FBI agents found hundreds of classified documents on Paula Broadwell’s home computers
2016-06-08
[Charlotte Observer] FBI agents found hundreds of classified documents on Paula Broadwell’s home computers in Charlotte during their investigation into her relationship with then-CIA Director David Petraeus, according to newly unsealed FBI documents obtained by the Observer.

More than 300 of those documents were classified as secret, according to a 2013 FBI affidavit accompanying the agency’s request to search Petraeus’ Arlington, Va., home.

The documents, which were unsealed Tuesday by the U.S. District Court in Eastern Virginia, offer new details of the sweeping federal investigation into the relationship between Broadwell, a Charlotte author, and Petraeus, a highly decorated military commander, the subject of Broadwell’s book as well as her former lover.

The probe uncovered their affair, revealed their mishandling of classified documents and lead to Petraeus’ resignation as head of the CIA. Last year, Petraeus pleaded guilty in Charlotte to a misdemeanor charge of mishandling government documents and was fined $100,000.

Broadwell, the author of Petraeus’ biography, was never charged. Legal experts say her role as a journalist made any prosecution problematic.

#3  Think Broader Foundation.

She now has her own non-for-profit encouraging the world to fight gender bias. How lovely and ironic.

#2  Look on the bright side! Since Petraeus did it, Shrillary should get a free pass!

Total rubbish! She 'was never charged' simply because the spill over would have further sullied the general. Petraeus was one of the key architects of the UBL takedown as well as events in Libya and Benghazi.

It's sun dried and crusted over. Please don't kick it and we can continue to enjoy the pleasant meadow fragrances.
