Embedded: Petraeus Was Screwing His Biographer; Claim Made She Was Trying to Access His Emails

One way to get the inside story.

The woman with whom Gen. David Petraeus was having an affair is Paula Broadwell, the author of a recent hagiographic book about him, All In: The Education of General David Petraeus.

Petraeus resigned as CIA director on Friday, citing the affair.

A tweet from "Breaking News" (no idea who this is) says:

Breaking News ‏@BreakingNews

FBI investigating Petraeus biographer Paula Broadwell for improperly trying to access his email, officials tell @NBCNews

So, is she hot?

Ehhh... Got somethin'.

Here she is, talking about her book about Petraeus, called, yes, All In.

You know, if you watch that interview, she does actually sound like she's having sex with him. It's a very "we did this, we did that" sort of thing. She sounds like she's talking about her boyfriend.

Corrected: I changed the email thing to a "claim," and dropped the claim that she was trying to get into his classified email.

The claim doesn't even say that.

However, given that he's head of the CIA, all of his email would be classified, it seems to me.

More: Apparently she is suspected of attempting to access classified emails.

Like I said, I assume all of his emails are classified.

The biographer for resigning CIA Director David Petraeus is under FBI investigation for improperly trying to access his email and possibly gaining access to classified information, law enforcement officials told NBC News on Friday.

But they say they do not expect the investigation to end in criminal charges.

Huh?
