When you read this, sip slowly, dust off the way-back machine, and think about the 13 Hours in Benghazi show you might have just watched air on Fox. Yeah, I know, I can sense the puzzlement – but stay with it….
The question posed to the Tree House was: Why are they selecting a retired General John Allen, instead of a current officer?
Deep breath: This White House uses personal leverage to their advantage like no other before it. Example #1: Where’s Bowe Bergdahl? Example #2: What ever happened to Ahmed Abu Khattala the ‘recently’ captured head of the Benghazi attack ?
See… you had to think about it. This White House swamps us so much we forget to follow-up…..
There is a risk to the political optics of fighting ISIS. Consequently, this administration needs a competent general Denis McDonough can control, rely on, and possibly bypass the Pentagon. So who can they leverage? Yeah, that General John Allen.
Jill and Dr. Scott Kelley lived in the Tampa / St. Pete area. They were/are active in the military community with support for military families.
The Kelley’s do numerous fundraisers etc. and when Petraeus was assigned to station in Tampa the Kelley’s hosted a meet-n-greet with Holly and David Petraeus.
Mr and Mrs. Petraeus became friends with Mr. and Mrs. Kelley.
So mid-summer 2012 Jill Kelley, a Petraeus family friend, began receiving odd and harrassing e-mails about her relationship with CIA director General David Petraeus:
“More like, ‘Who do you think you are? … You parade around the base … You need to take it down a notch,’” according to the source, who was until recently at the highest levels of the intelligence community and prefers not to be identified by name.
Jill Kelley then reaches out to a family friend, who is by profession, in the FBI. Kelly asks if these unsourced e-mails reach the level of cyber-stalking.
The FBI “friend” takes Kelly to a field office where he puts her in contact with the “cyber-crimes” division/agents. There they essentially come to the conclusion the statute on cyber-stalking does actually seem to apply, so they open a preliminary case.
The first step in that aspect of the case is to back-check the IP’s etc to find the origin of the e-mails to Kelley.
That initial investigative part finds Paula Broadwell as the origin of the e-mails to Kelley. So the FBI gets a subpoena to dig further into the Broadwell electronic mail accounts. *Note the investigation at this point is into Paula Broadwell*
During the research of Broadwell’s communication it becomes apparent that, in addition to harassing Kelly, Broadwell is in contact with CIA Director General David Petraeus on some “personal level”.
While this is occuring, the original FBI friend (unknown) of Kelley is asking the Cyber division people on the case for updates. They provide him some information based on professional courtesy.
The FBI friend in turn then relays this information to Jill Kelley herself; Kelly then begins to inform her friend, General Petraeus, of the source. Essentially Kelly telling Petraeus “heads up” this woman (Broadwell) you know has been identified as the origin of threatening e-mails to me.
It Gets Creepy – Simultaneously, the FBI ‘friend’ of Kelley sends a personal, perhaps flirtatious, picture to Kelley that the FBI becomes aware of (they are monitoring Kelley’s communication).
The FBI, is not comfortable with the “non-professional” relationship between the FBI friend and Kelley, and they inform him he is ‘cut out’ of the story.
(The FBI probably know that Kelley is also back-channelling information from this guy to her friend Gen Petraeus – any investigator would not like this loss of control).
