 Hey, I’m Anderson Cooper. Welcome to the podcast. The latest on the General Pateaus, a CIA’s sex scandal. We begin tonight as we do every night. “Keeping Them Honest” looking for facts, not playing favorites, offering our opinions or pulling for Republicans or Democrats¹. You can get that on plenty of other cable channels. Just real reporting with one goal to find the truth. We think that’s, there’s value in that. And we begin with breaking news and what the FBI was doing last night at Paula Broadwell’s home. She is the woman who had the affair with General Pateaus. Details on that in a moment. 

 

Also tonight, “Keeping Them Honest” on the new twist and turns in the Petraeus sex scandal. His affair with Broadwell led him to resigning as CIA director. You know that already. Now another four-star general, John Allen, is connected to the scandal. We will also look at who’s who in this growing scandal. We’ll map out the key players and connect some of the dots. First, the big question tonight is who authorized² the investigation³ which led to Petraeus’ stepping down and why? 

 

We know his extramarital affair was discovered when this woman, Jill Kelley, complained about anonymous⁴ and what might be considered mildly harassing⁵ e-mails. Well, new tonight, a source tells CNN that Kelley first mentioned the e-mails in a casual conversation with an FBI agent in May whom she knew. A casual conversation. The source tells us the FBI agent said, let me check it out. The FBI has been on the case since then, and now Kelley finds herself in the middle of this drama. New tonight, we hear her voice for the first

 

time in a 911 call to Tampa police over the weekend. She called to complain about the people outside her house. Listen.

 

“You know, I don’t know if by any chance, cause I’m an honorary council general so I have inviolability so I shouldn’t, they should not be able to cross my property. I don’t know if you want to get diplomatic protection involved as well, but now, because that’s against the law to cross my property because this is not, like, you know, um, it’s inviolable. “

 

“All right. No problem. I will let the officers know.”

 

“Thank you”

 

Honorary Diplomatic Council. Jill Kelley talking with Tampa police asking for diplomatic protection. That’s not something she should expect. We’ll dig into who Miss Kelley is in a moment. First, as I mentioned, there is a lot of twists and turns and a lot of people with ties to this scandal. Let’s lay it all out for you right now. Retired⁶ General David Petraeus resigned on Friday after admitting an affair. The other woman is again, Paula Broadwell, who co-wrote his biography, the best-selling book “All In: The Education of General Petraeus” This past spring, as we mentioned moments ago, Broadwell sent at the time anonymous harassing e-mails to Jill Kelley. 

 

As I mentioned, Kelley talked to her FBI friend launching the investigation. Turns out the initial agent on the case, according to the Wall Street Journal was removed from the case when he reportedly became obsessed⁷ with the case and even sent shirtless photos of himself to Miss Kelley. It gets stranger. New today, we’ve learned Kelley also received some inappropriately flirtatious⁸ e-mails, self-described, from four-star Marine⁹ General John Allen. He denies an extramarital affair with Kelley and insists he did nothing wrong. But Pentagon is investigating thousands of documents and e-mails, some of them were apparently¹⁰ flirtatious. Turns out both Allen and Petraeus stepped in to help Kelley’s twin sister, Natalie, in a custody¹¹ battle with her ex-husband. Both generals wrote letters on the behalf of the sister. 

 

Here’s a photo of Petraeus with the twin sisters. Petraeus wrote to the court, quote, “ We have on many occasions observed Natalie and her son, including when, we hosted them in the Kelley family for Christmas dinner this past year. In each case we have seen a very loving relationship.” We removed the son’s name, obviously, to protect his identity as a minor¹². There you have it. Who’s who in the scandal along with the latest twists and turns. There’s a lot to discuss tonight. Back to our breaking news, the FBI search last night. Agents spent about five hours at Paula Broadwell’s North Carolina home, took away boxes full of documents and computers. We now have new details on why they were there. Joining me now on the phone is CNN national security contributor, Fran Townsend, a member of the CIA’s External Advisory¹³ Committee. Fran, as you know, recently visited Libya with her employer, MacAndrews and Forbes. Also with us, CNN intelligence correspondent Suzanne Kelley, George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, and CNN contributor and former CIA officer, Bob Baer. So Fran, I want to start with you. You’re learning new information about what the FBI was doing at Broadwell’s house last night.
