the f.b.i. would look into you know internet files e-mails as part of an investigation and that investigation could be very preliminary like in this case the investigation with just the complaint you know this woman in tampa receiving harassing e-mails and the f.b.i. use that as a means to ultimately look into her g. mail account find information and read those e-mails and those evil ultimately led to the establishment of a relationship between her and the trend as well as now some sort of e-mail exchanges of sort of relationship with general general allen. reports so far show that e-mails of the e-mails in this case. the callee she says that they were harassing but so far they haven't proven to be violent or threatening so this being the case shouldn't should it be a criminal investigation and then has the f.b.i. justified in it treating it like it's a criminal investigation. you know i can't speak to whether you know what we've reached the threshold for a kernel desiccation whether it has to b

f.b.i. probe against the former cia director so was this is a sign that the cia and f.b.i. are engaged in an interagency dispute question more. and speaking of political scandals from kennedy to clinton reno to spencer and even schwartz nager what is it that causes male politicians to be led astray doesn't misdeed here and there really affect how these people do their jobs. it's tuesday november thirteenth four pm here in washington d.c. i'm liz wahl and you're watching r t. well we begin today with a look at a movement that says it's bailing out the people rather than the big banks we're talking about the occupy wall street movement and yesterday we talked about their new initiative called the rolling jubilee which buys distressed debt in order to forgive it and while those in the movement are often painted as bongo playing hippies are the correspondent on a saucer churkin to take a more nuanced look at those involved. an artist carving out his college debt number and walks over seventy tho

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 the f.b.i. is preparing a timeline of the investigation to explain why the president and the congress were "in the dark" for so long. that sets up team fox coverage with more details on the sureless f.b.i. agent. first, to jennifer griffin working at the pentagon. how did both general allen and general petraeus know the woman named jill kelley? >>reporter: general allen was the deputy of general petraeus when he was the head in tampa bay, florida in 2010. jill kelley a well-known socialite in tampa bay, married to a, reunient surgeon and she hosted parties for top military brass at central command and would shop with general petraeus' wife holly, their families spent christmas together, and allen exchanged

agent takes it to the f.b.i. 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

f.b.i. tell the president of its investigation? would the f.b.i. not known for its warm and cuddly relationship with the c.i.a. dare investigate the head of the c.i.a. without telling the president of the united states? all of a sudden we hear about it the investigation two days after the election. now, we know he met the general in 2006. by 2006 pursued a m.d. dissertation and was in 2010 was embedded with the military. 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.

and so maybe the f.b.i. decided they would smack down but they but the story that they invented is entirely false it turns out now if you trace had had an affair with a foreign national who was potentially associated with pakistani intelligence or syrian intelligence or libyan intelligence or afghan intelligence that would be a very serious matter but none of that was true this is a woman he had an affair with. was a younger woman but other than that she's devoted to the u.s. military this is this is just sad for mrs portray yes. and it's embarrassing for the family but it's a very private matter and what is the f.b.i. doing reading private e-mails anyway was another school or. one that we've heard it . was maybe not the thing alone patris was a staunch war lobby whole kid many enemies there for the cia and f.b.i. maybe the cia and 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 disc

so i think the f.b.i. lot of questions to answer. >> former spokesman for general petraeus incysted publicly the affair ended four months ago. fox news learned in the last week of october at a society dinner washington for the elite of the u.s. intelligence community, paula broadwell was openly bragging about "two book ideas she and the general were pursuing. the witness who asked to remain inon-mouse said broadwell was beaming and showing no sign of distress though the f.b.i. interviewed her a month earlier. >> bret: thank you. bad news for a third general. defense secretary leon panett panetta -- [ inaudible ] general spending thousands of dollars on lavish travel and will retire as three-star general, not a four-star. the looming fiscal cliff does not have the sex appeal or intrigue of tangled spy affairs. but if congress returned to session today, it starts out as high as they come. keeping the u.s. from sliding in to another recession. here's wendell goler. >> reporter: with republicans insisting the

