Now Fox Sources Claim the ‘Flirtatious’ Emails to Gen. Allen Were Much, Much More: Like ‘Phone Sex’

Fox Says Jill Kelley, John Allen Emails Were Like Phone Sex

Yesterday we brought you the claim by a Fox News source that the thousands of pages of emails exchanged between Florida woman Jill Kelley (who one left-wing blog suggests could be a spy) were “flirtatious” but that the relationship was not sexual in nature. But now the network is bringing to light other sources who seem to suggest — at least in the emails — the relationship was quite steamy.

“One senior defense official initially described the nature of the communications between Allen and Kelley as ‘flirtatious,’” the new report says. “However, two U.S. officials later told Fox News that Allen’s contact with Kelley was more than just general flirting. One official described some of the emails as sexually explicit and the ‘equivalent of phone sex over email.’”

Another source assures Fox that if the emails were harmless, Defense Secretary Leon Panneta wouldn’t have turned the situation over to a special investigator:

“This was a serious enough matter that those who examined the emails thought it should be referred to the secretary of defense, and the secretary made the decision to turn it over to the inspector general,” the official said. “He would not have thrust this into the limelight without good cause.”

Kelley is the woman who is also involved in the David Petraeus scandal. She was the one who was harassed by Petraeus’s mistress, Paula Broadwell, and whose complaints to the FBI eventually led to the discovery of Petraeus’s impropriety.

Allen still remains the head of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan. He was expected to be confirmed after a Senate hearing on Thursday to head U.S. and NATO forces in Europe. That, however, is now on hold pending the investigation.

“Gen. Allen disputes that he has engaged in any wrongdoing in this matter,” a source told Fox.

I don’t care about an affair other than it has been known by Holder and co. for months now and did not serve a useful purpose until the Bengazi tragedy happened, now its suddenly it has a usefulness. Once again, the liar in chief will look directly into the cameras and lie like the progressive POS he is and his posse will believe him and will ridicule and worse those who question his integrity (which he does not have nor know the definition of). Shame on all of these horrible people who see nothing wrong in lying, cheating, extorting and blackmailing all for power, prestige and money. I’ll di e a poor person but I will have my integrity and pride, both of which you cannot buy.

Your tax payer dollars at work. This is the socialized military. Officers get automatic promotions, nobody gets a bad evaluation report and it is more important that you be able to do 42 pushups in 2 minutes than it is for you to be trust worthy. Believe me people, character and honor are meaningless above the rank of Captain.

I wonder if Bill O’Reilly will use this phrasing.

20,000 emails to one woman? Surely at some point he wrote emails to others, maybe even official business. When did the General find time to fight the war!

  Looks like all the hormones were raging at the same time. Have you noticed how Gen Petraeus always seem to be erect.? Is Kelly, lesbianees, or Lebanese.? In the end, it will all be Bush’s fault.

People, please pay attention to what is going on, this is TAKING ATTENTION AWAY FROM LYBIA. Stayon Lybia.

Blaze writers, STAY ON TOP OF LYBIA, DO NOT LET THE STORY DIE. This is a direct attempt by this administration to get Lybia out of the public eye. It needs to stay under a freaking micoroscope. There are impeachable offenses for what happened in Lybia.

  I keep Benghazi on my mind always. Often discuss it with those around me as well other friends in emails. But, I refuse to put on blinders and ignore these peripheral happenings that are somewhat related. Remember, from the beginning, Petraeus stood in front of the cameras and claimed the same story that the White House, State Department, to include Susan Rice and all stated. That it was a spontaneous demonstration related to that in Egypt that eventually erupted into the attack. These two idiot generals, if it is true, willingly put their nuts in an open bear trap not considering what would happen if it tripped. They put their asses in positions to be blackmailed by international enemies as well our other enemies in this administration. I’ll do my best to pay attention to it all.

Perhaps everyone involved are swingers? Their mentality is from the sixties. Its a shame when grown adults act like teen-agers. The media has all the details but nothing on Benghazi. WEIRD

I would encourage theblaze to return to American Values and away from gossip. I thought Mr. Beck had plans to turn theblaze into a real news venue.

Why wait.

So it goes from,flirtatious to outright phone sex? And she may also be a Russian Spy?

Sounds like when Obama visits old Putin before much longer (Drudge confirmed he is going to Russia) they will have a lot to talk about: how to devastate the rest of the nation.

Two U.S. officials say the messages were like phone sex in an email. I have real issues with unidentified people making claims such as these. I don’t trust this administration at all.

  Fox has been changing for several years now. They are on par with the rest of the msm at this point. I don’t watch much of them anymore either.

Steamy? This is more like a steaming pile of diversion from the Wadi-gate scandal.
