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.

Ah, thanks for posting that comment. It looked like a monitor to me and I was wondering why they were bothering to take it out.
Is it one of those all in one computers?
This statement is the most intriguing of all!

Perhaps next we will hear Paula make a statement that she cannot help but wonder how her driver license was found in the park, as she produces it from her wallet in clear view of some pesky reporters camera.
I think you are thinking of Susan Rice, the woman who went on 5 Sunday shows to blame the embassy attacks on the stupid video. She is being rewarded for her lies.

This is the Chicago Mob at work. The LEFT does not care about traditional modes of morality and ethics. Remember Bill Clinton’s escapades were deemed “private matters between Hillary and him”. The LEFTIST media insisted that sopmeone’s sex life should be off-limits.
With the LEFT, EVERYTHING is political in the acquisition and application of power. We don’t have the facts yet, however, if Ted Kennedy had been CIA Director, we never would have heard of this.
This case makes a lot of sense if your theory includes this kind of equation (use your imagination to change it as you see fit):
Petraeus and Broadwell are working together on something (other folks too...working on something big).From this point on, I encourage you to use your imagination to develop this general theory.Petraeus has a plan, but it requires him to exit the Agency and the Administration and do so with cover (i.e. under disgrace...a simple resignation for personal reasons would attract attention...raise questions).
The trigger to put the play in action is to use a person/friend (Kelley) to turn the FBI onto a constructed (i.e. false) story knowing that Obama won't spill the beans until after the election...though the FBI and AG, like the President, see the story, but also think it is genuine.
Petraeus sits on the story until 3 days after the election (an election which was, as predicted, stolen by voter fraud)
The trigger accidentally (or perhaps as planned) pulls Gen John Allen into the plot.
It's all out there...go for it.
Does the Gubmint need a nice big computer screen?
From this point on, I encourage you to use your imagination to develop this general theory.
Could this theory include someone informing Judge Royce C. Lamberth to exclude Justice?
Interesting! Perhaps.
Will we have to wait until May to find out what happens?

This is good...and I have been thinking, if Jill was having an affair with Gen. Allen, why would she dare go to FBI over Broadwell, knowing that she could expose herself and Gen Allen...something just isn’t making sense.

I agree, they won’t want Petreaus testifying about his own private investigation. They’ll tar and feather him as a Liar and Adulterer. He’s “Bush’s Boy.”
