Petraeus Latest - "Shirtless" FBI Agent is Hard-Charging Counter-Terrorism Legend...

Right. Interesting.

I guess they don't think people are smart enough to figure out who's missing.

If history proves anything, only obamabots can be convinced to hold a certain point of view.

Good post. It's all so obvious.

Wonder who the dirt diggers report to?

Even a low level intelligence operative knows better than to send potentially damaging emails EVER. That the head of all the spies in the most powerful country on earth sent sexually explicit emails from his home computer says one of two things: Either 1) He is SO STOOPID that he never should have graduated from West Point much less made four star general, OR, 2) this is all a staged event to give him an excuse to resign so he wouldn't have to testify about the debacle at Benghazi. The salacious nature of the event is meant to convince us that this is genuine

I agree something doesent add up. That this whole thing startet when she was in Afganistan while he was still a general then gets vetted to become CIA chief.They know everything about you, to much at stake.Which means that they new,which would give the powers that be a hammer to hold over his head for when they needed it. Hammer didnt work for bengazi deal so they spill the beans. SO if any merit to this theory it will be interesting to see if da general uses the samson option.

This is the sleaziest, dirty administration in history. It's over now, in just a short while.

OP missing key piece of info...came to light via FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE AGENCY.

Director was already compromised.

Here's the most recent update (23 minutes ago) - The FBI had to investigate b/c they were using GMail...

FBI Probe Uncovering Petraeus Affair Followed Complaints

Concerned after discovering correspondence because of an earlier Chinese hack into the Google Inc. e-mail service, which the McAfee Internet security company dubbed “Operation Aurora,” the FBI was investigating whether Petraeus’s private or CIA e-mail accounts had been compromised, the official said.

They so far have found no evidence of a security breach, any loss of classified material or any evidence that another foreign power was aware of Petraeus’s infidelity, which the official said could have exposed him to blackmail.

Wow, I didn't know it wasn't the consulate that was attacked. That guy wasn't really an ambassador, was he?

what the hell is Angelina Jolie doing meeting with the CIA director? Is she an agent?

Oh wow, the plot thickens. What's the over/under on how many mistresses Petraeus has lurking in the wings?

The AP Story that is source of latest WaPo Blog Post

....Concerned that the emails he exchanged with Broadwell raised the possibility of a security breach, the FBI brought the matter up with Petraeus directly, according to the official. The FBI approached the CIA director because his emails in the matter were in most instances sent from a personal account, not CIA account...

House intelligence committee chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., and ranking member Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md., will meet Wednesday with FBI deputy director Sean Joyce, and CIA acting director Michael Morell to ask questions, including how the investigation came about...

CIA officers long had expressed concern about Broadwell's unprecedented access to the director. She frequently visited the spy agency's headquarters in Langley, Va., to meet Petraeus in his office, accompanied him on his punishing morning runs around the CIA grounds and often attended public functions as his guest...

As a military intelligence officer in the Army Reserve, Broadwell had a high security clearance...

Petraeus' staff in Afghanistan similarly had been concerned about the time Broadwell spent with their boss on her multiple reporting visits to the war zone. Following standard military procedure with senior officers, they almost always had another staffer present when she met with him at his headquarters, though they did have some meetings alone. Military officers close to him insist the affair did not begin when he was in uniform....

Congressional officials say Petraeus' deputy, Michael Morell, will testify instead, as acting director of the CIA.

My thoughts exactly. There have been lots of rumours over the years about the real reasons for the beautiful Angelina to fly over to world hotspots in her role as UN ambassador or some such title. It's a good way for a secret agent to deliver messages to someone like Stephens, who could have been the master gunrunner for the mideast.

So... the FBI was checking one woman's email after another woman complained. Was Jolie the complainant? the other mistress?

Obama wanted him out and this is how they do it. Discredit and smear. This administration does not hesitate to hit below the belt. I think anyone who says anything that reflects negatively on Obama will find themselves being squashed like a bug.

Is that a joke? I'm bad at detecting sarcasm, which is really ironic b/c I am extremely sarcastic...

Just in case you weren't joking -

Two US compounds were attacked that night...The CIA station and the US Consulate. There is no legal definition for the term consulate. It is an ancillary diplomatic mission (not the official embassy).

Before the NTC (Libyan Rebel Gov't) officially moved to Tripoli (from Benghazi), in October 2011, the US maintained a special mission to the NTC in Benghazi. It wasn't called an embassy (even after we recognized the NTC).

