Of note:
-Investigation began in May after Kelley received 5 to 10 emails
-Sender not known to Kelley. Accused Kelly of having inappropriate relationship, but Petraeus not named
-"Agents determined the emails were sent from an account shared by Ms. Broadwell and her husband, who live in North Carolina, the officials said." Were able track the location of sender, matching with where Broadwell was when emails sent.
-Gmail accounts set up for Petraeus and Broadwell under false names.
-The affair ended more than four months ago
If, as Jennifer Griffin suggested, these emails were not sent by Broadwell the timing is important. What happened in May to trigger Operation Petraeus take down? I did a quick search of the headlines and among the main stories:
Al-Qaida airline bomb plot thwarted by CIA
CNN: News report: Would-be bomber was a double-agent
UK Telegraph CIA launches inquiry into media leaks over 'underpants' double agen
I doubt the reason can be found in the headlines, not when Chicago Machine is taking down Chief Spook.
Were the e-mails designed to appear that they came from an incompetently hidden e-mail address linked to Mistress Broadwell thus setting her up as the source of Petraeus’ downfall...set up by parties wanting to expose the affair in a manner that couldn't be traced back to them (Chicago? Disgruntled CIA operatives who wanted to get rid of Petraeus?)?
Wouldn't alpha counterintelligence female Broadwell have been sharp enough to either cover her tracks or avoid sending an incriminating e-mail outside the wire, so to speak, to a civilian like Kelley...who's sister happens to be a whistleblower attorney?
You can't make this stuff up!
