FBI Agent in Petraeus Case Under Scrutiny
Wall Street Journal ^ | November 12, 2012 | DEVLIN BARRETT, EVAN PEREZ and SIOBHAN GORMAN

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.

Wait, what! This isn’t getting STUPID, it is STUPID!

Who cares what they were doing under or for that matter on top of the desK??? This is looking like a three card monte..

What else is going on with the Obama Adm, while we are reading dumb emails from a ho, to a wannabe ho...
With all that is going around why is the friggin FBI reading emails from two women in the first place??

This is a fog machine.. is someone watching the store?

... I have been reading about Jill (Khawam) Kelley and her twin sister Natalie Khawam today myself. Very interesting family indeed.

Kelley is seen with Petraeus and his wife Holly in 2010. (From L to R) Natalie Khawam, Gen. David Petraeus, Dr. Scott Kelley, his wife Jill Kelley and Holly Petraeus, the wife of Gen. David Petraeus, watching the Gasparilla parade from the comfort of tent on the Kelleys front lawn on Jan. 30. 2010, in Tampa, Fla.

I’m hearing some public record searches in FL, DC and VA might provide some background.

More like, ‘Who do you think you are? … You parade around the base … You need to take it down a notch,’” according to the source, who was until recently at the highest levels of the intelligence community and prefers not to be identified by name

Gee, I wonder who that might be (or is supposed to be)

Why was Panetta moved from head of CIA?? Did Obama know that Petraeus had affairs and thus was blackmailable???

"Chadbourne & Parke white-collar criminal defense heavyweight Abbe Lowell has joined the fray surrounding the resignation of Central Intelligence Agency director David Petraeus, who stepped down Friday in light of the Federal Bureau of Investigation revealing that Petraeus had an extramarital affair with his biographer."

From the article linked to here on FR.

Was part of John Edwards defense most recently and on the Clinton defense team during impeachment.

Americans are being PLAYED.
This has been a coup d'etat against the Constitution
and NOBODY is arrested yet. Instead, those who
took down the World Trade Center and Pentagon
[their names CAANNOT EVEN be mentioned]
run our country, and THEY, like corrupt Congress
just happen to be free of death panels -- and above all Law.

It is Broadwell’s dad that is speaking out about a cover up. I think this Kelley girl is real trouble from what I’ve read by some excellent FReeper diggers. Sounds like Holder/obama elements in the FBI went digging and looking for dirt on Petraeus(on orders from the top to use as leverage and blackmail material if they ever needed it) and this crap about email threats is yet another lie to cover their tracks when they cashed in the goods after Benghazi. It is all blowing up in their faces. This women is in way over her head, which is why she has hired this lawyer.

“The story of the sexy tattletale’s takedown of master spy Petraeus is now worth millions!

And it so happens that social climber Jill and her oncologist hubby Scott Kelley owe millions to banks after the collapse of their real estate holdings in 2010, Gossip Extra has learned.
David Petraeus

Ex-CIA Director David Petraeus (Splash News)

The Kelleys currently are the targets of at least four indebtedness lawsuits, and two foreclosures in Hillsborough County, according to court records.

And they’re fighting to keep their properties, the records show.

None of the half dozen lawyers hired by the Kelleys to fight off banks and credit card companies returned calls or emails to discuss their cases.”

“I smell smoke. Is that a fiddle I hear?”

Does this mean that Clinton was Caligula? Or is that too much type casting? /sarc
