She was questioned by the FBI on October 21. She handed over her computer. It was said there was classified info on the computer that did not come from Petaeus. What we do not know is what type of security clearance she had or if she has any undercover ties to the CIA or any other agency.
She gave a speech October 26, 2012 in Denver. One of the first references, dated November 11, 2012 was here:
Broadwell: Petraeus Knew of Benghazi Plea for Help
I do not agree with much of what she said, but she dropped a bombshell.
"The fact that came out today is that the ground forces there at the CIA annex, which is different from the consulate, were requesting reinforcements.
"They were requesting the – it's called the C-in-C's In Extremis Force – a group of Delta Force operators, our very, most talented guys we have in the military. They could have come and reinforced the consulate and the CIA annex. Now, I don't know if a lot of you have heard this but the CIA annex had actually taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner, and they think that the attack on the consulate was an attempt to get these prisoners back. It's still being vetted.
"The challenging thing for Gen. Petraeus is that in his new position, he's not allowed to communicate with the press. So he's known all of this – they had correspondence with the CIA station chief in Libya, within 24 hours they kind of knew what was happening."
She is not stupid. I find it hard to believe this was a slip of the tongue. She also knows the consequences of revealing classified information. Knowing the consequences, she added a few more important pieces to the Benghazi puzzle which makes it more difficult for the admin to lie.
Last night her home was search by the FBI in spite of the fact that we were all told the investigation was over, there was no wrong doing, no threats to National Security.
One can only assume the decision to search her home was made after the feds learned about her 10/26 speech. A reasonable action.
What is not reasonable is the lack of reporting about this turn of the story. What did we wake up to this morning? General Allen sending 20,000 to 30,000 emails to Jill Kelley. Sex, sex and more sex.
I just checked the WaPo and NYT's front pages at their websites. Maybe I missed it (old eyes) but not one mention of her speech and the resulting search. That tells me all I need to know about how damaging the info is to the WH.
Thank you very much for the reply. If it were not for alternative sources for our news, we would be completely in the dark.
