that she was getting harassing e-mails this prompted an f.b.i. investigation and as they trace the e-mails that led them to discover the affair between betray us and his biographer paula broadwell the scandal doesn't end there the f.b.i. investigation reportedly brings to light inappropriate e-mails between kelley and general john allen the top commander in afghanistan now all of this information is public things to an f.b.i. investigation and leaks to legislators and the media now we're seeing the fuller picture the f.b.i. agents look through with thousands of pages of e-mails and computer documents of the players in the scandal despite no official crime ever taking place this has some asking did the f.b.i. overstep its boundaries and spying on those involved and beyond this case is it too easy for the f.b.i. to snoop on people and poke through their online communications to discuss trevor aaronson the author of the book you see there the terror factory inside the f.b.i. is manufactured war on terrorism. hi there trevor so this case just keeps ge

district attorney, once you are within the scope of an f.b.i. estigation that the chair and ranking members of key committees must be briefed by the f.b.i. do you think you'll be able to get into this investigation in addition to benghazi and the failure of this administration to protect americans, do you think you'll be able to get when the f.b.i. knew what they knew and what they should have said and to whom? >> i'm sure eventually. mike rogers is a former f.b.i. agent. he is the chairman of our intelligence committee. i suspect he will get that answer. i also suspect it will be in a classified or closed hearing. i prefer open hearings folks are already legitimately conspiratorial enough. and the issue would be whether he knew he was under f.b.i. investigation. i believe his paramour knew she was under investigation. i would like to ask the chairman so i can answer i have a lot of questions today even at a memorial service for veterans. from widows and daughters of veterans about benghazi. >> judge jeanine: congressman, you and i are former d.a

within a year he goes to an f.b.i. investigation for senate confirmation as c.i.a. director. do you really think that a paula broadwell connected with general in 2006 embedded him in afghanistan in 2010 that did the f.b.i. did not know 6 their relationship in 2011? which relationship he admits. how could they not know. they know how often your dog pees. why did they hold it? why now? why? i don't believe in coincidence and never have and probably never will. joining me now, retired lieutenant general and fox news military analyst. good evening. do you believe in coincidence. >> i rest your case. you have a very compelling case. first of all let me say that general dave petraeus is one of the greatest generals this nation has had. i've been a great fan. i've been with him in mosul when he was two-star. i can't give higher plaudits but this crushing for all military people. initially i thought it was those things happen, but when he is not going to give his testimony seven days before he is supposed to give it and then you find out that the f.b.i. has been looking at this in the

and the f.b.i. opens an investigation and walls starting falling all over the place in the middle of privacy laws for americans. we will see where it goes. there could be something bad that happened or they could be overstepping. we will find out? >>judge napolitano: we will talk about it for a while. there are a lot of missing pieces to the puzzle. >>shepard: another major developing story, israeli sources say they have killed a top commander in hamas group and now both sides are sending out serious threats. i'm talking very serious. this guy wasn't just anybody, either, he was captured on the border with lebanon in 2006 and this guy is said to have orchestrated and this guy got him out and got 1,000 palestinians released. now he is dead. now here we go. if you are one of the millions of men who have used androgel 1%, there's big news. presenting androgel 1.62%. both are used to treat men with low testosterone. androgel 1.62% is from the makers of the number one prescribed testosterone replacement therapy.

an f.b.i. investigation that led to the resignation of david petraeus. the investigation was trillion dollars after a woman petraeus was having an affair with sent threatening emails to another woman who both of them knows. good morning, everyone,. >> a lot of questions remain unanswered. thanks for joining us. they're considered stunning new developments this morning from a scandal that's still continuing to unravel. it's also raised questions about the woman at the receiving end of the emails. there may be more than one and their connection to general petraeus. peter doocy is live in washington with the latest. >> we don't know who the third woman is involved in the email triangle between paula broadwell and general petraeus but it's not his wife, holly. and the f.b.i. was not looking for lusty emails when they started the investigation. they were looking for evidence of harassment. after they traced the harassing messages to paula broadwell's computer they discovered salacious notes between the four star general and his buyographer. >> the f.b.i. came