she talks to the f.b.i. f.b.i. falls in love with kelley sends her shirtless pictures and gets nothing done. shoots it up the f.b.i. allen. they start to investigate and they find petraeus with a love connection going on and find general john allen who has been sending tens of thousands of e-mails to jill kelley as well. >> dana: this jill kelley must be something else. >> eric: we don't know. we don't know. >> andrea: can i say something about the shirtless photos? i've been sent shirtless photos before. >> greg: sorry about that. >> andrea: stop sending me shirtless photos. to all the men out, there stop sending women shirtless photos. it's not attractive. unless you are dade beckham, put a shirt and tie on. >> greg: it shows how modern communication sends men to hormonal maniacs. this is the c.i.a. we are talking about. they weren't just shirtless, they were probably flexing. there is no difference between a 13-year-old boy and 66-year-old man. they will flex until they die. >> bob: have you ever got an shirtles

the f.b.i. uncovered the relationship while, looking into threating e-mails which general petraeus' mistress sent to this woman, we are told she a long-term family friend of general petraeus. the f.b.i. confronted general petraeus about affair some time in the last six weeks and, now, lawmakers of congressional intelligence committees will hold meetings on why they didn't get word the moment general petraeus' name up up. he was set to testify on the attack in benghazi and now the acting c.i.a. director is set to take his place. still, some lawmakers say they want to hear from general petraeus himself and they may call him to the stand. catherine is live this afternoon in washington, dc. there are few specific rules about notifying congress on an investigation like this. >>reporter: title 50 governs national security and defense with section 413 and 413 (a) dealing with notification issues and reads "to keep congressional intelligence committee full law and currently informed of all intelligence

i can't believe if the f.b.i. investigating the c.i.a., to agencies who have no love loss between them, the f.b.i. uncovered possible problems with communications from the c.i.a.'s director, i have to believe that the director of the f.b.i. would have been informed of this in a matter of nanoseconds and i would be sunday if the f.b.i. director did not immediately talk to the attorney general as soon as he learned about this potential problem. and i then find it hard to believe that the attorney general wouldn't talk to the president. so we don't know exactly what the timing is, but i simply don't think on something this potentially consequential that the information drifted around at low levels for weeks or months. >> it's like the november surprise. they talked about the drone attack that iran fired on a drone on november 1st but that didn't come out. >> that's i think something that got lost in the shuffle here in the past few days. but that was another example in my view of selective leaking of national securit

number one, first and foremost, joe kelly, how does she get an f.b.i. probe? when the f.b.i.be finds out there is no criminal activity, how did it shoot straight up the ladder and jump over to the politics? how did representative reichert contacted by rogue f.b.i. agent -- i call rogue because he is going beyond what the scope of duty should be. he contacts representative reichert who contact cantor's office? why does the representative's office sit on it for two weeks? is there no process, method in which a congressional committee, hearing could have been heard weeks ago if not months ago regarding all they found? >> dana: i agree. juan, so do you remember when seven u.s. attorneys let go in the bush administration. they were political appointees and it was a big story, front page news. one of the major thread of the story was president bush told about this an why wasn't he told? on the scale of it compared to this, eric holder find out there is a criminal investigation, do you think that he ever thought maybe i should inform the president of the united states that his top c

the f.b.i. investigation that followed uncovered broadwell's affair with petraeus. but according to the newest revelations, agents also found extensive contacts between kelley and general allen. the f.b.i. notifieded the pentagon on sunday. last night spokesman george little read a statement from defense secretary leon panetta on a flight to australia. >> today the secretary directed that the matter be referred to the inspector general of the department of defense for investigation. it is now in the hands of the department of the secretary-general. >> brown: early news accounts said allen andkelley exchanged 20,000-30,000 pages of emails and other documents over the last two years. for part of that time the general served as deputy commander at u.s. central command faced at the air force base in tampa. jill kelley and her hus ban often organized social events for the military. one senior defense official said today that the emails between allen and kelley were mostly routine and involved plannin

the f.b.i. is depicting it, they discovered 20,000 to 30,000 page e-mail. they describe it as potentially inappropriate but declined to comment. there is a commander allen but declined to comment on the nature of the relationship with kelly in the yellow dress and the general with all of the stars and bars. >> brian: what the heck is this about? she was a social liason and by the way, i didn't know we needed one. 20,000 to 30,000. i could not write 20,000. >> i e-mail you. you respond with one word. >> brian: i don't think. got to get dressed >> chris: kelly, even though it is the other woman paula broadwell who had the relationship, that is kelly right there. it was paula broadwell who had the relationship with general petraeus. why would she hire a lawyer and judy smith who is an expert at crisis management. we know. and they out about the 20,000 to 30,000 e-mail about to become public. >> brian: we know that general petraeus is a brilliant military mind and general allen was doing a good job

