Woman embroiled in Petraeus scandal sues gov't agencies (Jill Kelley)
Source: CNN
(CNN) Jill Kelley, the woman described as a "Tampa socialite" who became enmeshed in last year's scandal involving former CIA Director David Petraeus, filed a lawsuit Monday alleging employees of government agencies violated her privacy.
The complaint, filed in federal district court in Washington, accuses unnamed federal officials of wrongfully searching her personal e-mails and divulging what she says was false information to the media.
Kelley's name first came to light after Petraeus resigned his post at the spy agency having admitted to carrying out an extramarital affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell. Federal investigators first caught wind of Petraeus' affair after Kelley complained to law enforcement officials about harassing e-mails from Broadwell details she says were improperly revealed to the public.
"We did not receive the confidentiality and protection," Kelley wrote in a statement. "Instead we received highly hurtful and damaging publicity from willful leaks from high level government officials that were false and defamatory."

In any case, this Jill Kelley twit hasn't come over to the socialist side, maybe a little prison education would enlighten her.

The host of a fundraiser for Sen. Marco Rubio says the twin sisters involved in the David Petraeus scandal crashed one of Rubio's campaign fundraisers...She said Thursday that the twins, Jill Kelley and Natalie Khawam, came to the party uninvited, took their photo with Rubio and quickly left without donating money to his Senate campaign...

In her statement Monday, Kelley cast herself as a privacy rights advocate who was working to make the best of a bad situation.
"I will demand that victims of a crime, have their names well guarded and their privacy protected; And that every law abiding citizen, the members of media, and including our brave servicemen, will not have their personal communications improperly and unreasonably searched by overreaching government or any other abuse of government powers," her statement read.

She's probably hoping for a big payday--I hope she's DENIED.
