A Tampa, Florida woman can proceed with part of an invasion of privacy lawsuit against the U.S. government over leaks to the media about her connection to a scandal over former CIA Director David Petraeus’ extramarital affair, a federal judge ruled on Monday.

Last year, Tampa socialite Jill Kelley and her husband Scott sued the FBI, the Department of Defense (DOD) and several government officials, saying they willfully leaked damaging and false information about the couple.

While U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson dismissed 13 of the 14 counts against most defendants in the lawsuit, she let part of one count related to privacy violations move forward. She also allowed a few other counts to move forward only against some unnamed officials.

The lawsuit is “a long, overwrought, and argumentative document, and its 225 paragraphs are full of indignation while being thin on facts,” Jackson said in a 76-page ruling.

1. This is funny apparently not having 15 minutes was enough.....

sounds like its a cat fight between the objects of the affair, both of them.

2. Petraeus' affair was with Paula Broadwell.

This is just another wrinkle.
