That was about Bob “I so cheap and horny” Menendez.

And that one sure didn’t last very long…as sex scandals go.

Well, he was a Democrat, so yeah….

Something was going on in Benghazi, which either the Obysmal administration or/and the CIA wanted to keep under the wraps. When the attack took place, there was a lot of CYA going on. Either a plan went awry or Stevens was set up to take a fall.

Yup, something was going on in Benghazi that the WH doesn’t want exposed, almost at any cost. That’s at the root of this entire cover-up.

I am starting to think SHE may be the one who is getting set up. She may have let something slip in Denver that wasn’t supposed to be out there.

sharrukin on November 12, 2012 at 9:12 PM

I agree completely. I suspect she knows stuff they don’t want exposed, and they’re out to discredit her. Same for Petraeus. Discredit him before he goes public.

It didn’t. The FBI began reading his email when he became a possible VP pick for Governor Romney. …

They came up with the Kelley complaint as a convenient excuse….

Rings true to me.

I wondered about who sent those Broadwell emails to Kelley, too,(although they are generic and inane) and also how classified information got onto Broadwell’s personal computer. Was there some double-crossing or psy-ops going on here.

When the FBI questioned both Petraeus and Broadwell about their relationship as revealed by their emails to each other, both admitted to the affair and actually provided more information than the investigators knew, according to The earlier-linked Daily Beast story. There was apparently nothing indicative of a security breach that emerged from that investigation.

Is Broadwell covering for Petraeus to keep him from taking a fall? Was she privy to other classified material that she slipped out inadvertently? Too much of this mystery goes back to what happened in Benghazi prior to, during, and after the attack on the consulate.

Broadwell’s father said the sex scandal is a smokescreen for something bigger. Trying to figger what that might be.

Sure, a dad is expected to believe in his children. But there’s a strong enough smell of fish around this entire matter to make one wonder.

There is just too much here that conflicts with any coherent whole. Some of this stuff looks to be misinformation and we don’t yet know who is doing what to whom.

We need to know why the Jill Kelley complaint over a mundane matter triggered an extraordinary FBI investigation.

It didn’t. The FBI began reading his email when he became a possible VP pick for Governor Romney. Would you expect any better from the Chicago Machine?

They came up with the Kelley complaint as a convenient excuse. The timeline will tell, if they haven’t been able to erase it completely.

Are we even sure Paula Broadwell sent those E-mails?

Good question.

Schadenfreude on November 12, 2012 at 1:21 PM

Schad, was it you that posted somewhere today that Jill Kelley had ties with Hillary and Huma?

I didn’t find much about that on Google, but I’d really like to know more, if you have any links handy.

Jill Kelley complains to the FBI and the FBI jumps through hoops to investigate? If you or I complained about ugly emails, would the FBI jump on it? Hardly.

If Clintons are behind Jill Kelley’s complaint, it could change everything.

Do you have no objectivity? Do you not care that the other side, even though you might disagrees with politics, has a right to be heard?

Wouldn’t you love to just meet one of them?

hawkdriver on November 12, 2012 at 8:10 PM

Demonizing those who hold different opinions, misinforming the public, refusing to report news that doesn’t suit their purposes is bad enough.

What makes it worse is that they then laugh at the public for being ill-informed and ignorant. INOW, they achieve their objective (in many cases) and then treat their dupes with contempt.

They’re despicable low-lifes.

Wouldn’t you like to meet one of the big ones, face to face? Someone like Rather or Brokaw….and ask… Do you not care that the other side, even though you might disagrees with politics, has a right to be heard?

I’ve only done small town journalism and it was mainly “boosterism” more than hard news. (Gladhanding for local businesses, etc, to keep things ‘comfortable’ for the paper, and ad revenue flowing.)

This seems like the same noxious trend on a national scale, boosting Obama, their own source of “revenue” (-sinecures, grants, party invitations, job references, stock tips, story leads, appointments, university positions, book deals, promotions, ad nauseam.)

Apparently you can do anything with the ‘press’ on your side Pravda’s pimps in your pocket…

Wouldn’t you like to meet one of the big ones, face to face? Someone like Rather or Brokaw. Or one of the new generation propagandists like O’Brien or Cooper and ask, how do you do it? How do you so overtly distort the news for your obvious bias and still sleep at night? Do you have no objectivity? Do you not care that the other side, even though you might disagrees with politics, has a right to be heard?

Good lord, she had Top Secret clearance

faraway on November 12, 2012 at 12:43 PM

Clearance or not…if she had classified information on her personal computer, she was in violation of standing security regs. For that, she could – at the least – lose whatever clearance she has.
And I don’t believe that she was involved with any organization that would have issued her an encrypted laptop.

If Petraeus even opens his mouth he’s in a lot of danger of falling into a perjury trap, if he hasn’t already. And do they still prosecute for adultery in the military?

Paul-Cincy on November 12, 2012 at 7:34 PM

They do. Kind of funny though now that we seem to condone an anything goes lifestyle.

… Who knew?

Rep. Dave Reichert (R-Wash.) confirmed Sunday he first learned of the affair several months ago from a friend who knows Kelley. Reichert told House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), who put Kelley in touch with FBI Director Robert Mueller.

Cantor’s staff didn’t immediately tell the House Intelligence Committee or other House leaders because they didn’t know whether the information was credible, Fox News reported.

I would have been careful, too, had I been Cantor. He could have been set up with disinformation and charged with slander. Look at how he learned of the Kelley situation via second- and third-hand hearsay. Instead of leaking the hearsay, Cantor responsibly puts Kelley in touch with the FBI director. And then the matter is dropped? Why? Did Mueller pass along the information to the Director of National Intelligence? Who knows? Were threats literally and credibly made to Kelley? Apparently not.

Something stinks, but I have yet to see any connection to Obama himself so far?
