Paula Broadwell’s Driver’s License Turned In To Maryland Park Police On Sunday

I'm sure this doesn't mean anything.... but man, is this keeps getting weirder and weirder... you can add this to the list

link

A driver's license belonging to Paula Broadwell was turned in on Sunday to the Maryland-National Capital Park Police, a park police spokesperson has confirmed to TPM.

Earlier Tuesday, U.S.News & World Report first reported that the license had been found by a jogger in Rock Creek Park in Washington D.C. Lt. Bill Kellogg, the Park Police spokesman, also told TPM that the park police notified the FBI on Tuesday about the license's discovery.

On Friday, Broadwell was identified as the woman with whom former CIA director Gen. David Petraeus had been carrying on an affair. Kellogg said it was all the attention surrounding Broadwell that prompted his agency to contact the FBI.

"To us it was nothing suspicious," Kellogg said. "It was just lost property that was turned in."

As of Tuesday afternoon, the Park Police was still in possession of the license.

coincidental (as in she actually lost it) or she tried to dump it (for some reason that I don't understand yet). This story is WEIRD.

Repubbies really need to shitcan their so-called "values" which are so whacked, and instead embrace American values like honesty, integrity, loyalty, fidelity, etc. etc.

No wonder Republicans are not trusted by anyone of appreciable dignitude.

if you had read more than the title of the OP, you would know that it was found by a jogger and they did the turning in.

nobody 'surrendered' their papers.

If anything ontoward happens to Broadwell ... especially after her father is reported to have said, "there's much more going on here than is being reported", the conspiracy S-Storm will make Sandy appear as a gentle autumnal breeze.

Ask an insurance actuarial.

If you can assign odds or probabilities to anything, there is an argument that there are no pure "coincidences".

Anyway, that's my take on it.

I have personally seen similar games.
Odds of coincidence are abysmal.

Or maybe there's some evidence of her using her driver's license for something, and she's now trying to claim it was "lost".

She's a runner, and the huge park is a popular place for recreation and sports--including running.

my thoughts -

1) CIA - it could be a spook fake.

2) when do I take my license out of my wallet? Not often.

3) somebody impersonating her? Maybe at the bank? Access to a safe-deposit box?

4) she's shook up, disturbed by the scandal, so loses it because her rhythm is upset

5) someone broke into her house and took it as intimidation

6) someone broke into her house and discarded it