last week after an f.b.i. investigation discovered that he was having an affair. >> general petraeus had an extraordinary career. he served this country with great distinction in iraq, in afghanistan, and as head of the c.i.a. by his own assessment, he did not meet standards that he felt were necessary as the director of the c.i.a. with respect to this personal matter that he is now dealing with, with his family, and with his wife. and it's on that basis that he tendered his resignation, and it's on that base they accepted it. >> pelley: in the same question, the president was asked about general john allen, commander of the u.s. forces in afghanistan and his nominee to lead nato. but mr. obama was silent on allen. the same f.b.i. investigation uncovered e-mails between allen and a socialite, jill kelly, who hosted functions for central command in tampa, where both petraeus and allen had worked. based on those e-mails, mr. obama placed allen's nomination to nato on hold. bob orr has our story tonight from washi

f.b.i. investigation that revealed the director was cheating on his wife. she contacted an at she knew, shirtless agent, claiming to have received anonymous threatening e-mails tells her to stay away from general petraeus. it is unclear but the f.b.i. found reason to open an investigation. investigators determined that the e-mails were from general's biographer paula broad wall and she and general petraeus had an fair and neither had done anything criminal but reason that are inexplicable at this moment, there is more after thousands and thousands of e-mails were discovered thousands and thousands of e-mails. and general allen is also married, and he defies there was an affair and denies that there was any wrongdoing. and there is another twist. sources are now telling fox news that the f.b.i. agent jill kelley contacted was booted off the case when he became obsessed with the case, and investigators discovered that he sent that shirtless photo of himself to kelley, the latest in a tangled web that the white house says it didn't learn about until election day. we are told t

bob orr on how an f.b.i. security check stumbled upon an extra marital affair. >> reporter: cia david petraeus was never the target of a probe but when he came up in another probe there were concern his e-mail was compromised. a woman received a series of harassing e-mails which referenced petraeus. she notified the f.b.i.. federal agents traced those e-mails back to petraeus's bio grapher. then there was evidence of an extra marital affair including numerous e-mails between petraeus and broadwell. broadwell spent time with him in afghanistan doing research for her book. all in, general petraeus. she's a married mother of two children. >> i'm not in love with him, but he does present a terrific role model for people. >> reporter: petraeus who is a married father of two publicly praised his wife holly during his senate hearing. >> she is an army wife, mother, and advocate for military families. i have been blessed to have her in my corner for 37 years and 23 moves and i appreciate the opportunity this afternoon

hasn't gotten out yet but will get out and you know it will because there are people out there, an f.b.i. agent, c.i.a. agent and they can drop anything anywhere. will you keep him on? >> he's the c.i.a. director and blackmail and all the possibilities are there. could they blackmail bill clinton? chris: put out the word he had an affair but i'm keeping him. >> everybody makes their own judgment as to whether this is more important than that. chris: right. >> if you're asking me about the people i named in history, i think what they did for the country was more important than the other but you can disagree. chris: but were all kept secret at the time. >> except for bill clinton. in retrospect he say he was a good president and mr. was peace and prosperity under bill clinton. petraeus had to go for the reasons jodi pointed out. you're the head of the nation's spy agency leaving inappropriate emails, sexual emails on a g-mail account and for that reason alone he had to go. reckless. chris: is there a different attitude, we always hear these stories, and you hear of the great leaders, and y

