The Plot Thickens

The mere fact the FBI removed boxes of classified material from
the home of Paula Broadwell, one of the mistresses of former CIA chief, General
David Patraeus, is an indication she crossed the line in her dealings with him
in more ways than one.
David Patraeus and Paula Broadwell
Broadwell, the author of Patraeus' biography
had already published the
book. Therefore, why would she have possession of boxes of classified files
belonging to the state. Why
was she allowed to take the documents to her house in the first place.
Paula Broadwell
Broadwell's character is in question, as she threatened one of Patraeus' other
mistresses, Jill Kelley, in conduct that is unlawful, which resulted in the scandal that led to his resignation. In order for Broadwell to have gained
clearance to have access to Patraeus, she would have undergone an FBI background
check, which she passed, despite these blaring issues. The FBI background check
clearly has holes in it.
