The biographer for resigning CIA Director David Petraeus is under FBI investigation for improperly trying to access his email and possibly gaining access to classified information, law enforcement officials told NBC News on Friday.

Paula Broadwell is the author of Petraeus' biography, "All In." She had extensive access to Petraeus in Afghanistan and has given numerous television interviews speaking about him.

Petraeus resigned Friday, citing an extramarital affair. The woman involved was not identified.

Next they’ll be telling us she produced an anti-Islam video.

Put this bitch in prison Barack. That’s what you do these days. Just get it over with stretch.

Who is next, some guy that doesn’t agree with gun control? Perhaps it will be someone who doesn’t like you selling our diplomats out. Perhaps it will be Christian pastors.

The purge is on. All hail the Islamic Caliphate in the U. S.

Not identified?

She even slyly admitted what happened on the cover of the book.

John Bachelor just reporting on Larry Kudlow’s show that Petraus didn’t want to testify under oath & used affair as an excuse to avoid it. He want’s under oath when he first said the youtube video was the source of the embassy riot.

He had an affair. Because those things can lead to blackmail, he had to resign. He did the right thing.

He was widely known as a man of integrity, prior to this. I still think he was. If he resigned to avoid testifying under oath, that is more behavior I would expect of a political coward, not a military hero. I think it more likely that someone threatened to out him about his affair if he didn’t slant his testimony to benefit Obama. So he resigned and outed himself. If so, he can now testify and rebuild his integrity.

He gave her access, she gave him “access”. He needs to be in prison!

His affair explains why Betrayus was in the tank for Obama on the lies
He spouted about the video. Obama had leverage on him.
