'Affair': Paula Broadwell and David Petraeus, pictured, reportedly had an affair that led to his resignation
CIA Director David Petraeus dramatically resigned today after allegedly having an affair with his biographer, it has been claimed. The alleged affair was uncovered after the FBI launched an investigation into the biographer, Paula Broadwell, for allegedly hacking into the former general's email, NBC News and Slate reported. Broadwell, who researched the book 'All In' for three years, had extensive access to Petraeus in Afghanistan. Yet sources told NBC it is unlikely she will face criminal charges after the alleged hacking, stressing that Petraeus himself is under no investigation. Petraeus stepped down today after confessing to cheating on his wife of 37 years, Holly - behaviour he explained was 'unacceptable' for a senior administration official.

If they lied to us about what happen in Benghazi what makes us think that they are not also not lying about this ?
OK. But I would think that a 4-star general was pretty much "cleared".
Then again, there's Wesely Clark...
Talk about "compromised".
Well at least unlike Clinton, Petraeus has good taste and good manners in his resignation.
“Broadwell, who researched the book ‘All In’ for three years, had extensive access to Petraeus in Afghanistan.”
And apparently Petraeus had broad access to Broadwell.
"I bet she did, say no more, say no more, knowwhatahmean, nudge nudge wink wink?"
If he had just stuck to BJ’s in the White House he would have been okay!
No entries after Nov 5. Wonder why.
Sometimes, but she was a supporter of the falsestinians and other muslims. Thought the Bush admin should do more about getting the poor, oppressed falsestinians a state and make more nicey nice with other muslim countries, but Israel, not so much...
I think he defined what he was when he came out and repeated that YouTube video lie.
“And when did she leave the military.”
She didn’t “leave” the military....she went from active army to army reserve. I assume you mean when did she leave active duty?
Not all West Point grads stay in the regular/active army. Many get out after their active obligation is complete. I suspect she got out because she got married.
This is NOT the first time a guy has been led by his “Little Richard” and not his head.
“Isn’t the FBI a strictly domestic organization?”
The FBI has jurisdiction on terror events on anything or anyone connected with the US.
Remember when Hoover was retired twice, but didn't leave office? Those were they days my friend.
Something must have happened to her social networking desire/capability, or even to her freedom. Please check this out too:
Did Paula Broadwell’s Cuckolded Husband Write a Letter to Chuck Klosterman in the The New York Times?
By Taylor Berman
November 9, 2012
In the July 13th edition of Klosterman’s The Ethicist advice column for the New York Times, an anonymous reader wrote in seeking advice about an affair his wife was having with a “government executive” whose job “is seen worldwide as a demonstration of American leadership.” The anonymous reader went on to praise the government executive as “gracious” and “absolutely the right person for the job.” He then asked if he should acknowledge the affair or let it continue until the project succeeds. Sounds like the government executive could hold a position like, say, the director of the CIA, right? In other words, did Paula Broadwell’s husband know about her affair with David Petraeus and then turn to, of all people, Chuck Klosterman for advice? Maybe!
Let’s look at the facts. The reader says he’s “watched the affair intensify over the last year,” which matches the Wall Street Journal’s timeline of the affair (August 2011 until “several months ago”). It also makes sense that Broadwell’s husband would have some idea about the affair considering she apparently was always off jogging with Petraeus, not to mention the fact that she’s spent a good deal of her career worshipping/writing “fan fiction” about the former general.

Methinks there is much more to this than a sexual affair. The truth will come out in time—too many people know too much to shut them all up—that and the dead people. I am starting to think the right wing nuts are right—Benghazi is worse than Watergate.
That is classic. Hee hee heeee
“......in his surge....”
or
“....on his surge....” would work too.
What we know is the people on the ground in Benghasia requested assistance. We know Patreus stated no one at CIA refused assistance, inferring that decision came from the POTUS. We know Patreus was to testify before Congress next week. He was possibly blackmailed to testify a certain way or else his skeletons would be revealed. He refused and outed himself to maintain some respect in a shameful situation. This ain’t over by a long shot.
Wonder what the FBI found on John Roberts?
His two blonde children were adopted from South America as newborns, somewhat suspiciously. If I recall correctly, there is something imperfect I’m their dossier.
Obama’s Chicago thugocracy probably has or creates dirt on
any official who has the potential to harm his majesty.
