........... Since the Kelleys have been in Tampa, records show, one or both have been subjects of lawsuits nine times — including an $11,000 judgment against them that originated in Pennsylvania.
Ongoing cases, the court records show, include an indebtedness case from Chase Bank; a foreclosure case from Regions Bank; and a credit card case from FIA Card Services.
Not long after the couple arrived in Tampa, Jill Kelley and her identical twin sister, Natalie Khawam, appeared for a taping of the Food Network's reality show, Food Fight.
The segment featured sibling rivalry, with the twins cooking off against two brothers.
A food show, though, was not out of the realm for the sisters.
Growing up in Philadelphia, the sisters were among four children of a couple who had immigrated from Jounieh, Lebanon, in the mid 1970s. The family owned a Middle Eastern restaurant in Philadelphia called Sahara.
The year after the sisters appeared for the show's taping, the Kelleys moved in the Bayshore Boulevard home they had bought for about $1.5 million, property records show.
....... As news of her role in the Petraeus scandal broke Sunday, Jill Kelley was throwing a birthday party for one of her daughters. A media crush waited at the curb. A sole local TV crew remained Monday morning.
By then, the Kelleys had turned to national experts for help.
They hired Abbe Lowell, a Washington lawyer who has represented clients such as former presidential candidate John Edwards and lobbyist Jack Abramoff. And the couple are employing crisis PR person Judy Smith, who has represented big names like Monica Lewinsky, Michael Vick and Kobe Bryant.

They look and act like SKANKS!!! ALL OF THEM!!
You better start thinking a little DEEPER.....this is WAAAAAY beyond affairs......this is all about Ptreaus’s testimony about BENGHAZI, and ALLEN also is about destroying top Generals that might not be on Obama’s side in everything.
That reminds me of a story.
I was driving my daughters home from grade school when we passed by an orange VW van parked in someone's side yard with a for sale sign on it. They aren't too common a sight, and for my daughters the only other time they had seen one was in the movie Back to the Future. My older daughter said "Look! A lesbian terrorist vehicle!" We have called them that ever since.
But the sex must have been great!
According to Paula Broadwell’s father, there is much much more to this story than an affair and emails:
“But Broadwell’s father said Sunday his daughter is the victim of character assassination and implied the bombshell story is just a smoke screen for something bigger.
“This is about something else entirely, and the truth will come out,” Broadwell’s dad, Paul Krantz, told the Daily News outside his home in Bismarck, N.D.
“There is a lot more that is going to come out,” said Krantz, claiming he was not allowed to elaborate. “You wait and see. There’s a lot more here than meets the eye.”
I wonder if they knew the Dunhams while they were in Lebanon.
Honestly, I wouldn’t go to the bank on what her daddy says.
Wait and see.
People with lots of bad debt are security risks. Just sayin’.
Of course you can’t take it on face value because he could just be trying to deflect in defence of his daughter. But this is the first indication that there is some substance to the speculation we’ve been seeing on Fox and FreeRepublic about this being something far more insidious than just an affair by a horny old general. There is enough information in that statement that Broadwell’s father should be given a subpoena. Put up or shut up.
Okay, so we got General Allen and the shirtless, unnamed FBI agent. And Jill Kelley likes to pal around with general officers. Anybody think she’s a security risk?
At the behest of whom, I wonder?
Usually, I don't question "lawyering up," it is the prudent thing to do. But Abbe Lowell? Someone in her financial shape? Someone owing millions? Where is that money coming from?
It might not be a popular opinion, but I am starting to think Broadwell is the victim in this part of the saga. (I'm so over the affair, a red herring)
Have been half following all this....Off topic:Is there any mention of how much cash was in Benghazi facilities? Just a thought, but did they pay informants or buy back guns with cash. If so, has it been accounted for? If we don’t know, how would one find out?
The FBI agent was playing the hero for Jill baby. And he wound up toppling Petraeus. Your government at work.
Does the FBI agent pay any price for letting his amours influence his judgment?
More like a “loony toon, sour grapes, can’t deal with reality, get over it, Obutthead derangement syndrome, right wing nut”...
I are one......
sfl
Meanwhile I expect some really bad movies to be made out of this.
Maybe Jill Kelley asked for the shirtless photo in an effort to compromise the FBI agent. Anyone with any training in counterespionage would have become suspicious of the Kelleys. What about the husband? He’s got to be part of this as well. Looks more Lebanese than Irish, but I could be wrong. Bet you’ll find something there as well. The sister was married to someone who had a lot to do with the Iraq Coalition contracting efforts and he was/is a big name in DC also.
Yeah ‘cause THAT’S all that matters...
It’s ALL about the Big O.......
