the President before he took office. Afterall, he was a US senator. However, in Obama's administration, they prosecute leakers big time. Of course, they can't do that to Congresspeeps and senators IN MOST CASES.

I was just talking to someone about Patreus and how he was regarded in the military. It isn't pretty but many were afraid to speak up.
Patreus had some powerful protectors which may explain why the FBI kept their investigation secret.

Petraeus to CIA in the first place.

I hope POTUS Obama is much wiser in his appointments during his 2nd term.

loyalist and I believe many of us warned about that but were slapped down and told what a great choice it was. Bad enough to have hired him for Iraq and Afghanistan, but then to appoint him as head of the CIA? A Bush Guy?

'Betrayus', remember how the DLCers were outraged over us calling him that?

And I have a question. Is there no Democrat in the entire country who could not have been appointed to these positions given to Petraeas?

Anyone, never mind the CIA chief, who does not know that you do not conduct personal business, like having an affair, through email. That has to be one of the most stupid things ANYONE can do, whether they are a top CIA guy or just a regular guy cheating on his wife.

To think we were told how brilliant this guy was.

The election is over, so hey, we gotta fill up the time leading up to Black Friday and Christmas tunes 24/7 and our constant bemoaning of the crass consumerism of the holiday season. What more do you want to kill a few weeks than a juicy Republican CIA Director sex scandal accompanied with Doom and Gloom prophecies of our imminent financial demise?!

Get with the program Seabeyond!

Note this part of the post

Kelley has a twin sister named Natalie Khawam, a lawyer dedicated to "successfully representing whistleblowers."

If I were Holly Petraeus, I wouldn't go NEAR that disgusting man.

I'd let him fuck every ho he could find. And he would NEVER TOUCH ME again. No hug. No kiss. No emergency choke hold. LET. ME. DIE.

And I wouldn't dare divorce the fucker either...because they live on her inherited property.

Let him die of some undiagnosed venereal disease.

But, I WOULD call and warn the married partners of his playmates.

OK, rant over.
