(HotAir) NYT: FBI agent involved in Petraeus case pursued it because of his “worldview”
Hot Air ^ | November 13, 2012 | Allahpundit

I’ll hit this on the blog later too but I want to push it out bright and early, as it’s a wrinkle in last night’s post about the shirtless circus clowns who govern us:

Ms. Kelley, a volunteer with wounded veterans and military families, brought her complaint to a rank-and-file agent she knew from a previous encounter with the F.B.I. office, the official also said. That agent, who had previously pursued a friendship with Ms. Kelley and had earlier sent her shirtless photographs of himself, was “just a conduit” for the complaint, he said. He had no training in cybercrime, was not part of the cyber squad handling the case and was never assigned to the investigation.

But the agent, who was not identified, continued to “nose around” about the case, and eventually his superiors “told him to stay the hell away from it, and he was not invited to briefings,” the official said. The Wall Street Journal first reported on Monday night that the agent had been barred from the case.

Later, the agent became convinced — incorrectly, the official said — that the case had stalled. Because of his “worldview,” as the official put it, he suspected a politically motivated cover-up to protect President Obama.

The emails at maggief's link are an embarrassingly obvious parody.

It is clearly a joke.

Why haven’t we seen any photos of this shirtless FBI guy? Shirtless or not, where is he? Beginning to doubt this version.

Because of his “worldview

This has a familiar ring to it.

Chief Justice John Roberts exchanged his duty to take decisions based on the law with his notion of how things should be in spite of the law.

If it is acceptable for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, it may not be too much to ask for it to be acceptable by an unnamed F.B.I. Agent, or even Four Star Generals for that matter.

Petraeus is just being prepared his new role with all this media circus. Somebody has to be the patsey for the gun-running operation and you know it won't be obama or his inner circle. I think Petraeus is about to get charged with something BIG.

They are asking why we are getting two different stories about the guy’s motivation? How about why we have gotten different stories about the whole three ring circus, from start to finish?

First we were told that Kelley was an unpaid State Dept worker. Now we find out that she was a volunteer for the Wounded Warrior project.

The explanation for the two stories on the FBI agent are simple, he used his position to unlawfully open an investigation for a friend. There was nothing in those emails to warrant FBI involvement, no threats, nothing except criticism of the woman’s behavior and conduct. Heck, it turns out that Broadwell was right, the woman had over stepped her position and was getting too friendly with some of the members of the military.

Do you all remember how we were told so many times that we were fools pursuing the the b.c. and the sealed records???

They told us that we should ONLY concentrate on the election and we would take him out that way!

Their naivete is such that they must look like Pinocchio and nosed a foot long!!

They are enablers to keep an illegal alien and usurper in office for the second time and MORE. SHAME ON YOU. You sold the United States of America down the gutter to coming of Sharia Law!!!
