Petraeus friend Jill Kelley found place hosting military parties [financial woes]
St. Petersburg - Tampa Bay Times ^ | November 13, 2012 | Staff and wires

Posted on 11/13/2012 2:13:09 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

........... Since the Kelleys have been in Tampa, records show, one or both have been subjects of lawsuits nine times — including an $11,000 judgment against them that originated in Pennsylvania.

Ongoing cases, the court records show, include an indebtedness case from Chase Bank; a foreclosure case from Regions Bank; and a credit card case from FIA Card Services.

Not long after the couple arrived in Tampa, Jill Kelley and her identical twin sister, Natalie Khawam, appeared for a taping of the Food Network's reality show, Food Fight.

The segment featured sibling rivalry, with the twins cooking off against two brothers.

A food show, though, was not out of the realm for the sisters.

Growing up in Philadelphia, the sisters were among four children of a couple who had immigrated from Jounieh, Lebanon, in the mid 1970s. The family owned a Middle Eastern restaurant in Philadelphia called Sahara.

The year after the sisters appeared for the show's taping, the Kelleys moved in the Bayshore Boulevard home they had bought for about $1.5 million, property records show.

....... As news of her role in the Petraeus scandal broke Sunday, Jill Kelley was throwing a birthday party for one of her daughters. A media crush waited at the curb. A sole local TV crew remained Monday morning.

By then, the Kelleys had turned to national experts for help.

They hired Abbe Lowell, a Washington lawyer who has represented clients such as former presidential candidate John Edwards and lobbyist Jack Abramoff. And the couple are employing crisis PR person Judy Smith, who has represented big names like Monica Lewinsky, Michael Vick and Kobe Bryant.

Take note. The 2 high ranking Navy officers took themselves out of it. Ham resigned. The other, it looks like, might have registered a formal, written complaint about being ordered either to stand down or for not receiving any order at all to help/rescue those guys in Libya.
The other high ranking officers who are being ‘outed’ in scandal are arabists and anti-Israel muslim sympathizers...including petraeus’ so-called mistress...who SUPPORT obama.
Just food for thought.

Let me guess ....

elaborate “1001 Arabian Nights” sheep roasting parties on millionaire’s row along Bayshore Blvd, thrown by some social-climbing Lebanese falafel grifters living on credit cards, overtook the MacDill Officer’s Club as the “IT” scene for CENTCOM Staff officers

How culturally speshul

Fools rush in...

Something is just not right.

I’d say it was time for the “1” to get rid of those @ the top in the Military - one secret at a time (then I’d have to adjust my TinFoil Hat of course :-) ):

David Petraeus CIA scandal engulfs US Gen John Allen

“Top US commander in Afghanistan Gen John Allen is being investigated for allegedly sending “inappropriate emails” to a woman at the centre of a scandal ending the career of CIA head Gen David Petraeus, officials say.”

“A senior Pentagon official said up to 30,000 pages of emails and other documents from Gen Allen’s communications with Mrs Kelley between 2010 and 2012 were under review.”

30,000 pages?

“.... I can’t find the common glue thread to make them fit together. Yet.”

Howza bout that We the People were just punked by the bipartisan oligarchy who “ re-elected” the man who will become the first dictator of the USA? The same Oligarchy who’d rather have all We the People watching the Jerry Springer Show at the Pentagon/CIA rather than confronting them about what just tanired in the 100’s , if not yet proven to be thousands of election precincts voting 100% D?

A bunch of ugly in one pic.

Anyway...so over this story. Is there anything in it that we as a country should be concerned about at this time?
okay we get it!! A man had an affair with a younger woman who became jealous and sent mean emails to what she thought was her romantic rival.

I’m over it.

I read something yesterday that her sister has been in financial trouble too.

It sounds like the Dr has made some poor real estate decisions, but still likes to live large.

I just heard Bill Bennett say that the FBI AGENT was sending shirtless pictures of himself to KELLEY...the “WHISTLEBLOWER?)!!!!!

Fox & Friends explained it as follows: Jill Kelley was friends with an FBI agent. He is the one who sent her the shirtless photo of himself. She went to him as a friend about allegedly receiving threatening emails. HE was the whistleblower because he went to a senator in Washington who informed Eric Cantor.

(I'm just reporting what I heard on the television this morning. I have not analyzed the info nor do I have an opinion about it.)

That reminds me of a story.

The old ladies of my former church formed a little dinner club, and they used to go to a different ethnic restaurant every week. One of the restaurants they visited was a Lebanese eatery near the church.

They were sitting around together reminiscing one day, when one of the oldest ladies said, “We visited some nice restaurants, but the best time we had was at that lesbian place on Baum Boulevard.”

Even the pastor couldn’t stop laughing.
