Broadwell broke off the affair with the 60-year-old Petraeus after he was sworn in as CIA director on Sept. 6, 2011, but he continued to pursue her with numerous e-mails, the Newsmax report said.

Broadwell — who is a reserve army officer in addition to being a writer — describes herself as a national security analyst who resides in Charlotte, NC. She is married to Scott Broadwell, a radiologist, and they have two children. Like Petraeus, she’s a West Point graduate.

Her LinkedIn bio says she served a three-year stint as a liaison officer with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force from 2003 to 2006

I am sure she was crawling under his desk to pass an obstacle course.

Email is no way to pursue an illicit relationship.

Obama (via the Democratic machine) probably knew of this affair before appointing Petraeus as Director of the CIA and held this in his back pocket until he needed some leverage.

Now, if Petraeus sings about Benghazi, he may be court martialed. If court martialed, I wonder if he would lose his pension?

No, he wasn’t wise. He was, and is, a self-promoter who took credit for good things and got out of town fast when things started to look bad. The Iraq surge success was phony.

He resigned because the FBI was investigating his honey for having access to the general’s emails that may have contained classified information.. partly. The real reason he resigned is because he was complicit in what happened at Benghazi.

So, she’s a “Reserve Army Officer”. Interesting. Let’s see if they go after her.

I would guess that the FBI would have interviewed some people who were with Petraeus in Afghanistan and that at least one of them would have notified Petraeus that he was being investigated. Yesterday, it was printed that the FBI had notified the White House of this before the election.

Sad, but just a thought out of the box...if P were to testify as a member of Obama's administration he would probably be bound by O's version of what happened. It did seem strange that he came out so strongly in support of the "vicious, slandering" video reason for the invisible mob attack. Perhaps he was under pressure Obama to support or have the affair info leaked.

As a civilian testifying before congress he is no longer restrained from telling the whole truth. It is a testimony I await from someone I still believe is an honorable man.

Only time will tell. This disgrace has a long story yet to be told.

“Steamy emails” sent by the Director of the CIA - We truly are led by stupid people. Corrupt, dishonest liars are one thing, but being really stupid and being in such a critical job to our nation’s security is just unbelievable. And so many of us were under the impression he was one of our best.

Had Petraeus not been associated with Bush and Republicans, he would be judged by Democratic standards and still be CIA director.

She was a thorough biographer. She was able to write the final chapter on his career while he was still alive.

If Petraeus truly loved this country, he would have come out in October and told the nation what really happened. Howvever, as with all of the top brass in Washington, he cared more about his self-interests than about the nation.

If he had just agreed to end it when she wanted to, this may never have come out. Now, his foolishness has destroyed both their careers & families.
No fool like an old fool

Anyone believing this was the real reason, raise your hands. Anyone? Anyone?

Interesting timing.

Let us see what Dr Broadwell will do. In North Carolina the husband can sue his wife’s boyfriend. There have been some real high dollar judgments in this state. I would love to see the general taken to the cleaners.
