Since the FBI doesn't have time to launch a full-scale investigation into every mildly unsettling e-mail that winds up in Americans' inboxes, many have come to the conclusion that the messages Paula Broadwell allegedly sent to Tampa socialite Jill Kelley contained some pretty serious threats. However, if the Daily Beast's "knowledgeable source" is to believed, the Petraeus scandal actually started with e-mails that read more like something pulled from Gossip Girl, albeit with respected intelligence officials rather than sexy trust fund kids. The source, who "until recently at the highest levels of the intelligence community," says they didn't contain jealous warnings like, "stay away from my man," but were “More like, ‘Who do you think you are? … You parade around the base … You need to take it down a notch.’” There was “No, ‘I’ll kill you’ or ‘I'll burn your house down,’” the source adds. (Interestingly, while this suggests the image of Broadwell as an unhinged harlot is an exaggeration, the source goes on to characterize the messages as “kind of cat-fight stuff.”)
So, why did the FBI bother to investigate the e-mails in the first place? The latest salacious detail to emerge in the rapidly unfolding story provides some possible insight. According to The Wall Street Journal's sources, the FBI agent friend who first heard Kelley's complaints about the e-mails is now under investigation by the agency for questionable conduct, including sending shirtless photos of himself to Kelley.
