In September, prosecutors and agents began a legal analysis to determine whether there were any charges that could be brought. Among the discussions: whether to interview Ms. Broadwell, who was the focus of the criminal probe, and Mr. Petraeus.
Top officials signed off on the interviews, which occurred in late September and October, just before the U.S. presidential election. During Ms. Broadwell’s first interview in September, she admitted to the affair and turned over her computer, the officials said.
On her computer, investigators found classified documents, the U.S. officials said, a discovery that raised new concerns.
At Mr. Petraeus’s interview in the week before the election, he also admitted the affair and said he hadn’t provided the classified documents to Ms. Broadwell. Agents conducted a second interview with Ms. Broadwell on Nov. 2. She also said Mr. Petraeus wasn’t the source of the documents.
It just gets curiouser and curiouser. I still don’t get why the FBI was looking into this. They waited until September to take a look and see if any charges could be brought? Wouldn’t they have done that right away? Classified documents? For Official Use Only (FOUO) is technically “classified” but probably nothing concerning national security. I still think that if I’m Kelley, and I’m a friend of Petraeus, and I receive an e-mail from his “normal” government e-mail account that has no name at the bottom and says “Stay away from my man!”, I would call Petraeus and not the FBI. Curiouser.
