FTA: "First question: How did that initial email come to light?"

Easy; they were snooping unsecured "freeemail"


"Second question: Who authorized the Bureau to pore over all his email communication?"

Why would the bureau require anyone´s authorization to snoop freemail? That´s what they do...

Valerie Jarrett. You´re welcome.

FTA: ´´Third question: Who were the agents given access to Petraeus´ communications? Presumably, they read a lot of emails that weren´t related to the past affair and likely contained top secret and classified information. What security clearance did these agents have?´´

This is a primary question to ask. Since the Clinton administration, it was obvious that the dRATS never took National security seriously, especially getting proper clearance for staff with access to it. 0bamaNation is no different. It stands to reason that our enemies [and that includes Al Qaeda] have the easy ability to steal our secrets. How else could they claim to shoot down one of our predator drones?

And, let US not forget the point of next week, the looking into of Congress of who leaked intel of Benghazi visit and on who to ´´blame´´ IN OUR GOVERNMENT for the murder of Ambassador Stevens & the three other men.

Can´t wait for the audio/visual of that night to ´´leak´´ next.

Perhaps the FBI should be looking into Senator Menendez from New Jersey.

The more you/we look into/at the Obama Administration the more we/I relate to that old saying:"the sky is falling the sky is falling."?????

Does anyone think the FBI isn`t always monitoring the `higher up`s` in govn?

Sounds the old days with J. Edgar Hoover.

Dig deep. Too much of this is distraction.

Isn´t Panetta scheduled to testify before Congress? Remember that Panetta can be a man of integrity when he chooses to do so. He resigned in disgust when the Monica thing because too big for Clinton´s denials to be believed. If he was ordered/pressured/whatever to sit on the Petraeus story until after the election, is he really willing to lie under oath about it? We´ll see.

Gee, let me guess.

#ntegrity is a not a sometime thing. You either have it or you don´t. (Sort of like that seinfeld episode where Elaine is hired by Mr. Pitts, and the question was grace.)

Separate from that, it makes sense to me that hillary would have her stubby fat fingers in this petraeus affair.
I suspect she will be appointed by President Zero as CIA director to enhance her resume, for 2016.

SO right about integrity...The only reason Panetta is free to ever disagree with Obama is cuz he is a longtime Democrat hack. Obama won´t hurt him. Petraeus was foolish to ever agree to serve under Obama. He was always disposable as used Kleenex to Obama.

Every erroneous decision seems to belong to ValJar.

Unless I misunderstand Flynn, he seems to think that this was some official email account. It was a personal Gmail account.

I believe someone noticed that something was going on between Petraeus and Broadwell (that is usually more obvious than the starr-eyed smitten believe) and the word went up the line, hence the FBI look at his personal email account.

This is what I was wondering this morning. remember how 911 happened because the CIA and FBI couldn´t share info because of the Gorelick memo?


Obama had to know about the affair and probably transferred General to CIA to break the parties up.

But the whole idea of internal spying is very disconcerting.These people have eyeballs on everybody,especially through your internet travels with Google and facebook.

There´s been quite a few things recently that the left wing privacy nuts have ignored after hammering Bush over his phone call intercepts.They couldn´t care less that Obamas doing the same thing.

Our brand of Fascism will be no different than the historical ones,now that Obama has free reign over the country.

From another posted article:

The beginning of the end came for CIA Director David Petraeus when Paula Broadwell, a younger married woman with whom he was having an affair, “or someone close to her had sought access to his email,” according to the Wall Street Journal’s description of an FBI probe. Associates of Petraeus had received “anonymous harassing emails” that were then traced to Broadwell, ABC’s Martha Raddatz reported, suggesting she may have found their names or addresses in his e-mail.

Say What! The FBI is spying on the head of the CIA, and the CIA doesn´t know about it?

Petraeus will testify, unless they do him in violently. He should be in a witness protection program.

Cf. Admiral Boorda; they found a convenient cover story for that too.

Does the name Valerie Jarrett strike a familiar note?

The FBI is officially responsible for counterintelligence operations inside the USA. Any person holding the position of Director, CIA is naturally a target of foreign intelligence agencies. When such targeting does occur, it is the job of the FBI to know that is occurring. If the FBI were not looking all the time, they would never know until it was too late.

highly doubtful that classified information was transmitted between Petraeus and Broadwell, whether their chats were conducted over personal gmail or normal official email. secure (classified) communications are conducted over secure servers, will both/all parties requiring appropriate clearances and need-to-know.

The finger pointing went round and round on Benghazi and finally stopped on the CIA.
