9. what about Paula being the social companion of the general at social functions?

Nov 2012

I read somewhere, to my surprise, that this bio author, Paula, sometimes accompanied
the general to social functions (I would have thought the general's wife did that).

Maybe there was some disagreement between Paula and Jill about who should get what invitation to some
social event or something like that? With Jill thinking the wife Holly should come, and Paula demanding she, Paula,
get her name on some list to attend an event? Something like that?

It seems like that is possible in light of the military "social liaison" position of Jill. Some conflict with RSVP-ing to a
military social event / and who would attend with the general, with Paula insisting it would be her, Paula, and Jill
insisting it had to be the general's wife, Holly.

Just a guess.

though I am wondering what federal criminal law would be involved in this anobserver2 Nov 2012 #1
I think the investigation has more to do with national security and to prevent potential bribery rightsideout Nov 2012 #13

Yes, this makes more sense to me aletier_v Nov 2012 #14
I don't think any credible scenario exists yet to explain everything anobserver2 Nov 2012 #16
I disagree. I think the overall behavior says the affair was known aletier_v Nov 2012 #21
NY Daily News has quotes from Paula's dad who says "something bigger is going on" anobserver2 Nov 2012 #22
I agree. Something bigger is going on and it's not Benghazi coverup aletier_v Nov 2012 #24

My 2 cents... Sophiegirl Nov 2012 #23
According to Patraeus, the affair had ended aletier_v Nov 2012 #25

Yes, the story doesn't hold together. aletier_v Nov 2012 #27
I agree. Something is really off about the official story. nt Mojorabbit Nov 2012 #31
