A piece of the sordid Petraeus puzzle has lawyered up, hiring famed celebrity attorney Gloria Allred, it has been revealed.

Natalie Khawam has reportedly enlisted Allred's help, more than a week after her involvement in the cheating scandal that has led to his downfall of CIA Director David Petraeus.

Allred and Khawam are holding a press conference on Tuesday morning.

Khawam is the twin sister of Jill Kelley, the Florida socialite who blew the lid off the secret relationship between Petraeus and his biographer, Paula Broadwell, after Broadwell sent Kelley threatening emails.

The twins' brother, David Khawam, confirmed to ABC News that his sister had hired Allred.

Kelley is being represented by one of Washington’s most prominent trial lawyers, Abbe Lowell, a family friend who has represented former U.S. Senator John Edwards and disgraced Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Kelley also has enlisted Judy Smith, a well-known crisis PR manager who is the model for the ultra-effective fixer and spin doctor Olivia Pope in the ABC TV drama “Scandal.”

“Notorious” attorney is more accurate than “celebrated” attorney when referring to Gloria AllRed.

One of these days she is going to take the wrong side of the case against the wrong person and will be history.

They’ve all lawyered up so it’s now officially a three ring circus.

I think this is about Allred and Khawam using the situation to promote themselves rather than helping Jill Kelley.

Twin sister to a self-promoting, living over her means socialite likely means she’s similar and will do whatever is needed to advance herself, even if it means walking over her sister’s quickly decaying situation.

I hope the media sees this for what it is and ridicules them all, including the General. I have no sympathy for Petraeus as he’s a scumbag who lied to his wife and family for a quicky with a skank.

It must all be pro bono work, it is public knowledge that she’s tapped out. Or should we suspicion someone in the Administration is funding her now, probably with our tax money.

Hummmm, is Dr. Krowne an employee of the US government? If so I don’t think he can patent his work, unless it’s totally outside the purview of his work for the government. For instance he could patent a new soft drink, as it is doubtful that he is working on such for the government, but EMP is not something that the general public could buy or even knows about.

This will be to undermine the Military, NOT the administration.

Exactly. I've got a sneaky suspicion that all the take downs of our high ranking officers is so the admin can put in their own for the upcoming WWIII or CWII. Take your pick, but there's going to be some sort of war or conflict and our enemies will already be in key positions.

Probably a CIA front, using Khawam’s name, probably why she and her twin were allowed access and association.

I am beginning to think that there is a whole lot more to the story of the Khawam sisters.....Natalie had HUGE sums of money given to her and it is all gone? Filed for bankruptcy yet there is not a good track record of hundred’s of thousands of dollars? Maybe that is the deal. Get money, send it somewhere and then file for bankruptcy. Natalie also has strong connections with JOHN KERRY.

And John Kerry has strong connections with John McCain, who just happens to be torpedoing Susan Rice’s Secretary of State nomination. Who is another frontrunner? John Kerry.
