-- never supported for now most of France's.
Portrait out of this mother.
Has brought a couple of approaches -- different modules -- -- And then 10 July out is a wanna dollars and bear in front of dubbed -- in front of -- -- came loaded on aren't and so on so annoyed I would like to Mike Baker fourteen years of the CIA.
Under covered all good morning mr.
baker good morning thanks very much body -- -- -- year old organization won't rule.
Well here it's it's embarrassing.
Now I -- again.
To be fair -- organization.
You know General Petraeus not take anything with -- service became -- -- the military and and into the CIA -- Not to say that -- -- bad things can happen anyway.
But it's.
Yeah -- it just seems to be.
One of those incidents where I think part of that the confusion out there and one of the reasons -- got a lot of conspiracy theories -- -- to Petraeus is credit.
Once he was caught once he was it was identified he stepped down.
And I think I think the public's not -- -- used to seeing high level officials in Washington.
Do the right thing step down because obviously we've had other senior officials have been caught -- Bill Clinton was so there's a hand in the cookie jar and they just stay on.
-- I appreciate you're trying to cover up for your former.
Perform organization.
About we don't know that he voluntarily -- -- -- present or or -- Minnesota and numb nuts to tech data how to.
Well and I'm sure that certainly James clapper and and and and all the others would give the same advice but -- I you know bigoted Petraeus is is a you know he he I think -- personality type wouldn't allow him to fight its way through a scandal.
At at this stage but.
-- -- again.
He did that the problem I think is you've got a story of of you know played guy doing something stupid dragnet that happens every day out there.
It seems to be widening a little bit.
-- possibly involving general -- to some degree and and Joseph Kelly down in Tampa who knows where that's going.
-- but because of their facilities -- colonel -- from prayers and our ports that would -- a story about a -- but I think -- timeline of the -- the confuses me is is as always and -- as -- -- -- is this idea that somehow.
The investigation was done in a bubble and nobody at the White House knew about until the day after the election that's okay that I find and the odds are speaking of that.
Out of their investigation.
Here's what we have -- raises my suspicion and I don't know anything about any of this stuff all -- you know.
This woman just -- -- woman who looks like one -- real housewives of -- At a ever and his allegedly the one -- -- -- general George John Allen.
-- -- -- -- -- Motion picture overall near fox business network group and she can do Fox & Friends First -- on the -- on shape compliance.
To this agent friend diversion.
Who apparently have been hit on her anyway and and and reportedly -- Shirtless picture of arms -- Big complaint which she complains to him than he can pay attention to the FBI proper right.
That she's receiving.
These anonymous threatening emails.
Now at that point the FBI don't have any idea.
Of the fort Reno right general put resolution baldness at all.
So my question -- -- be like -- Dayton.
Just to use -- example -- fox.
-- complain about getting threatening emails from Carly.
-- as with -- there would be no reason to investigate so why would they FBI.
Investigating.
What what seems to may have to be a common complaint and she would take -- Don't get it done -- -- -- Over.
You gotta you got an agent in the field right and he's got of of friendly relationship on the house to refer to -- -- joke out -- and by the way sending.
Shirtless photos of anybody is never a good idea case of listeners are wondering.
And so while we're work yet sorted out just yet I just -- -- -- I doubt there's educational throughout senator from Chrysler's parent Darden -- no regard not prevent Nebraska.
And and so -- she.
She said a pseudo government employees she's I'd lead and State Department liaison person for the military.
-- -- -- civilian capacity.
-- well I mean engage in the -- Is as a friend and this can happen I mean this it they can push an investigation -- in the field he's EP hands over to that does cyber stalking the cyber crimes organization.
And encourages them to open a file the start looking into it -- the fact that she's associated with the State Department that doesn't hurt in terms of pushing the investigation because you know there is a government connection.
There are is meant to somewhat harassing emails.
It wouldn't take them -- it's a forensic review of emails it wouldn't take him -- to make that connection and it didn't take them on to make that connection to Petraeus now suddenly you've ratcheted up because it's a national security counterintelligence issue.
Because they've identified an individual broad well who's developed close unauthorized access to the director of the CIA that's counterintelligence.
Okay they may -- connection in part by buyers of them were revealed and -- emails meant so they had her account.
Do we know if the FBI was able to get -- -- personal.
-- email account.
Well I would I would have to assume I -- I have teams to do nothing but forensic reviews within diligence which OK you know as you know is is is -- -- -- as a director of government significant if the favorably get his personal account.
Right or -- all of information.
Which perhaps a total from just Erica -- they had -- -- they were tracked through -- account they would identify -- a variety apparently of of essentially backstop to count also posted by broad well that would tap into the accounts have been set up by General Petraeus also how do we know.
That -- we know a little bit more about this Joseph Kelly woman.
Who apparently was -- What is that is as some sort of relationship generating thousands of -- general John -- how do we know that she didn't actually say.
But she knew what don't -- involved Petraeus -- -- may have been involved but Petraeus herself and Paula Abdul and her.
As a rival.
For the for the -- -- betrayal so so they sold the FBI.
What they've of that burglar claiming they didn't know was to dress right but they -- the bad that they not may not be telling us everything right.
Well -- -- when I mean the possibility that there'd there'd be you know doing doing now but I I suspect.
That that part of this whole.
Unfortunate you know story is is accurate -- I suspected out that the agent did in fact because he was -- with Kelly kind of -- this investigation that as a result of that initial investigation they quickly identified the -- Again I'd I'd I think the part that doesn't ring true that did just you know it was that the timeline in terms of advising now now here's the thing I think -- interstate.
So what so they tell the White House the White House knows ahead of the election well that's good that's a good thing because you want them to be informed of an investigation involving the director of the CIA.
And then so what so the White House makes a decision not to talk about it before the election that's you know that's not something it hasn't not -- in Washington before.
It's the way they handled afterwards where they say we didn't know about it well you you yup if you -- about just say you knew about -- -- -- the reasons why we didn't discuss because there was no breach of class of exactly and from their particular.
It's like I'm worried about how stupid they seem in handling this in -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
