Broadwell’s notes to Jill Kelley were full of ‘cat fight stuff,’ a source tells Michael Daly—but there were no overt threats, and Petraeus was barely mentioned. So why did the FBI jump in?
The messages were instead what the source terms “kind of cat fight stuff.”
“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.
The base being MacDill Air Force Base in Florida, where Kelley serves as an unpaid “social liaison.” The source reports that the emails did make one reference to Gen. David Petraeus, but it was oblique and offered no manifest suggestion of a personal relationship or even that he was central to the sender’s spite.
Kelley herself seemed mystified as to what was behind the emails, much less who sent them.
“I don’t know who this person is and I don’t want to keep getting them,” she told the FBI, as recounted by the source.
When the FBI friend showed the emails to the cyber squad in the Tampa field office, her fellow agents noted that the absence of any overt threats.
“No, ‘I’ll kill you” or ‘burn your house down,’” the source says. “It doesn’t seem really that bad.”

In this case, there's the emails and according to this that's all they based opening a case on. That's a far cry from someone who admits they went to a loan shark and can prove they've been paying known felons with connections to the Mob.
I guess they're awash with money these days, though, so maybe it's not difficult to justify putting man hours into something like it has been sometimes in the past.

“according to the source, who was until recently at the highest levels of the intelligence community and prefers not to be identified by name.”
Anyone else wonder if Petraeus himself is the source for this story?
You sound pretty experienced :-)
I’ve watched a few Novellas.
You can’t get that from American Soap Operas!
LOL!
Is there video of Petraeus saying the video was the cause?
I don’t know if there is video. He testified to committees. That is where
It has been reported by FOX, that he said it was a mob angered by the
Anti- Muslim video.
Yes, and if I recall, a Democrat on the committee that heard him speak claimed that Petraeus said it was the video. But I have not heard him say it nor did I read that anyone else said he said it. whew.
I have not heard him say it in public, but reports are he told the committee
that lie. Don’t u recall how angry GOP congressmen were after his testimony.
Is it just me, or does “unpaid social liason” sound like a madam?
That’s my take...I wonder what kind of things happened at her “parties.” The twins sound like they were living high on the hog and playing powerful me and their money. Apparently Broadwell knew about it...
...powerful MEN and their money...
