Broadwell's notes to Jill Kelley were full of 'cat fight stuff,' according to a law-enforcement source.
The emails that Jill Kelley showed an FBI friend near the start of last summer were not jealous lover warnings like "stay away from my man," a knowledgeable source tells The Daily Beast.
The messages were instead what the source terms "kind of cat-fight stuff."
"More like, 'Who do you think you are? … You parade around the base … You need to take it down a notch,'" according to the source, who was until recently at the highest levels of the intelligence community and prefers not to be identified by name.
The base described is MacDill Air Force Base in Florida, where Kelley serves as an unpaid "social liaison." The source reports that the emails did make one reference to Gen. David Petraeus, but it was oblique and offered no manifest suggestion of a personal relationship or even that he was central to the sender's spite.
