In reply to the discussion: Three women intertwine in downfall of David Petraeus [View all]dixiegrrrrl
(60,010 posts)26. It is even more interesting than that.
Petreus, a Republican, having an affair with Broadwell,
who is sending threatening emails to Jill Kelley,
who is having "inappropriate" emails with Petreus' successor, General Allen,
whose confirmation hearing to replace Petreus is now "on hold" while a "fast track" hearing is held to have someone replace Allen.
And Jill Kelley's sister is married to a guy involved in making lots of money from Bush's Iraq invasion.
While Jill Kelley has a VERY fast track rise of becoming the social maven of high ranking military social circles.
Fast track enough that she and her husband are being sued by creditors.
Looking at that pattern....there appears to be LOTS of connections yet to be discovered.
