General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Jill Kelley: Petraeus, Allen asked me to help silence 'Bubba the Love Sponge' [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)enough with Gen. Allen that the FBI uncovered thousands of email exchanges between the two. And there is no question that Gen Petraeus was also close friends with her family. There is no denial from either of these two Generals regarding their close friendships with Kelley and her sister for that matter.
They spend Christmas with her eg.
And the close friendship was noted by Broadwell enough to cause her to send her anonymous emails telling her to back off basically.
She was also good friends with the Mayor. So I don't see why SHE should be slammed necessarily for simply referring to these close relationships. The question is why two top Generals and a whole lot of other top Government officials were that close to these women. What kind of judgement is that? As we can see from the results now.
Broadwell, eg, Petraeus' mistress, revealed in a talk before they were outed, that the CIA was holding prisoners in the Bengazi annex near the Embassy. She claimed this was why there was an attack, to release those prisoners. Who gave her the authority to expose that information and worse, where did she get it?
The question here isn't the women, there are always people willing to hang around with people of power. The questions include 'what kind of National Security' protection was this considering how we are told the entire country needs to be spied 'for our own safety', and here we have Generals running around providing info to a bunch of socialites?
