UPDATE: Journalists Receive Subpoenas In Jill Kelly Lawsuit Against FBI - Jeh Johnson, Petraeus, Benghazi, Etc...

Jill Kelly is a woman who became entangled in the General Petraeus / Paula Broadwell affair story which exploded immediately following the Benghazi attacks in 2012. Many believe the Petraeus affair was used by the White House to remove the CIA risk.

BACKSTORY BEFORE UPDATE – Jill Kelly was threatened by Paula Broadwell during Broadwell’s affair with Petraeus. Once the affair was exposed, the media outed Jill Kelly as the original source to the FBI who uncovered the sordid affair.
Kelly then filed a lawsuit against the FBI for releasing her identity to the public via the media. The source of that media leak was, in essence, traced to then pentagon attorney Jeh Johnson, who later became DHS Secretary.
Last September (2014) we noted that the lawsuit by Jill Kelly would carry some very interesting possibilities via judicial discovery. In July (2015) a federal judge postponed DHS Head Jeh Johnson being compelled to testify in the ongoing lawsuit.

The federal judge ruling, to the benefit -at least temporarily- for the FBI, stated that Kelly’s legal team need to first make an attempt of the reporters to get the source they cited: “A High Pentagon Official”. If the legal team is then stymied by the reporters, then a motion to compel Jeh Johnson would be reconsidered. –more–
UPDATE Sept 22nd, 2015: (Via Politico) Nine journalists have been subpoenaed to give testimony in a Florida’s woman’s lawsuit alleging that the federal government invaded her privacy after she became enmeshed in the investigation that ultimately led to the resignation of CIA Director David Petraeus and his guilty plea earlier this year to charges of mishandling classified information.
Lawyers for Jill Kelley said they have issued subpoenas to Yahoo News editor Dan Klaidman, formerly of the Daily Beast; former Washington Post reporter Doug Frantz, who now is a senior State Department official; Daily Beast reporer Michael Daly; Daily Beast reporter Kim Dozier, formerly of the Associated Press; Washington Post reporter Adam Goldman, formerly of the Associated Press; AP reporter Anne Flaherty; ABC News journalist Justin Fishel, formerly of Fox News; Washington Post reporter Craig Whitlock and former Washington Post reporter and editor Rajic Chandrasekaran.
The reporters are expected to try to quash the subpoenas.
[….] Kelley’s team’s subpoenas to reporters follow a ruling by Jackson rejecting a subpoena for Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, who was the Pentagon’s top lawyer as the probe unfolded. The judge didn’t rule out requiring Johnson to testify, but said Kelley’s lawyers first needed to try to get journalists who filed stories about the case to indicate where they got information about Kelley.
