More on GlobalPost: Jill Kelley: The other woman in David Petraeus scandal 
 
 Neighbors said she enjoyed entertaining at her 5,000 sq ft home in South Tampa, and was usually seen dressed in designer outfits and with full make-up. Clapper was told by the Justice Department of the Petraeus investigation at about 5 p.m. last Tuesday on Election Day, and then called Petraeus and urged him to resign, according to a senior U.S. intelligence official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly. The Associated Press, quoting an unnamed military official, reported Sunday that Kelley had received harassing emails from Petraeus' mistress, which led the FBI to examine biographer Paula Broadwell's email account and discover her secret relationship. A former associate of Petraeus confirmed the target of the emails was Kelley, but said there was no affair between the two, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the retired general's private life. Petraeus told former staffers and friends that he was friends with Kelley and her surgeon husband, Scott, and regularly visited their brick home with imposing white columns overlooking Tampa Bay. A U.S. official said the coalition countries represented at Central Command gave Kelley an appreciation certificate on which she was referred to as an "honorary ambassador" to the coalition, but she has no official status and is not employed by the U.S. government. The Kelleys hired Abbe Lowell, a Washington lawyer who has represented well-known clients including lobbyist Jack Abramoff and former presidential candidate John Edwards, and released a statement Sunday through a Washington-based crisis management firm that she and her family had been friends with the Petraeus family for five years and wanted to respect their privacy. He has been married 38 years to Holly Petraeus, with whom he has two adult children, including a son who led an infantry platoon in Afghanistan as an Army lieutenant.
– The woman who reportedly received threatening emails from Paula Broadwell has lawyered up, and in a big way. Jill Kelley has hired Washington super-attorney Abbe Lowell and crisis manager Judy Smith—the equivalent of arming with a Howitzer and a jet fighter—even though the FBI says its investigation is over, Gawker reports. To put it in perspective: Smith's past clients include Kobe Bryant and Monica Lewinsky, and Lowell has represented Bill Clinton and John Edwards. You only hire Lowell "when you're seriously f--ked," quips Gawker. Meanwhile, details are emerging on Kelley: She's a Tampa, Fla., socialite and "unpaid social liaison" for the Joint Special Operations Command, reports the Daily Beast. The JSOC is a fairly mysterious part of the US military that includes the Navy SEALs, helps with counter-terrorism missions, and played a big role in the Benghazi investigation. Kelley has three children, aged 4, 2, and 1. Her husband, Dr. Scott Kelley, is a widely respected doctor. They were often guests at events held by Petraeus at MacDill Air Force Base, where he was stationed from 2008 to 2010, the AP reports. She considered Petraeus to be like a grandfather to her children, reports the Tampa Bay Times. She likes entertaining at her grand, 5,000-square-foot home and usually dresses to the nines, reports GlobalPost. "At weekends while most women dress down and wear sweat pants and the like she will be fully made up and dressed as if she were going to a dinner," says a neighbor. Petraeus was stunned to hear about the emails that Broadwell allegedly sent Kelley, and he insists his relationship with Kelley was purely platonic, friends and former staff tell the AP.
