Timeline of events in generals scandal [She emailed generals weeks before she ever emailed Kelley]

May 2012 — Anonymous emails, ultimately traced to Broadwell, were [FIRST] sent to Gen. John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, and several other generals warning them to stay away from Kelley, the Florida socialite. The emails came from the pseudonym "Kelleypatrol" and included notes on Allen's plans to see Kelley in Washington the following week. Concerned about how anyone else would know about his personal plans, Allen forwarded the emails to Kelley to see whether she was playing a prank on them. Other generals also forward to Kelley copies of emails they received.

Early June 2012 — Kelley begins receiving additional emails directly from various anonymous email accounts claiming she's up to no good. One email mentions Petraeus and an upcoming social event in Washington.

I thought about it as you suggested. I think you are correct.

Yeah, and this guy is in charge of our security.

Someone says “you need to be careful of this person” and you go and email that person to say “should I be careful of you?”

Good God. We are screwed.

Makes the whole thing (aside from the affair) look quite differently doesn't it?

Methinks there are three separate things to consider:

1. Broadwell & Petraus were having an affair.
2. Kelley is a Hamas agent with access to the White House
3. Benghazi was an operation gone wrong and no help was sent.

So to 1. Big deal, not hardly. Bad, yes, end of the world? Nowhere near it.

On to 2. Big deal...you betcha it is! The biggest of all. A Hamas agent free ranging the White House can only mean one thing, our Fearless Leader knows and approves.

On to 3. Another Big deal, for several reasons: a. because people were murdered. b. because the White House is covering it up with eager participation by the press who is constantly bleating about Deal No. 1., and c. Deal No. 3 is directly related to Deal No. 2.

Do I have this right?

Apparently a bunch of generals have no common sense about their own security.

Furthermore...

Indeed, Mr. Petraeus and his wife grew so close to the Kelleys that they hosted the couple and Ms. Kelley’s twin sister, Natalie Khawam, for Christmas dinner last year.

And ALSO:

Despite the disposition of Petraeus and Broadwell's relationship today (and even considering that they ended the sex when Petraeus said they did (July 2012), they remained on very friendly terms at least up to their public exposure, if not to this day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Petraeus knows more than he or FBI are saying. If he remains on good terms with Broadwell, what is that saying? What if Broadwell's emails to the generals were a misguided effort to protect them from from being blackmailed?

Whatever you may think of Broadwell's character (think the worst), why would her first emails be to the generals?

Why would she jeopardize her relationship with Petraeus and her newly released book to send emails in MAY warning "generals"? At that time, her relationship with Petraeus was A-ok and undisclosed to the public.

Prospero: even setting aside that aspect, whose work by FRED NERKS and Brown Deer drew me back to this Jill Kelley radius of the Benghazigate center, Petraeus was apparently on-board with Kelley until...

Except for the ending of their sexual relationship, I don't see in the timeline that Petraeus ever thought Broadwell betrayed their relationship. In fact, he might have viewed her misguided efforts to warn the generals as an effort to protect him and them.

That's why I find this little-highlighted addition about Kelley emailing generals first to the timeline as NEWS!

What else makes sense?

My view. Mrs. Kelley is a aloof, rich, bored and friendly housewife who likes to socialize and be involved with the community and help the military.

...and while she’s helping the military, she’s passing herself off as the honorary consul to south korea and trying to extort commissions on the proposed developement of a coal field through which it’s estimated she would have earned $80 million bucks, if the developer had been silly enough to cough up. But he didn’t.
Her function was primarily to act as a go-between the military brass and business-men from the middle east. The only community she was helping is herself.

If you scroll through this (now locked) thread you might just get a better idea of what the Kelley gang is all about.

If Broadwell starts the e-mail campaign with e-mails to the Generals (including Allen who so far as we know didn’t have an affair with Broadwell) then that weakens the green-eyed monster theory. Maybe Broadwell sees herself as a secret agent. She wouldn’t be the first Military Intelligence Officer to think that. The question then is “If the government knew the first e-mails from Broadwell were to Allen, then why did they come out with the jealous lover story?”

So Allen gets an anonymous e-mail warning him about Kelley. You know, they have computer Officers on staffs these days. Why didn’t Allen go to his computer staff people and have them look into this? Doesn’t make sense to send it to Kelley. If he did instead of running it through his computer people, then he’s too stupid to be a general.

“If the government knew the first e-mails from Broadwell were to Allen, then why did they come out with the jealous lover story?”
~~~~~~~~

Exactly! and correction...not just to Gen Allen, but Gen Allen and other generals.

Given that Broadwell, back in May 2012, had a perfectly functioning (albeit illicit) relationship with Petraeus, why would she jeopardize her relationship with Petraeus and her new book launch by sending emails to generals, warning them to stay away from Kelley?

My working theory, learning these new facts, is that Kelley may have tried to target Petraeus for extortion and Broadwell was trying to warn the generals as best she could.

So far, it’s the only thing that makes any sense to me. I never believed “the green-eyed monster theory.” The timeline for it was off.

I admit, my theory is nearly as incredulous, but it makes a little more sense...and the timeline works, as does why the ADM would push “the green-eyed monster theory.”

Could be. Kelley and her sister owe somewhere between 15-20 million dollars. I would think she’s looking for a bigger score.

Have you read much about these Lebanese sisters? They’re much worse than crazy.

I’m wondering if there really was an affair between Broadwell and Petreaus.

Some of these military guys may have been in cahoots with skimming money with these Lebanese wenches.

None of this emailing makes any sense whatsoever. Especially the part about Allen emailing Kelley about the anonymous email/s. If they were anonymous.

Very strange.

You have US Generals, spies, mob daughters, and the FBI all wrapped up in the same story. Is this fiction or what?
