Politico has a good timeline on the Petraeus scandal. His affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, began last November.
The story broke because Jill Kelley, a Tampa event planner, plugged into the MacDill Air Force Base social scene, received “harassing” emails last May and notified the FBI. The emails were traced to Broadwell from a joint account she held with Petraeus. Broadwell and Petraeus communicated with each other through the drafts folder in the account.
While there was no breach of national security, the information was passed on to AG Eric Holder, who sat on it until the day after the election. Obama accepted Petraeus’ resignation on Friday Nov 8.
Krauthammer believes Petraeus thought he would keep his job by supporting the administration’s Benghazi storyline.
