Report: Broadwell threatened to make Jill Kelley “go away”
The notes Paula Broadwell sent to Jill Kelley were far more sinister than previously reported and seemed like the rantings of someone “clearly unhinged,” a close friend of Kelley told The News Monday.
“This wasn’t just a catfight. Any normal person who got emails like that would have immediately called the police,” said the friend.
She said Kelley read her the emails when she called, panic-stricken and seeking advice in the days before the scandal became a stunning public spectacle and led to Petraeus’ resignation as CIA director.
The friend, who did not want to be identified, said Kelley saw the emails as death threats, specifically one in which Broadwell vowed to “make you go away.”

See? this whole “Bengazigate” thing is just another Washington sexcapade; it has nothing to do with Obama, his adminstration, or national security.

These people all look/act so phony. May the devil strike them all. They are scum of the Earth and will be making movies, selling books…to the entertainment of the stupid masses.

Cat fighting with drones and bayonets is prohibited.

Just another example of the media downplaying the reality of the situation if it has ANY potential, AT ALL to reflect badly on the administration.

One, I thought this happened months ago?
Two, if she was so afraid why did she try to retract the complaint?
I call BS…

What does this have to do with the Ambassador Stevens having no security?

As ted c points out, there are a lot of distractions, squirrels, around. Squirrels everywhere. It’s harder to discern the signal from the noise. The last 6 headlines:
David Brooks The conservative future
Brooks has NOTHING to say about conservatism.
The Hill James Clyburn: Republicans are criticizing Susan Rice using racial “code words”
Nonsense.
Daily Caller “I think Huntsman would have been a tough general election campaign”
Bob Huntsfield. This is relevant?
NYDN Report: Broadwell threatened to make Jill Kelley “go away”
Basic Instinct part II. Nothing to do with anything.
AFP Turkish PM: Israel is committing ethnic cleansing in Gaza
Sadly, not fringe, but should be. The Nazi party in the 1930s. No, I don’t mean Israel.
Susan Estrich No, Obama doesn’t have a mandate to raise taxes on the rich
Yes Obama did run on taxing the rich but it would raise such a miniscule amount compared to our yearly deficit it would mean NOTHING. Forget that it would slow down the economy. It’s a campaign promise of Obama’s based on the politics of envy, not on a good plan to help the country.
There’s so much noise and smoke, how can anyone see what’s really important anymore.

Drywall and LibtardorDie have probably written sillier things on the internet than BroadShoulder.

When single or married women start screwing (around with) married men. There is no way for the women to put jealous, paranoid ‘Crazy’ back in the bottle.
Personally, I’d opt for seeing Kelly and Broadwell in a cage match or mud wrestling on Pay Per View.

For those with a taste for the bizarre.

Good question. Based on her M.O. of seeking powerful and influential “friends,” it may well indicate someone promised her to take care of the whole problem if she would just withdraw the complaint and let him do it quietly.
