Petraeus mistress had substantial classified data on computer: sources
Reuters ^

Posted on 11/14/2012 5:56:14 PM PST by Arthurio

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A computer used by Paula Broadwell, the woman whose affair with CIA Director David Petraeus led to his resignation, contained substantial classified information that should have been stored under more secure conditions, law enforcement and national security officials said on Wednesday.

The contents and amount of the classified material - and questions about how Broadwell got it - are significant enough to warrant a continuing investigation, the officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to comment publicly.

The details about material held by Broadwell, a reserve officer in military intelligence, emerged Wednesday as the Pentagon suspended Broadwell's security clearance.

I believe she was a Lt. Colonel and therefore didn’t necessarily obtain the classified material from Petraeus.

Well, why on earth would she need that or have that?

Was she a spy?

Unless she had authorization to keep a SIPRNET secure computer at her home, she’s in deep, deep sh*t.

Not authorized to comment publicly? Now that's ironic.

Natalie’s ex-husband has a very very interesting father.

I have to wonder what those twins have been up to.

You know, I have been thinking the same thing since this happened, after all, she is a reserve officer in military intelligence. Probably has a TS clearance at a minimum.

Now, if Jill Kelley had classified info that would be a different story.

Yes. We have someone who is violating the law by revealing details of an investigation into someone who violated the law by taking classified information out of approved storage locations. To say that this Regime is lawless is an understatement.

Of course. it is not possible that under FBI [and other] jurisdiction for the last 48 hours, that materials would have been added to what was seized... [sarc off]

Keeping a classified computer at home is simply not allowed.

Anyway, the source for this article is unnamed.

Add to that, the supposed unnamed source isn't authorized to release this supposed information.

Add to that releasing unauthorized information about somebody who supposedly released unauthorized information, is ironic.

All the while with this ongoing diversion, Obama continues to skate scot free.

Was she a spy? It would seem so based upon her actions. I hope she likes the inside of federal prisons because that is where she will very likely find herself.

Perhaps she didn’t. It would be very easy to seize her computer and either claim she had classified on it, or plant it on the computer. If she was assigned by the 0bama regime to trap and discredit Petraeus, she completed her mission and is now a liability. Planting incriminating evidence on her computer could get her locked up for a while.

I am more inclined to believe something is weird with the Twins.

Natalie married into a very influential family that has to have security clearance- both father and son. They surely knew how to do background checks.

Check out this on Natalie

Court documents state that Khawam “was terminated from at least four consecutive positions of employment within the first five years following her graduation from law school, is a psychologically unstable person whose unsteady moral and ethical compass and apparent lack of awareness of her own shortcomings make it impossible for her successfully to navigate her surroundings in a consistent and sustainable way.”
