Yet more security concerns emerge about
Paula Broadwell’s access to Petraeus

Washington Post, by Max Fisher

Original Article

Posted By:earlybird, 11/11/2012 10:55:46 AM

Newly reported information about CIA Director David Petraeus’s alleged affair with Paula Broadwell, the military intelligence officer who also co-wrote a biography of the retired general, has focused more and more on the security risks that their secret relationship may have posed to the famously security-obsessed Central Intelligence Agency.(Snip)Broadwell’s access to Petraeus appears to have been high, perhaps inappropriately so, even before the e-mail threats and FBI investigation. The Associated Press reports that some in the CIA had worried at how freely their director had invited her into his world, and at the spotlight-seeking Broadwell’s care

Comments:
Members of the intelligence community were troubled by her access to Petraeus where "need to know" keeps members from sharing information with spouses.

Broadwell posted on her Facebook page a photo of Petraeus and Angelina Jolie that had been taken in his office where only a CIA photographer is permitted to take photos. Petraeus had given it to Broadwell within hours after it was taken.

"Spotlight-seeking" was my first thought about Broadwell. This had nothing to do with sex from her point of view, though that had to have been a handy way to get what she was after.

The game begins -- the media will make all of this about Paula Broadwell and conveniently letting the real story fall by the waist side.

Can´t believe people are going to fall for this -- again

Hmmm. And way down at the end this tidbit:

That Petraeus would invite someone into his personal and professional world — especially someone who was well known for being temperamental — without regard for normal security standards would be no small breach.

"well-known for being temperamental"?

Last night I found myself wondering why Mrs. Broadwell was no longer on active duty. One would have thought that someone as "driven" as she said she was would not have worked her way (or whatever) up through the ranks to end up a four-star general. Surely this self-admitted over-achiever would not have thought that beyond her abilities.

So what happened. When and why did she leave the active military? (She is said to have gone from a captain in active service to a lieutenant colonel in the reserve.) Was she "temperamental"?

The process begins of totally destroying Petraeus. Thus, when he is eventually forced to testify about Benghazi, his credibility will be gone...or he will be blamed for refusing military support to those on the ground as yet another episode of bad judgement.

Broadwell and Petrarus do not worry me as much as the 4 year relationship of Huma and Hillary.

Qwick - the head of the CIA is going to testify against us. What can we do about it?


Smells like revenge to me.

I don´t know if the stories are true about her, but it´s reminding me thus far of Rielle Hunter and John Edwards. The grasping, the forceful woman. Nodding head, yes it is.

The concern here is that Obama was given information that could or was used to keep Petraeus quiet. He resigned and made the information publc, so it could not be used.

There are good and decent people working in the federal civil service, including many of my classmates. And they will remain silent for just so long before they start to come out of the woodwork to tell the dirty stories on President Zero and his minions.
That is the self correcting factor in our republic. Expect alot more to come out.

Broadwell is toast? Really? Not economically. How much do you think a publisher will pay Broadwell for this story?

Angelina Jolie indeed, have to wonder if that is the woman the threatening emails were sent to? If she was, that will come out and this will enter the land of Hollyweird.

Is it just me, or does anyone else wonder what Angenlina Jolie was doing in the private office of the Director of the CIA? Did AJ have a security clearance? It seems to me Petraeus, like all too many people, has had his head turned by celebrity -- hers, and apparently his own.


Reply 17 - Posted by: bighambone, 11/11/2012 12:48:56 PM     (No. 9007271)

Why would Angelina Jolie be in Mr. Petraeus´s private 7th floor office at CIA Headquarters?

And yet no concerns about Hillary´s right hand Hamas woman? The woman with direst ties to Muslim Brotherhood? Where is that concern? Broadwell´s apparently is a stable as the fem fatale bunny killer and should have never been given access to the General yet it was allowed? Set up? Wonder what her background is? Somewhere in her past a tie to deadfish? Axle dud? Something definitely stinks like a dead fish....in this whole mess...again when did treason and murder trump adultery and stupidity...

By the time the distraction of this lurid story is permitted to blow over by the mainstream media, nobody will be able to figure out where they hid the Benghazi scandal.

The news media deserve nothing but contempt for their habit of manipulating coverage/non-coverage of stories as a way of misleading viewers and readers. I´m not ready to throw out Freedom of the Press -- but this cabal of propagandists are really pushing it...

