7:14Now Playing"Former Gen. David Petraeus' affair was uncovered by email tracing that directed investigators to an email account that linked the then-CIA chief to Paula Broadwell, according to the Wall Street Journal.
After Jill Kelley, a volunteer organizer of social events at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla., alerted the FBI to a set of "harassing" emails she received, FBI agents traced the messages back to Broadwell using "metadata footprints" found in the emails, the Wall Street Journal reported. From this data, they were able to determine where the emails were sent from, and the locations matched places where Broadwell was staying, the Journal said."*

We now know details of what was said in the emails and why they happened, and it's a bit different than most expected. Cenk Uygur breaks down the story and how Petraeus became an unwitting victim of a zealous surveillance system.
