Lawyers bail on Florida woman in Petraeus saga
[Politico] The lawyers for a Florida woman who claims her privacy was invaded during federal investigations into former Central Intelligence Agency Director David Petraeus are seeking to drop out of her lawsuit against the government, new court filings show.Jill Kelley filed the Privacy Act lawsuit in 2013, charging that the FBI and Pentagon leaked personal information about her -- including messages from her personal email account -- after she triggered federal probes that led investigators to uncover Petraeus' extramarital affair with biographer Paula Broadwell. The inquiries also set in motion Petraeus' resignation in November 2012 and his guilty plea last February to a charge of mishandling classified information. Kelley and her husband, Dr. Scott Kelley, retained a leading privacy attorney, Alan Raul of Chicago-based law firm Sidley Austin, to bring the high-profile suit against the federal government.
