Petraeus mistress won't face cyberstalking charge
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Justice Department is dropping its investigation into whether David Petraeus' mistress, Paula Broadwell, stalked a romantic rival online.
Broadwell's lawyer, Robert Muse, gave The Associated Press a letter from U.S. Attorney Robert O'Neill that says no federal charges will be brought in Florida related to "alleged acts of cyberstalking."
A retired general, Petraeus resigned as CIA director in November after acknowledging the extramarital affair, which was exposed after Broadwell emailed Tampa socialite Jill Kelley, allegedly warning Kelley to stay away from Petraeus and Gen. John Allen, the U.S. commander in Afghanistan.
Kelley reported the emails to the FBI, triggering an investigation that led the FBI to Kelley's emails to the married Allen, who is now under investigation by the Pentagon's inspector general.
A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment.

I'm so sick of seeing that slut in the news. She has zero integrity in my opinion. Anyone who thinks its ok to sleep with a married man is bad enough, but to also be married yourself and put your own family's security at risk is lower than low. Both her and Petraeus need to just go away and quit whining about the fallout. The only real victims are their families.
No big surprise. She did her job of getting Petraeus to resign. Someone wanted Petraeus out and they got their wish by using one of the oldest professions.
She's more than a hooker or witch !
What a hooker....... I spit on the ground she walks on....... diddled a married man for a leg up.........
 @Funky-Munky So no blame goes to the cheating husband right?Â
 @lakeview  @Funky-Munky no,no he was the victim...Â
 The article was pertaining to her.........@lakeview
 @Funky-Munky "for a leg up" ? Literally? ;-) You  must know more than I do.
 @Komo Dragon Yep...  :D) She was making a life for herself on her back....
@Funky-Munky @Komo Dragon So that's both legs up correct?
