They weren't investigating Petraeus, they were combing through the emails of Broadwell, because of her harassing emails to Kelley, and found the interlude emails with the General. It has already been said that his and her affair emails weren't on his "official" email address, that could pose a security threat.

The subject of the emails was Petraeus. That is what made the investigation a federal case. Surely, you understand that somebody at a much higher level than an FBI field agent would have been informed and asked to approve of the investigation of an affair involving the CIA Director. Again, if the affair was a national security issue that required that the president be informed, then why was it done after most of the votes were in, when the affair had been known for months?

Do you believe that the timing of the disclosure of Petraeus's affair - after the election and a few days before Petraeus was slated to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee - was just another coincidence?