Something "stinks like a dead fish"? Really #18?

I don´t believe in coincidence.....and this seems to be a resignation of coincidence...again not that I condone adultery...I don´t but you didn´t see Clinton resigning due to his pant´s dropping. Have no doubt there is a lot of that going on in this administration now, the adulterous behavior...see anybody else resigning? There is probably something more to the whole stinking mess...and yes I believe there was a threat issued to the General from o´s minions of mayhem....

I read the article and was going to post after I read the posts and when I got to #3 I saw that my opinion was already stated.

1) Petraeus pushes back on Obama´s illegal acts.

2) Broadwell assigned to seduce & get evidence for blackmailing the general. Her husband knew and later regretted agreeing to it.

3) Broadwell breaks it off when Petraeus to CIA, as her mission was complete.

4) When FBI involvement questioned, Kelley was inserted to pose as the source for the FBI... o muddy trail to the WH.

Both women are democrats, serving The Won.

Cincinnati agent giving
orders in IRS scandal?
WXIX-TV [Cincinnati], by Ben Swann    Original Article
Posted By: earlybird- 5/22/2013 11:04:31 AM     Post Reply
CINCINNATI, OH - The claim that the ongoing IRS scandal is limited to low level employees is falling apart. The six Cincinnati workers we have identified, who sent scrutinizing letters to conservative groups with words including "patriot, liberty, tea party or 9-12" in their names are Mitchel Steele, Carly Young, Joseph Herr, Stephen Seok, Liz Hofacre and a woman identified only as Ms. Richards. (Snip) Because all six of our IRS workers have different individual and territory managers, Cindy Thomas is one manager they all have common.

We can now officially call the Obama administration besieged. One of President Obama´s underlings is set to plead her Fifth Amendment Right against self-incrimination in the burgeoning IRS scandal. The Los Angeles Times broke the story: Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won´t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening - or why she didn´t disclose it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor III. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.

The friend said he left the interview, and when he came back to the apartment he found that there had been a shooting.

How Apple scores
its lower tax bill
CNN Money, by Jeanne Sahadi    Original Article
Posted By: earlybird- 5/22/2013 7:11:13 AM     Post Reply
Apple is one of America´s most profitable companies. And it pays a substantial income tax bill to the U.S. government -- by its own account, $6 billion in 2012 and an estimated $7 billion this year. But many tax experts and lawmakers say Apple´s tax bill should be bigger. A lot bigger. The concern is that Apple (Snip), while complying with U.S. laws, is nevertheless taking advantage of loopholes in the tax code to shift a substantial amount of income to offshore subsidiaries in low-tax countries. The result is billions of dollars in profits every year that go untaxed.

You almost have to admire Carl Levin´s timing. Amid a furor over politicized IRS tax enforcement, the Michigan Democrat on Tuesday tried to change the subject to a hardy Washington perennial—corporate tax loopholes. Too bad his designated business pinata, Apple, AAPL -0.74% demonstrates instead the insanity of the tax code that Mr. Levin has done so much to write. Mr. Levin unveiled the results of his months-long investigation into Apple´s corporate taxes (Snip)What Mr. Levin did not do was present any evidence of anything illegal or even inappropriate. He did prove that Apple has smart accountants and tax lawyers.

WASHINGTON — As the Internal Revenue Service´s last two directors struggled to provide answers Tuesday about the agency´s improper scrutiny of conservative groups, a lawyer for another key IRS official said she would invoke the 5th Amendment rather than answer questions about the screening and why she didn´t tell Congress about it. Lois Lerner, director of exempt organizations for the IRS, will assert her right against self-incrimination during her scheduled appearance Wednesday before the House oversight panel.

About “Bush Appointee” Doug Shulman …
Red State, by Dana Loesch    Original Article
Posted By: earlybird- 5/21/2013 1:39:04 PM     Post Reply
The left loves to remind everyone that the former IRS commissioner was a Bush appointee, because somehow this makes it OK that his IRS office abused power to criminally target conservatives. For a party that loves to blame Bush, they sure love signing off on everything Bush did and then maximizing it times eleventy. Shulman may have been a Bush appointee, but he was an Obama donor: Shulman donated $500 to the Democratic National Committee in 2004. So let’s start calling him “Democrat supporter” Doug Shulman. All this shows is that Bush wasn’t an ideological bigot.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement
