I think it's time to start the diagrams and flow charts. There's no way to even keep up with this one:

Paula Broadwell's License Discovered in D.C. Park
Police notify FBI -- Broadwell's attorney mum on her whereabouts

The woman revealed to have been carrying on an affair with former CIA Director David Petraeus lost her driver's license in a Washington, D.C., park recently, sources tell U.S. News.

A Maryland National Capital Park Police spokesman confirmed that a jogger found a North Carolina license in Rock Creek Park belonging to Paula Broadwell. Park Police planned to hold it for 90 days, per policy, and then send it back to the North Carolina Department of Transportation.

The Park Police also alerted the FBI, says Bill Kellogg, a spokesman for the Park Police. The FBI did not initially return calls for comment on the report.

Broadwell's attorney, Robert F. Muse, confirmed that Broadwell, a North Carolina resident, lost her driver's license in the park.

The FBI searched Broadwell's Charlotte, N.C., home Monday for at least four hours. It is unclear if Broadwell was home at the time, though she is not mentioned in any subsequent reporting about the search.

Muse did not immediately return calls regarding Broadwell's current whereabouts.

WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has demoted the former head of U.S. Africa Command who was accused of spending thousands of dollars on lavish travel and other unauthorized expenses, a senior U.S. official said Tuesday.

Panetta stripped Gen. William "Kip" Ward of a star, which means that he will now retire as a three-star lieutenant general despite arguments from the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff against the demotion. Ward also has been ordered to repay the government $82,000.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the person wasn't authorized to discuss a personnel matter....

US News & World Report? Holy let down Batman! I kept reading for dead bodies or something and nothing ever came up! Losing your DL in a park, is that a high crime or misdemeanor? All the scandal, coverup, hearings, sex, firings and all USNWR gets is a lousy DL.

On another related note, Bill Kristol had some interesting comments tonight on the Fox panel. The paraphrased jist of it was that the FBI was doing a smear job excellante' on General Allen. Of all those emails, a serious number of them were from Allen's wife and would imply that nothing improper was going on. And that the FBI is just "out of control" and not even sure what they are investigating anymore on this deal. Bill Kristol says alot of things that make you think he's off his meds, but the way this thing is going...

What a waste of experience, knowledge and talent. A lot has been invested in these people and they've excelled at returning that investment. All of them have spent their lives at the top of their game and now it's all been ruined by several minutes of pleasure (Judging by my personal experience. Your mileage may vary. ). Not the first time and it won't be the last I guess.

BREAKING NEWS: Himpton knew about the CIA Director's affair FOR MONTHS!

And allegedly didn't inform the Prez! LOL

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/11/12/holder-notified-petraeus-probe-in-late-summer/

Attorney General Eric Holder was notified in late summer that then-CIA Director David Petraeus' name had surfaced in the FBI probe that ultimately uncovered Petraeus' affair, raising questions about whether Holder would have -- or should have -- informed President Obama.

According to the administration's version of events, the president did not find out about the situation until last Thursday. At the time that Holder was notified, months earlier, many details were still unknown. Petraeus himself was not interviewed until the fall. And according to one source, it is long-standing FBI policy for the FBI not to brief Congress or the White House in the middle of a criminal probe that does not involve a security threat....

Can't wait to hear Himpton's excuse for this breach of protocol, not that it actually happened they way they say it did. Anyone care to take bets that the liberal MSM takes his side and believes this impossible BS?
