CIA No. 3, facing bribe probe, quits

[Tempest]

CIA Director Porter Goss' No. 3 man at the agency, facing investigation as part of a congressional bribe probe, quit Monday, an official said.

Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, the CIA's executive director, announced his resignation in an e-mail message to agency staff, a U.S. official told United Press International on condition of anonymity.

His departure follows Goss' hasty resignation Friday, which some reports have linked to the broadening bribe probe centered on disgraced former California GOP Congressman Randall "Duke" Cunningham.

17. Don't forget "Buzzy" Krongard who used to have "Dusty"'s job

He jumped ship not long after Goss was appointed.

5. On NPR..

... a few minutes ago they had Mike Isikoff on there claiming that Goss was not even alledged to be involved in Hookergate. We shall see.

This is why I don't listen to these lying asses much any more.

[Zhade]

6. Foggo quit...now we can really suspect this is part of Fornigate.

(What a name for the scandal too, it's very clever!)

I think some DUers were suggesting that if this guy fled, it would confirm some suspicions about why Gross Goss left.

[Wheres The Beef]

18. MSNBC blaming Clinton already

From the MSNBC story

"However, a source has told NEWSWEEK that Foggo had acknowledged to associates that he may have tipped off Wilkes that CIA contracts were coming up for bid—an activity which, according to the source, Foggo said was neither improper nor illegal. The source is close to a group of poker players who took part in a 1999 game arranged by Wilkes and attended by Foggo, Cunningham and a nine-fingered former CIA officer named Brant Bassett, who worked for Goss when the outgoing CIA chief was House Intelligence Committee chair."

27. I just found it on the ABC website and it said breaking.

[peekaloo]

28. CBS News was quick to point out that his resignation had nothing

to do with the Cunningham/hooker probe. He just couldn't continue without his precious Porter at the helm.

:eyes:
