FBI Agent in Petraeus Case Under Scrutiny

EXCERPT

The FBI agent who started the case was a friend of Jill Kelley, the Tampa woman who received harassing, anonymous emails that led to the probe, according to officials. Ms. Kelley, a volunteer who organizes social events for military personnel in the Tampa area, complained in May about the emails to a friend who is an FBI agent. That agent referred it to a cyber crimes unit, which opened an investigation.

However, supervisors soon became concerned that the initial agent might have grown obsessed with the matter, and prohibited him from any role in the investigation, according to the officials.

The FBI officials found that he had sent shirtless pictures of himself to Ms. Kelley, according to the people familiar with the probe.

That same agent, after being barred from the case, contacted a member of Congress, Washington Republican David Reichert, because he was concerned senior FBI officials were going to sweep the matter under the rug, the officials said. That information was relayed to top congressional officials, who notified FBI headquarters in Washington.

This may start a whole new rash of Anthony Weiner threads!

Could be preemptive move to shut the agent up.

Either way all the sex sells papers and gets attention. The People magazine crowd will now learn about Benghazi.

Maggief...with the CIA, nothing is as it appears (yes, I know the subject of this story is FBI...but Petraeus is CIA).

This is all being orchestrated for public consumption.

Think ahead. Either this story is as the press is making it out...or...what.

Think about it.

Me thinks the media should have looked into Ms. Kelley’s family background and finances, but I digress.

So here’s the deal. Mrs. Kelley is a drop-dead babe. Fact. The mistress saw her as a “threat”. The FBI “friend” came onto her.

This poor woman can’t win for losing.

If this were a movie, only Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau could get to the bottom of it.

They don’t think. They just stand up and point.

So we’ll maybe soon find out why Kelly got a criminal lawyer when she’s supposed to be the innocent victim.

THis is getting to terminal velocity.

Even the lame stream media won’t be able to protect Obuma.
