Jill Kelley turned to friend — and Tampa FBI agent — for help [shirtless photo a gag]
St. Petersburg - Tampa Bay Times ^ | November 15, 2012 | Times staff and wires

Posted on 11/15/2012 1:35:38 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

TAMPA — Frederick W. Humphries II helped make the FBI's cases against a would-be bomber on the West Coast and a university student in Tampa.

But the investigation he is most certainly going to be remembered for is one that led to the downfall of CIA director and retired Gen. David Petraeus.

Humphries was revealed Wednesday night as the Tampa FBI agent who took the complaints from socialite Jill Kelley that started a cyberstalking investigation and uncovered Petraeus' affair with biographer Paula Broadwell.

"He and his wife have been social friends of Mr. and Mrs. Kelley for years," the attorney, Lawrence Berger said. "Apparently, she felt threatened and she went to him. He had no further involvement in the investigation."

Earlier this week, a report in the Wall Street Journal depicted the agent as "obsessed" with the case, once sending a shirtless picture of himself to Kelley, who often threw extravagant parties for military brass at her South Tampa mansion.

Berger confirmed that Humphries had, indeed, sent a shirtless photo of himself to Kelley several years ago — but said the picture was part of a series of jokes between the families.

In the photo, he said, Humphries appeared without a shirt standing between two firing-range dummies. It was not of a sexual nature, Berger said.

[SNIP]

Berger, the general counsel for the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, took issue with the way Humphries is being portrayed. He said he believes someone in the FBI is spreading false information about Humphries to embarrass him.

"I think there's a leaker in the bureau," Berger told the Tampa Bay Times. "Somebody has it in for my guy."

These people are incestuous, social-climbing, leeches living high and partying on our dime.

They certainly are not patriots.

Thanks for the link. I will take a hard look.

We KNOW the WH is HIDING the Kelley/Khawam and WH staffer connection. Why?

I been exploring this from a different angle.

http://www.tampabay.com/news/military/macdill/jill-kelleys-world-white-house-visits-meals-with-generals-and/1262009

On Oct. 24, the sisters had lunch in the White House Mess with a White House staffer. That followed a Sept. 28 breakfast between the same three people.

The White House declined to name the staffer, saying his identity would become public in a few months when visitor logs are posted. But an official said the staffer had gotten to know Jill Kelley through connections to MacDill.

The man worked as a civilian lawyer in Afghanistan and got to know military personnel, who invited him to MacDill, where he met Kelley. He now works as a lawyer in the White House.

My gut feeling is that there is a LOT more beneath the murky waters to this whole nest.

Remember the comment made under oath about having el quaida in the house?
Woke up thinking if there was a connection between the twins a VJ? Would she have had access to change the wording, or hire the person the twins are seeing at the WH

Here is the quote:

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/10/security-officer-on-state-department-blocking-requests-for-me-the-taliban-is-inside-the-building/

The former regional security officer in Libya, Eric Nordstrom, recalled talking to a regional director and asking for twelve security agents.
“His response to that was, ‘You are asking for the sun, moon and the stars.’ And my response to him – his name was Jim – ‘Jim, you know what makes most frustrating about this assignment? It is not the hardships, it is not the gunfire, it is not the threats. It is dealing and fighting against the people, programs and personnel who are supposed to be supporting me. And I added (sic) it by saying, ‘For me the Taliban is on the inside of the building.’”

Haunting.

TY, bonfire.
Thinking out of the box again. If I had something to hide (birth, adgenda, connections etc) and I were POTUS I'd want someone keeping an eye on the CIA, FBI, military to make sure they didn't investigate me and my company. Could Pet and his pet have gotten too close to something? Still not sure that it was a sexual affair that cements the relationship. All of a sudden the General says “I did have sex with that woman!” Somehow it does NOT seem to be “all about the sex”.

Blackmail yes, Maniputations and control games going on.

Post #75:

https://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/14/us/tampa-social-scene-at-center-of-petraeus-scandal.html

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.

**Christmas dinner, daughter’s wedding? This implies the Khawamian twins were very close to the Petraeus family, especially Holly, who presumably would be extending the invites.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2232932/anne.html

Jill Kelley - whose own alleged relationship with General John Allen has led to his nomination to lead American troops in Europe being put on hold - was invited to the (Oct. 13) wedding of Anne Petraeus and Matt Mauney, alongside her twin sister Natalie Khawam, MailOnline can reveal.

Pictures taken at the nuptials clearly show Kelley, 37, standing just behind the elegant bride as she claps along to a band and mingles with guests said to have included Vice President Joe Biden - and illustrate just how far the ambitious brunette had infiltrated the high-powered political world.

Makes sense to me. Too many coincidences with these FLA gals. Still wonder about those emails between Jill and Paula. Certainly not NORMAL convo between women in a cat fight. Didn’t seem like they were strangers and got the impression Jill knew exactly who she was talking to.

Maybe she went to her FBI friend to scare Ms Broadwell then was warned off. (by her “handlers”) She had too much to expose and acted on impulse. Would love to see her phone records, btw.

My thoughts all over the place but I DO think you could be on the right track.

Remember that emails warning them away from the twins were not just sent to one general but to many. “They” had discovered something that they could not take to the FBI and had no control in CIA. Media? Not likely. Congress? Who could you trust? How do you get there to testify?
Only something on the very top would leave “no place to go” But something had to be done to bring a “situation” to light. To blow someones cover and make them not effective.

Plus, Pet needed a way to get out of the situation he found himself in.

Looks like from Maggie's post HE may be the one writing the book.

Add these dates to the timeline.

Kelley was at the WH three times this fall. (Paula Broadwell’s been there twice as well.)

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2234433/Petraeus-scandal-The-White-House-lawyer-took-Jill-Kelley-1600-Pennsylvania-Avenue-THREE-times.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

Kelley and her twin sister, Natalie Khawam, had two ‘courtesy’ meals in the mess at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as guests of a mid-level aide in September and October, a White House official said. Kelley and her family also received a tour of the presidential residence on the weekend before the November 6 election.

They attended the Petraeus daughter’s wedding on 10/13.

In September Jill was in NY attempting score $80 mil on the coal gasification deal.

“Victor said he met Kelley at the Republican Convention in Tampa in September where she boasted about her close contacts with General David Petraeus.”
