She certainly damaged her own credibility, if that should turn out to be the case, by having an affair with him herself.

I just can't understand the access those other two had. Eg, I worked for a top Dem Fundraiser, very well known in the Dem Party. They hosted dinner parties etc in order to help Dems get elected and often had many top Dems at their home. But it was for a purpose, not just to socialize, and she and her husband have a long, long history with the Dem Party and probably the Repub party and with the Secret Svc who knew them very well.

But Jill Kelley's parties were not fundraisers, they were social events which seemed to have no other purpose. When she first arrived in Tampa she was in her twenties. You don't go from being an ordinary civilian/citizen to having the access she had without knowing someone. I would love to know who introduced them into those circles and vouched for them.
