CIA Director David Petraeus resigned over an extramarital affair, according to a letter he sent to CIA staff. The news was confirmed by Press Secretary Jay Carney in a briefing this afternoon.

Slate's Fred Kaplan quickly reported that the affair was with Paula Broadwell — Gen. Petraeus' biographer who was embedded with him in Afghanistan. Now, NBC is reporting that the FBI has been investigating Broadwell, fearing that she had access to some confidential information.

My guess is, she’s a Dem mole. Her mission was to engulf Petraeus in an affair to neutralize him.

She was embedded with Patraeus and titled his biography “All In.”

I’ll hang up now and listen......

No he didn’t. He “embedded” his biographer.

WH claiming the pres didn't know about the investigation. I call BS. Massive NS breach and the POTUS isn't made aware? Unless he was also being investigated...

Paula, Schmaula! They investigate HER for possible yata, yata, yata......while Oblamer, et al in the White House spilled their guts with all sorts of highly classified info they thought might make them look hairy-chested, to the extent that it got one of our helicopters shot down and numerous Navy SEALs killed......and all we hear is crickets chirping.

Since 1998, if a Clinton gets in trouble, there will be a republican sex scandal to provide cover.

It doesn't. It only delays him doing so this Thursday but he may be subpoened to come before the committee if and when they see fit.

That was the first time that he appeared before the Senators.

he can be subpoenaed by at least the House if they choose.

John Bachelor appeared on Kudlow and said something about rumors that there were rumors that the Obama administration was concerned when he was in Afghanistan as a possible rival.

I thnk the timing of all of this is just very smelly....

I think we will hear much more on how this might tie in with Benghazi.

She’s probably under contract for the NSA or another shadowy agency, all along. Her body is a bit too tempting to have been coincidentally in that position with Petraeus (so to speak..LOL)

Broadwell was “in bedded” with Petraes in Afghanistan. Hmm, some guys take there mistresses to the Four Seasons or a Hilton, Broadwell got a dusty tent in a land not listed on Trip Advisor. I guess it classifies as an “exotic, sandy location”.

I am a bit surprised this didn’t get picked up on his vetting for the CIA position. I thought all senior government officials got vetted by the FBI. (Remember, these were the FBI files that were in the Clinton White House a number of years back that Clintoon had on his political rivals. It’s how they took down some Congressional leaders when they opposed Clinton.) It either means they didn’t vet him, or he mislead them during the vetting process.
