‘Flirtatious’ But Not Sexual? Fox Source Details Gen. Allen’s Relationship With Petraeus Whistleblower

Nov. 13, 2012 3:01pm Erica Ritz

Jennifer Griffin, who broke many explosive Benghazi-related stories, discussed a number of breaking developments between General Allen and State Department liaison Jill Kelley this morning on Fox News.

Kelley’s name was first introduced to the national media after she received “threatening” emails from David Petraeus’s lover Paula Broadwell, but the situation became far more curious after it was revealed that General Allen was also engaged in “inappropriate” correspondence with the woman.

Noting that Allen is the “new name” in what has been a growing scandal since Petraeus resigned as CIA Director on Friday over his extramarital affair, the host asked Griffin whether anybody thinks General Allen “has done anything wrong.”

Griffin responded:

“They certainly think he may have done something wrong, that’s why the DOD inspector general is investigating him. The FBI came to the inspector general with about 20,000-30,000 pages of emails– inappropriate emails they say that may suggest an inappropriate relationship with Jill Kelley, they’re investigating that.

“But we’re told from one senior U.S. official [that] the emails may have been flirtatious, but other officials suggest that it may not be the sexual relationship that is being investigated, it may be some other form of inappropriate relationship of a non-sexual nature.

“Officials told the Washington Post that there were not 20,000-30,000 emails sent, but that it was a few hundred emails exchanged including long email chains that, once printed out, became 20,000-30,000 pages long, and that led to the long page count.” [Emphasis added]

After discussing General Joe Dunford’s confirmation as the next commander in Afghanistan, Griffin was interrupted with more breaking news.

“A senior U.S. Defense official does tell us that the emails with Jill Kelley– between General Allen and Jill Kelley, were flirtatious in nature, but General Allen is contending that the relationship was not of a sexual nature,” she related.

Which leaves many asking– is General Allen lying, or, as some officials have suggested, was he engaged in an “inappropriate” relationship with Kelley that truly was not-sexual? If so, what sort of relationship would that be? Could it be related to a security leak?

  The entire scandal shows a culture that is created by the Commander in Chief. Read fresh political commentary at: http://smallcraftadvisorychronicles.blogspot.com/

This is a scandal that runs deep. This woman and her sisters unmarried last names are Khawam. This is a SYRIAN name. Is this just a coincidence that a person of SYRIAN heritage is at at the center of a CIA scandal ? Is this a coincidence that this person of SYRIAN heritage has access to US Generals and access to a US military Base? Was the CIA involved in shipping Lybian weapons from the fall of kadaffi to the Syrian rebel forces? Does she have a CAC card for access to this military installation? How does she gain access to McDill?? Something is not right here>>

Two vaginas, two disgraced 4 star Generals. If it wasn’t for the ****** contact with women of any sort would be unnecessary. Two men who have done so much for America not only bowing to a stupid woman with nothing more than status in her thinking, now having to bow to an administration that could care less that they exist and looks at them as something to blow away in the wind.
Look for more of this stuff in the future, the start of disassembling the military to prevent any possibility there could be a coup in the future. Officers loyal to Obama will be put in place. The next step is the civilian army to spy and betray any civilian unrest.

  Way to come out of the closet there. Blame the dame. Ya, that’s who is at fault! Sorry, but I couldn’t disagree more.
  
  Not to mention Patreus himself is as anti-constitutional as you can get. Not to mention he’s fully on board with any and all of Obama’s policies (sorry, I mean the policies of the movement, ideology, and people behind it he is the actor in chief for). You don’t hire a man who is retiring to be your CIA chief in an administration so hell bent on ensuring every single member is on the same page, unless he’s…on the same page. You let him retire.
  
  Is Patreus an amazing general who changed the direction of two illegal (by US constitutional standards…they are) non properly declared wars? Yes, he is quite an adept military commander. However the only other general charged with changing the direction of two campaigns had far more difficult enemies with better weapons and far larger numbers. So arguably we’re giving credit to a man who helped us win easy wars. Maybe we should rethink how generals are selected in the first place.
  
  That said, the man is an abomination of freedom, and is fully happy and willing to subjugate and spy on every American citizen. So please, don’t start with the war hero bullcrap, as it does not give any man the right to gleefully run over the US constitution, or continue to support an agenda that is destroying US sovereignty. Then there’s his actions and statements in Benghazi…yep, such an “honorable” man.

Not sexual?? Define “inappropriate” then. Was he playing pocket pool behind a computer screen when he was suppose to be leading our troops or are we back to ‘what the definition of is is’?? Today’s REAL news look like skits from old episodes of SNL. It hurts to laugh anymore.

  I think there’s a story here. Being “flirtatious” is not saying: ‘I just want to be your friend’. However, I believe there is Syrian connection that is being covered up BIG TIME. The truth may BEGIN to set us free, don’t know..?? In the mean time, they keep distracting with these kinds of stories.

Kelley’s maiden name is Khawam. I believe that may be of Syrian origin. She has apparently worked extremely hard to develop very valuable high level military connections. Very good American citizen or a very good middle eastern source?

So the FBI kept an investigation quiet due to its rules but announced an investigation and emails regarding the other general while that one is in progress? Right.

All of this crap is just a smoke screen to cover up Benghazi, from what I see here there is no crimes committed. This kind of crap should be left to the tabloids. What a load of crap this is and the media is acting like a hungry dog on a bone. Maybe mayhem just dropped by for a visit to keep the little people occupied while the real bucket of crap sails on by.

So, again, why did Petreaus lie about Benghazi? He knew it was not about a video yet he lied to congress and that means he lied to the American people!

  One can just watch as the politicians craft the cover up of a political assassination to get Obama off with clean hands when they are dripping with the blood of four Americans. Talk about treason, these guys re re-defining it. I just can’t believe that the media is totally lost and barking up the wrong tree like something is there. Nothing is in that tree, no crimes have been committed, it’s a smokescreen, duh.

So many scandals popping up all at once makes you wonder huh? These are diversions designed to fool the easily fooled American public. Barry is being protected and we all know it,your typical simpleton Obama voter is easily fooled by these tactics.

  This is very true. It’s all a distraction, and in the end that’s how the administration wants it to be. Oh, and let’s not forget the media. Afterall, what’s that famous depressing slogan: “We’re all socialists now.”