There were numerous security issues in Tripoli after the official move, so the NTC leadership often stayed in Benghazi... For this reason, the US needed to keep a diplomatic facility (call it whatever)....

The idea that Benghazi was safer than Tripoli was shattered when protesters stormed the NTC headquarters (and looted it) while acting NTC President MAJ (Mustafa Jalil) was trapped in the building. There are pictures of him looking out a window scared sh*tless as protestors/looters stormed the grounds. I heard the leadership hung out in Turkey for awhile after that...they were out of sight for a few weeks.

When they came back they were in Tripoli. Their offices and the new Libyan legislature (the GNC) are stormed weekly.

There is a good chance that Libya will split into several countries. If that is the case, the first new country, Barqa, will have Benghazi as its capital. So, it's - good idea to keep a Benghazi mission open...

Sorry to digress. I just wanted to say whatever you call it, there has been a need for a diplomatic office in Benghazi for the last almost two years now...

BUT the part about the CIA supplying weapons and fighters to Syria is correct.

Oh...then it muuuuuusssssstttttttt be true....

I am wondering if he would have been forced to testify or face contempt had he remained CIA Director. Is it that he can only plead the 5th as a private citizen?

It's hard to believe someone in his position could be so stupid but they do it all the time.

There is no powerful weapon as lust that can shoot and wound the priest, the bishop, the pastor, the sport or movie star, the leader, the intellegnce officer, the police man, the father, the brother, the sister, the teacher, the doctor, the prisoner ...you name it. Lust is the destroyer.

You don't lose your constitutional rights when you go to work for the gov't.

He didn't gain the right to claim the 5th. He may have lost executive immunity... That's only change...,

Oh and the subpoenas that have already been issued will no longer apply b/c the CIA Director was probably subpoenaed... So he won't testify at first hearing...

Anyone called before a Congressional hearing can be held in contempt... But you can't be held indefinitely - just till the end of the current congressional session...

cover up. he's under investigation for a botched military coup against Obama and had to resign to keep the scandal out of the public eye. the first stage of the coup was to frame bengahzi screw up on Obama, then nail him with an impeachable offense after the election. several high ranking officers including petraeus were involved but the feds figured it out before it was fully executed. this is why the Obama/bengahzi scandal has faded from the MSM or specifically Fox news who was also in on it. if it was real they would never have dropped it that easily and would now be all over the other networks.

Why did Petraeus send Broadwell a photo of him and Jolie taken in a very secure location. He was taunting his ex-mistress, I think. So, whether Jolie and Petraeus were having an affair, Paula Broadwell could certainly have imagined it and began sending Jolie nasty emails.

The real questions are why was Angelina Jolie in Petraeus's office to begin with and why did the media print that little detail?

Maybe - maybe not but she could still be the one who received the threatening emails.

The only reason I can think of for the controlled msm to print the tidbit about Jolie being photoed in the office of the CIA boss, is to give her (and others) a heads up/get outta dodge type of message. This story is going to blow wide open.

You do lose some of them if you join the military. They could court-marshal him if he refused to testify.

Just a little about Angelina Jolie from [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

Jolie stated that she first became personally aware of worldwide humanitarian crises while filming Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) in Cambodia.[65] She contacted the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) for information on international trouble spots.snip

Jolie was named a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador at UNHCR headquarters in Geneva on August 27, 2001.[68]

Since then, Jolie has been on field missions around the world and met with refugees and internally displaced persons in more than 30 countries snip

After more than a decade of service as Goodwill Ambassador, Jolie was promoted to the rank of Special Envoy of High Commissioner António Guterres on April 17, 2012. As Special Envoy, she represents the UNHCR and High Commissioner António Guterres at the diplomatic level and works to facilitate long-term solutions for people displaced by large-scale crises, such as Afghanistan and Somalia. "This is an exceptional position reflecting an exceptional role she has played for us," said a UNHCR spokesman

Okay, now why was she in CIA Director's office?

Bingo! Say , you are way too good looking to be sooooo intelligent ;)

He should have never gone to work for this whitehouse slime...........I'm sure they never trusted him or any other military for that matter,..........it's obvious that this is Soviet style spy games..............incriminate them and use when necessary..........

Very interesting. The plot thickens. 5*s.

Agree, very interesting. I just hope there are some good guys/gals in this plot and it's not just cabal factions double or triple-crossing each other (although that's good, too, with some popcorn).
