Was Petraeus told by Obama to hold his resignation until after the election?? I do believe Petraues has been set up and blackmailed by Obama....with forethought and malice.
The gloves have come off!
In emails she sent to the mayor of Tampa, local socialite Jill Kelley is calling David Petraeus’ mistress Paula Broadwell a “criminal” and accused her of “stalking us all.”

“I wouldn’t care — if they got the facts right and the focus was on the criminal that stalked all of us,” she added in a reference to Broadwell. “But the truth will one day prevail.”
As RadarOnline.com has been reporting, Kelly set off the Petraeus sex scandal after she began receiving anonymous threatening emails warning her to stay away from the general-turned CIA Director.
