I'll bet the FBI's collective heads exploded when they discovered one was from the CIA wifi.
Easy as pie if the FBI thinks a cyber crime is being committed.
I bet the FBI already knew that they were having an affair when they did a security check on Petraeus being vetted for the CIA director’s position. I understand Petraeus went through many security checks through his career and like Judge Jeanine said, when the FBI does a security check on you, they know how many times your dog pees each day.
Kelley may not have gone to Petraeus because she found out about the affair and wanted to expose him. So she sent the threatening emails to herself to get the FBI involved so they would discover the affair. At this point most anything is possible.
KT McFarland confirms this. The FBI and WH knew EIGHTEEN MONTHS ago that Petraeus had an affair.
Notes on interview on Judge Jeanine Sat night with KT McFarland (national security commentator and personal friend of Petraeus)
She said 18 months ago Petraeus would have had an investigation and a polygraph (for CIA Director) from the FBI. The FBI and WH (because file would go to WH Personnel office) knew then about the affair.
She said in spring of 2011 when she was in Afghanistan there were definitely rumors (about the affair) from a number of people.
She also said that when senior official testifies before Congress, they submit their testimony to the WH. If they didnt like what Petraeus was going to say....

The case shows just how easy it is to discover the personal connections that can unmask anonymous parties. But the Petraeus affair is as much an outlier as an exemplar. The FBI rarely, if ever, gets involved when one person is harassing another online.Im not aware of any case when the FBI has gotten involved in a case of online harassment, Justin Patchin, an associate professor of criminal justice at the University of Wisconin-Eau Claire, said. The FBI definitely wouldnt get involved in your Joe Schmoe love triangle.
The affair began to unravel after the Florida woman, Jill Kelley, contacted an FBI friend after receiving threatening and harassing emails from an anonymous person who accused her of flirting with a man who was not identified in the emails. Kelley is a volunteer social planner for events at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, which is home to the militarys Central Command. Petraeus was commander of CENTCOM from 2008 to 2010, when he left to take his position as head of the CIA. Source

According to WSJ, we learn several facts I havent seen before:
The FBI investigation began with five to 10 emails beginning around May and received by Ms. Kelley,
Petraeus used a pseudonym to establish [g-mail acct]
They matched the places, including hotels, where Ms. Broadwell was during the times the emails were sent.
Some appeared to be accusing her of an inappropriate relationship but didnt name Mr. Petraeus. Agents determined the emails were sent from an account shared by Ms. Broadwell and her husband
During Ms. Broadwells first interview in September, she admitted to the affair and turned over her computer
On her computer, investigators found classified documents,
The affair ended more than four months ago, though Mr. Petraeus continued to advise Ms. Broadwell on her research
Here is J.Jeanine’s video!
Thx.
yes I saw that video too. That Judge Jeanine is on the ball! Like her show.
Obama Lied, Denied and People Died!
Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods Christopher Stevens Sean Smith...... are these Americans still dead? Does anyone really care?
Does Broadwell claim that while having sex, Petraeus would make jungle noises and scream, “Who’s you daddy now?” Will we ever get to the bottom of this?
Did anyone get murdered because of Fast & Furious? It’s been so long it’s hard to remember.
Did Petraeus and Broadwell wear Superhero costumes during sex?? When will we know all of the steamy details.... will there be a movie??
Remember what happened to Linda Tripp.
“Jill Kelley biography: Tampa housewife whose complaint to the FBI brought the downfall of David Petraeus”
Some interesting little tidbits in this article:
“She is also reported to have been invited to a breakfast at the White House.”
“Military sources say that Jill Kelley was frequently seen in David Petraeus company at social events held at Central Command headquarters.”
“In recognition of her work with officials at CENTCOM, Jill Kelley was recently named as a honorary consulate general to South Korea.”
If the FBI knew of Patraeus’s affair after vetting him for the CIA director position, why did they have to wait and just by coincidence investigate a privates’ citizen’s email to ask for Patraeus’s resignation and to have him resign right after the election and week before testimony of the Bengahazi attack?
“...If the FBI knew of Patraeuss affair after vetting him for the CIA director position, why did they have to wait and just by coincidence investigate a privates citizens email to ask for Patraeuss resignation and to have him resign right after the election and week before testimony of the Bengahazi attack?...”
Because “The Boss” said so. What other reason could there be?
Has the beginning of the affair been reported as to when it actually started?
Only approximately.
