Let me explain this Petraeus business in simple terms:
1. A, a "socialite" and a military booster, is married to B, a cancer surgeon.
2. A complains to the FBI that she is receiving threatening emails.
3. The FBI assigns the case to Special Agent C, who has previously sent a shirtless photo of himself to the complaining witness A.
4. Meanwhile C, or somebody else at FBI, traces the threatening emails to D, a graduate of Harvard AND West Point military academy, who is married to E, a radiologist, and has two children with him.
5. D is also the fawning biographer and secret lover of F, a recently retired 4-star general who is now the Director of Central Intelligence. (Ironic, that.)
6. D's book about her secret lover F is astoundingly called "All In"
7. F was appointed to this position by the President, who is a member of Political Party X.
8. F is also married to G and has been for the past 37 years.
9. C, the shirtless-photo sender, believing that the FBI's investigation into the threatening emails send to A by (as it turns out) D, has been sandbagged by political operatives of Party X, (to protect, he thinks, F, the Director of Central Intelligence) contacts H, leader of the opposition, Party Y, and leaks information about the investigation.
10. Going back to A, the socialite and military booster, it turns out she has been exchanging a lot of emails (some 30,000), said to be "flirtatious" with another high-ranking general, I.
11. General I is currently in overall command of forces engaged in the field in an active war zone, and is on track to be nominated to the command of NATO.
12. A also has a twin sister, J, who is involved in a child custody dispute with K.
13. A apparently persuades her secret lover F (remember him, the Director of Central Intelligence?) and General I, to write letters of recommendation on J's behalf in her child custody dispute with K.
14. Meanwhile, opposition party Y, having taken a pounding in the recent election by party X, now plans to make political hay out of this entire affair.
As they say, this is RAW INTELLIGENCE!