has turned its focus toward jill kelly who may play a part in bringing down petraeus, allen and an f.b.i. agent she knew who's under investigation. overnight, her brother spoke well of her. >> she is number one, a mother. that she is number two a wife. >> and number three she is bringing down general's left and right. so what does general john allen have to do with this? >> as kelley and general john allen have been linked in an inappropriate relationship with communications. the f.b.i. agent she contacted to kick off the investigation he sent kelly topless photos of himself and went to congress when he felt the agency didn't act fast enough. >> what are these guys doing? i think the more important question is why do we even know about any of this stuff? why was any of this investigated in the first place? we explain why jill kelly who was asked about these anonymous emails sent to her in the first place, she asked a friend in the f.b.i. to look into it. here's a quote: >> cenk: that's apparently paula broad well sending these messages no one anonymously to jill kelley. where's the threa

director david petraeus was never the target of an f.b.i. investigation but when his name surfaced in another probe, agents became concerned that petraeus, or his e-mail accounts, may have been compromised. it all began a few months ago when a female acquaintance of the c.i.a. director received a series of harassing e-mails which apparently referenced petraeus. the woman, who sources say is not a government official, notified the f.b.i. federal agents quickly traced those e-mails back to petraeus' biographer, paula broadwell. a further investigation then revealed evidence of an extra marital affair, including numerous cryptic emales between the retired four-star general and broadwell. broadwell spent time with petraeus when he commanded forces in afghanistan doing research for her book "all in: the education of general david petraeus." on a publicity tour last february, the married mother of two children made this comment: >> i'm not in love with david petraeus, but i think he does present a terrific role model for young people for executive

director that is under an f.b.i. investigation. these things can start internally but the fact that this investigation with the attorney general of the united states, it doesn't make sense. >> sean: truth is going out. they can delay but it's coming out. liz cheney will join us whether congress will launch an a full investigation into the petraeus affair. >> this was not a preplanned attack. our current assessment that what happened in benghazi was in fact initially a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired house before in cairo. >> sean: susan rice is possible replacement for hillary clinton? how could she make it through the confirmation process? you want john kerry as your new defense secretary? we'll have more coming up. @ what makes the sleep number sre different? you walk into a conventional mattress store, it's really not about you. we have so much technology in our store to really show the customers what's going on with their bodies. you can see a little more pressure in the shoulders and in the hips. ... now you c

an inquiry of their own. they want to know why they weren't informed of the f.b.i. t became public. >> this is something that could have had an affect on national security. i think we should have been told. >> reporter: pa friday just was -- petraeus was scheduled to testify on benghazi. >> i don't see how in the world you

f.b.i. colluded to see him go because it was an emoji. i don't think the cia colluded with him i think that with it i think that. i think it's the f.b.i. alone and what we've discovered is the man who started the investigation was obsessed he began sending topless photographs of himself to one of the women in the case and he was removed and he then went to a member of congress and said don't let them push this under the rug but it should have been under the rug it should have been just abandoned this is it i think i see this as a huge embarrassment for the f.b.i. it is a very juicy story that they've created and it's interesting that the f.b.i. can making allegations against someone and you presume automatically that it's right just because the f.b.i. said so but then in fact it turns out to be an invention to justify a witch hunt turns this to come on show you are a series of journalists north thank you for you to be on the program appreciate it . we'll keep you updated on how this story unfolds you can always catch up with r.t. dot com a

i mean there have been a lot of questions of why does the f.b.i. do an investigation into harassing emails? i mean lots of people get harassing emails. i get harassing emails but what we found today was that this woman jo kelly who was a friend of the petraeus family, and she lived in tampa, she actually knew an f.b.i. agent and mentioned to him that in june she mentioned to him that she had been receiving these very sort of troubling, strange, bizarre accusatory emails. and gave them to him. he started the investigation. that's how it began in june. and... >> ifill: as we watch this time line unfold, sari, we can't help but ask who knew what when? for instance, we gather that the justice department, the f.b.i. knew about this some time ago. but that the white house didn't find out until late last week. how is this unfolding? >> well, gwen, the f.b.i. says that they began a criminal investigation into the harassing emails, quickly linked them to paula broadwell who jill kelly says she didn't even know. from there they were able to find these emails betwe
