28. She was a military intelligence officer with security clearance

Prosecutors are now determining whether to charge Broadwell with a crime, and this morning the FBI and military are pouring over the material. The 40-year-old author, who wrote the biography on Gen. Petraeus "All In," is cooperating and the case, which is complicated by the fact that as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Military Reserve she had security clearance to review the documents.

I imagine it would have been very easy for her to get access to the buildings and those documents. The real question is what specific documents she was interested in and why. If they are all related to the Petraeus biography, it's much less scandalous than if she continued to acquire documents after the book was written for some other purpose.