the fact that f.b.i.nvolved is significant. >> we have seen resignation of a public figure with intimate knowledge of what happened in benghazi. we are seeing that this is not putting a lid on the situation. in fact, we're seeing it intensify. even step up to another level because if he testify on the hill. he could voluntarily go to the hill. he could be subpoenas. if he goes to any circumstances, he may lawyer up under the circumstances. >> bret: we'll continue to follow every aspect of this. thank you. >> you're welcome. >> bret: now to the fiscal cliff. just 53 days away. both president obama and house speaker john boehner are advocating compromise, yet sticking to their guns on taxes. again, chief white house correspondent ed henry. >> even as president obama suggested the campaign is over by inviting congressional leaders to white house for fiscal cliff negotiations next week -- >> it is time to get back to work. >> he left the impression the campaign continues as the white house invited 200 support

the f.b.i. first uncover evidence of it. good evening. i'm geoffrey brown. >> ifill: and i'm gwen ifill. on the newshour tonight we get the latest on the time line as we know it and the implications for the intelligence agecy. >> brown: then gay rights add voaks won their first victory at the ballot box last week. ray suarez examines the significance of voters in three states approving same-sex marriage. of >> when they see us on their front doorstep >> ifill: special correspondent john tulenko tells the story of teachers coming to the rescue of families in storm-ravaged new jersey. knocking and they realize it's us and we're here to see if they're okay, their faces lit up. >> brown: and we have three reports about veterans, beginning with a pro publica investigation into lost or destroyed combat records. >> ifill: then we talk with a veteran who has written about how we choose to remember those who serve. >> brown: and we close with a conversation with first-time author and iraq war veteran kev

f.b.i.gents are collecting evidence. >> she's the mistress who allegedly sent threatening e-mails to a family friend of petraus. also, tonight, the co-author of the petraus biography breaks his silence. >> jim rosenfeld joins us live. >> reporter: first, we want to show you video from charlotte. this is outside paul paula broadwell's home. f.b.i. agents went into the hois as part of a consensual search ashe f.b.i. wraps up its investigation. while broadwell hasn't been seen since the scandal broke last week, others closely connected to the story are now talking. >> i was dumbfounded when i heard about the affair. >> reporter: breaking his silence tonight. >> what was a question in my mind, quite frankly, was why general petraus was granting paula broadwell the kind of access he fwranted her. >> reporter: it was concerned brought to the f.b.i. by this woman that helped bring down the cia director. a family friend and social liaison, kelly was said to be alarmed by anonymous e-mails. the first

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 threat? where's the crime. why is the f.b.i. literally making a national case out of this. we live in a surveillance state. this is insanity. the source continues: >> cenk: but there's no threats. why is the f.b.i. doing this case which then goes into their most private emails and sex lives and if they can do it to these people, they can do it to any of us. and then, abc news talked to for

the f.b.i. traced the messages to paula broadwell, and while looking at her account, found evidence of meetings with david petraeus. petraeus admitted it and resigned as head of the c.i.a. and jill kelley herself was exchanging inappropriate e-mail with general john allen. general allen leads coalition forces in afghanistan and was to be the nato command ner europe. now that is on hold following the discovery of flirtatious e-mails between general and jill kelley. he denies having an affair. at the white house, the classic question. when was the president told? >> it is simply a fact that the white house was not aware of the situation regarding general petraeus until wednesday, and the situation regarding general allen until friday. >> there are lingering questions that members of congress will raise tomorrow. why did it take the f.b.i. so long to inform officials here about the petraeus affair? after all, this was national security compromised. it is as radio gripping as it is messy. an america

>> i would refer you to the f.b.i. they have, as i understand it, protocols in place when they notify the legislative executive branches of the investigations. it is simply a fact that the white house was not aware of the situation regarding general petraeus until wednesday. the situation regarding general allen, friday. >> sean: so the f.b.i. knew about the investigation. he briefs the president once a week but we're supposed to believe that an extramarital affair involving the head of the c.i.a. never came is up in that is exactly why we cannot let the soap opera divert us from what is important. this story is more than just a sexual failing by men in power, it's more about the benghazi scandal and the obama's role in it. he briefed members of congress and blamed the attacks on the anti-muslim video and calling this, quote, spontaneous mob violence. susan rice who on the sunday talk shows misled the public by blaming, quote, on the anti-muslim video so the talking points came from the intelligence agency. that is tru
