An FBI agent carries out a computer after a search of the home of Paula Broadwell in Charlotte, N.C.
The evidence of an affair that forced CIA Director David Petraeus to resign from his position still leaves many unknowns, experts say, including some fundamental questions about the investigation itself.

It remains uncertain why the FBI began investigating the E-mails sent to Jill Kelley, a social liaison volunteer at a Tampa base where Petraeus was stationed as an Army general, and whose connections with Petraeus' alleged mistress and family is not yet clear, according to a Reuters report.
"I'm a little surprised that they would have opened a case on this," says a retired senior FBI employee, with years of experience with these kinds of investigations. "I wonder if there was something else in the original E-mail that raised some kind of concern."
The FBI frequently gets allegations regarding high profile officials, says the source, who asked to remain anonymous due to his affiliation with the FBI. About 90 percent of them are unfounded.

It would require clear evidence of serious harassment for the FBI to begin an investigation for a low-profile person such as Kelley.

"It must have threatened death or something like that," the source tells U.S. News. "I don't understand what was so heinous to start a federal investigation."
The FBI and Justice Department have not yet explained the connection between Kelley and Paula Broadwell, and specifically what prompted the investigation. The bureau employs behavioral scientists to analyze threatening E-mails to determine if there is any immediate threat, and whether the sender is willing to act upon it.

Mind boggling.
BTTT
Judge Royce C. Lamberth is one of ours.
I know that if I wanted to go around the dept of justice that is the man I would contact. If I was Cantor that is who I would have taken the info too. I can only pray he did.
Yeah. I just pinged you to another bombshell...lol.
Although she was hired over a year ago, I think wife Holly’s job, puts the skids on General P. going nuclear on the Marxist.
Maybe because it was in the script.

From the Wikipedia entry on this fellow. A lot of dirt that oddly didn't get into this article: Nadhmi Auchi (Arabic:???? ????) is a British billionaire businessman who was born in Iraq. In the Sunday Times Rich List 2007 ranking of the wealthiest people in the UK he was placed 18th with an estimated fortune of £1,995 million.[1]
Nadhmi Auchi was charged along with Saddam Hussein for conspiring to assassinate Iraqi President Abdul-Karim Qasim in 1959. Qasim was injured while his bodyguard was killed; Saddam managed to flee the country. Auchi was arrested for delivering weapons to the assassins but was later pardoned by President Qasim.
Nadhmi Auchi graduated in Economics and Political Science from the Mustansiriyah University, Baghdad in 1967. He also worked with the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, becoming Director of Planning and Development. In 1979 he founded General Mediterranean Holding SA of Luxembourg. From 1996-2000 he served on an advisory committee to the Institute for Social and Economic Policy in the Middle East at Harvards Kennedy School of Government. He has been president of the Anglo-Arab Organisation since its founding in 2002.

Mr. Auchi was a leading supplier of arms to Saddams regime. A former Belgian ambassador to Luxembourg charged that a bank in Luxembourg owned principally by Mr. Auchi laundered funds including oil for food money for Saddam and other Islamic dictators.------http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/03/who_is_nadhmi_auchi_and_whats.html 9 posted on Tuesday, April 15, 2008 12:49:58 AM by Fred Nerks
Nadhmi Auchi was viewed with a lot of suspicion by the Iraqi opposition to Saddam Husseins regime, regarding him as a front-man for Saddams intelligence service.[4] Auchi was involved in several multi-billion dollar business deals in the post-Saddam era too, such as the Orascom mobile phone network (IraqNa), and at least one power generation contract involving Bill Clinton and Iraqs former Minister of Electricity, Aiham Alsamarrae, who has been convicted over corruption charges in Iraq and is now living in Chicago.-------Wikipedia 6 posted on Monday, April 14, 2008 4:47:26 PM by Califelephant | To 5 |
