'The truth will come out': Father claims her affair is part of bigger scandal [Petraeus]
Daily Mail | 11/12/12

Posted on 11/12/2012 7:23:06 AM PST by BunnySlippers

The father of David Petraeus' mistress Paula Broadwell has defended his daughter today as an 'exceptional person', saying he supports her 100 per cent after details of her sordid affair with the decorated general were made public.

General Petraeus's relationship with Broadwell, his biographer, was revealed on Friday after an FBI investigation which suspected corruption between the pair.

Broadwell's father Paul Kranz, a retired high school basketball coach, suggested that the explosive revelations that led to Petraeus resigning as CIA director, have been used to cover up a bigger scandal.

There is no credible evidence that Dwight Eisenhower and Kay Summersby had a sexual relationship, apart from Summersby’s claim many decades later in a ghost-written memoir. Sgt. Mickey McKeough was Eisenhower's orderly, and insisted there was no affair.

“If you're having an affair, you can't hide it that much,” McKeough had said in an interview for the Public Broadcasting System program “The American Experience.”

“I put him to bed every night and I woke him every morning. He was in bed by himself and he was in bed still by himself when he got up in the morning,” McKeough said during the interview.

“If this is part of a bigger scandal, then hiring all these lawyers makes sense.”

Why does Jill Kelley need John Edwards and Saudi Prince level of legal representation plus a professional “crisis manager”? That makes no sense at all going by the current narrative. Supposedly Kelley just innocently received “threatening e-mails” from an unknown party and went to the FBI. She needs mega-legal representation for herself for this???

Exactly...same goes for Jefferson and Hemmings...DNA proves a Jefferson had children with her, not WHICH ONE.
Am sick of these allegations where the dead can’t defend themselves...just for political or homosexual gains.

Like I said yesterday...She likes "notches".

It's more than that, she's a very ambitious and dangerous woman who was using the general to "screw her way to the top" while making network connections along the way.

hell yeah, when I was a JAG there were always investigations into wife swapping etc, people getting Article 15’s for banging someone and then taking them out of their personnel file and getting in bigger trouble. Go on TDY and have a fling with the billboard saleslady....There is an element...ok now, remember just in the past few months, that Marine wife out in California that was on some “date” with some depraved S&M type and she ended up dead? It’s a weird environment and brings out the worst as well as the best in people depending on what is in your heart.

Apparently these two had reprobate hearts

Peace, of course.

Petraeus did use his wife, so when it benefited him he could say he was a family man with a 37 year marriage. He came into the military at a time when you couldn’t get divorced and get ahead. If he was going to do this, he should have gotten divorced. But apparently he thought he could have his cake and eat it too.

Perhaps you are a military wife, but for those who aren’t familiar with them, military wives can’t readily have major careers because of all the moves, so most are dependent on these guys. At Petraeus’ level, there is a lot of pay, benefits and prestige at stake. Maybe his wife felt she had no choice, so she went along, but it has taken a toll on her. She surprises me, because many officers’ wives I know, with husbands at much lower ranks, are similarly competitive to their husbands and do not let themselves go. Sure, we’d all like to believe that people are not that superficial, and that Petraeus would honor his wife for the sacrifices she has made on his behalf. But it is a very real discussion amongst these wives that they have competitive, athletic husbands, who work with women like Paula Broadwell. They do not want to make it easy for somebody like Broadwell to get their hooks in.

Yet another article claims Broadwell’s email account was hacked...so is she going to claim someone else sent the threatening emails to Kelley using her account? Hmmm what a tangled web.

It looks like she’s following a blackmail pattern. The emails to Kelley must be extraordinary...and there also may have been calls to Kelley...maybe even stalking....Broadwell belongs in jail....
