Friend reports to her FBI lover who in turn decides to investigate and finds out it's Paula who is doing Petreus. FBI agent subsequently gets bitter, probably after Jill dumps him and reports this to higher ups and his congressman and starts a full blown investigation that destroys everyone. Done and done.
add - in the meantime, Jill was also exchanging an unclear number of e-mails (FBI says 30K, he say a few hundreds) with Petreus' sucessor General Allen, who probably should have more pressing things to do back in Afganistan than sitting at his PC e-mailing a married woman in Florida
