'Shirtless' FBI Agent in Petraeus Scandal

UPDATE NYT reports tonight that "shirtless" FBI (see below) who tipped of GOP congressmen to allegedly "stalled" Petraeus did that because of his "worldview" that led him to believe an Obama-ordered coverup.  Ponder that for a moment.  Also:  One e-mail allegedly from Broadwell  accused Kelley of “touching” Petraeus inappropriately under a dinner table...

Earlier: WSJ just now reported new questions about the FBI agent first tipped to the Petraeus affair--and his relationship with Jill Kelley.
A federal agent who launched the investigation that ultimately led to the resignation of Central Intelligence Agency chief David Petraeus was barred from taking part in the case over the summer due to superiors' concerns that he had become personally involved in the case, according to officials familiar with the probe.

New details about how the Federal Bureau of Investigation handled the case suggest that even as the bureau delved into Mr. Petraeus's personal life, the agency struggled with questionable conduct by one of its own—including allegedly sending shirtless photos of himself to a woman involved in the case....
That same agent, after being barred from the case, contacted a member of Congress, Washington Republican David Reichert, because he was concerned senior FBI officials were going to sweep the matter under the rug, the officials said. That information was relayed to top congressional officials, who notified FBI headquarters in Washington.
