I reached out to a senior military source who has worked with Petraeus, (P4) as he's referred to within the service, and who helped provide background information for Broadwell's book. I'll call the officer "James Downing"). A transcript of our conversation follows:
BI: Did anyone know about the affair before today?
James: I'm not sure anyone really "knew", per se. But it's one of those things that, as soon as the announcement was made, I knew in an instant who it was. Everything made sense. Who had exclusive access to him? Who wrote the hagiography on his life? Who framed their entire existence around his persona? It wasn't hard to make the guess, and the rest is public knowledge now. One day, she's celebrating her birthday as an accomplished (if you want to use that term) author and PhD candidate, the next she's Paula Jones.
BI: Did you know Broadwell long?
James: I've known her for a few years, probably five or six. When she started work on the bio she called me for background on one of the general's previous deployments. I probably gave her four hours or so, and we stayed in touch after that by email and an occasional phone call. Over that time, she went from someone very likeable to a shameless self-promoting prom queen. A very disturbing shift in how she carried herself. If she knew P4 was going to make an appearance at an event, she'd crash it without an invitation (she actually did this at the wedding of some close friends of mine) and photo bomb[ed] sic everyone there.

What information did she obtain from him and where did it go?.
You are forgetting the “too big to fail” rule. For the good of the country, we can’t prosecute and convict a lot of crimes. As papers released from the Kremlin showed, Ted Kennedy was guilty of treason.
It was Gen Martin Dempsey (CJCS) that called Terry Jones.
He was a 4-star general, and his last name is a bit difficult to spell correctly. Ergo, P4.
My guess is the Army will tell her to resign or face disciplinary action. Unless she just resigns first.
Crazy eyes, yes. Runaway Bride 2.
But we will see. I think not from Zero's army.
Petraeus was never going to be a GOP nominee for anything. His wife works in the Obama White House.
Her wiki page says: I think not.
She served in the United States Army and
the United States Army Reserve.
She was promoted to lieutenant colonel in the Reserves in summer 2012.[1]
Ah, understanding dawns.
That’s one of the most masculine looking women I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been to San Francisco and seen some odd ones.
When we must go up against fanatics such as the North Koreans or Red Chinese, we're going to see how misguided that is. And that's from the perspective of a USNA grad, Naval Aviator, and 24 years in the service. “Women weaken legs,” and their presence in and among combat units weaken the Armed Forces.
If Amazons want combat experience, they can lead a paint ball team.
I emailed a challenge to him a few years back after he appeared on Sunday talk shows to say he did not vote in elections because of his position. Was surprised when I received a lengthy reply 45 minutes later. We had a good exchange of half dozen or so emails. He really is a decent man who made a bad mistake rolling in hot on a hardbody MILF who is an aggressive, career-driven woman.
They both placed their sex drives above their obligations to family and country. Sad ending.
Me? Or Petraeus? When it comes to females?
In my case?
But still smiling. Smiling a lot actually. If my days on the blue planet get any better I just don't know what to do. It does not seem fair but here I am, having more fun than anyone I know.
The MSM eventually has to cover this one if only to pick up on the young woman, and maybe even her husband, and Petraeus' wife being executed.
The Army (that is Congress and the President) promoted this old gal when somebody already knew what she was up to. I think they were trying to catch confederates ~ not that they’d tell Obama about it ~ might even have had him in the lineup.
Mayor Marion Barry, Mayor for Life had several wives. A couple of them were remarkably masculinized ~ he was not a picky man.
Why would a 4 star general or the CIA Director use gmail for sexting anyway? If he is so darn smart and all? Felt he was above everyone else, just like his boss the 0?
