WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Benghazi scandal has taken on yet another dimension upon yesterday’s release of a Senate intelligence committee report. The revelations in the report might impact the 2016 presidential election hopes of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. The Senate report confirmed allegations reported months ago by American Weekly that the firing of Gen. David Petraeus represented just one element of a cover up – a cover up in which Clinton played a central role.
According to the Senate report, Clinton blew the whistle on Petraeus’ extramarital affair with biographer Paula Broadwell. Publication of this affair ultimately forced Petraeus to resign as CIA director. The timing seemed suspicious since Petraeus famously clashed with Clinton’s State Dept. over the infamous “talking points” used to cover up Benghazi. Of course, the general lost his job soon thereafter.
Unkown was precisely how Clinton learned of the sexual relationship between Petraeus and Broadwell so that she could use it to retaliate against Petraeus. The Senate report fills this gap. It details a connection between Clinton and the mysterious Tampa, Florida socialite – Jill Kelley. It was Kelley who reported to the FBI threatening emails warning her to stay away from Petraeus. The FBI’s investigation made the affair public since the titillating emails in their investigation came from Broadwell and revealed her affair. See emails here.
The Petraeus-Broadwell sex scandal broke with the release of these emails in November 2012 – just after the Benghazi attack. The timing seemed too coincidental for Senate investigators.
The Senate report details investigations that lead all the way in the upper Midwest. It was there that Kelley’s mother befriended Clinton when the two were young girls in the 1960s. Apparently, the two met while attending an exclusive girls summer camp in Minnesota – Camp Womyntonka. At least two other campers have come forward to confirm that both attended the camp together.
Many are speculating that Clinton used her relationship with Kelley to set into motion the forced resignation of Petraeus.
Many are speculating that Clinton used her relationship with Kelley’s family to set into motion the forced resignation of Petraeus. Petraeus’ role in the Benghazi scandal became clearer after the leaking of emails that trace the evolution of the talking points. Petraeus expressed his strong disapproval of the State Department’s alteration of CIA intelligence in the talking points. The exposure of his affair came only three weeks later.
According to the Senate report, two anonymous women have provided credible accounts of Clinton and Kelley’s Lebanese mother attending Camp Womyntonka together. The camp, which has since been closed, had a professed mission of cultivating a sense of strength and independence in young women. It was located on Grant Lake outside of Duluth, Minnesota.
