VIENNA, Va.– Federal agents Friday morning raided the home of Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, who stepped down this week from the No. 3 post at the CIA amid accusations of improper ties to a defense contractor named as a co-conspirator in the bribery case of former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham.
Investigator: Wants more from Cunningham
Lewis subject of probe into 'earmarks'


One agent told reporters that Foggo was not at the modest home in a quiet suburban neighborhood near the CIA's Langley headquarters and had not been detained. The agents refused to answer other questions about the raid, including what agencies were involved.

A neighbor said the agents arrived about 8 a.m. ET. A white Chevrolet van was backed up to the carport of the split-level brick home and, at one point, a man wearing latex gloves emerged from the house and went around the back.

Foggo resigned his post at the CIA on Monday, after the FBI began investigating whether he improperly steered contracts to Brent Wilkes, a Poway defense contractor and longtime friend of Foggo's. The CIA's inspector general has been investigating Foggo for at least three months.

Wilkes, who has not been charged with a crime, has been identified as one of two defense contractors who plied Cunningham with at least $2.4 million in bribes in return for government contracts. The other contractor, Mitchell Wade, pled guilty to corruption charges in February.

Cunningham, a Republican from Rancho Santa Fe, is serving an eight-year prison term.

5. Did they get the Lady Kenmores?
But what about Foggo the #3 guy in the CIA was a security guard in a sears in Chula Vista, CA?



Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, a security guard at Sears in Chula Vista, became third in command at the CIA.

Brent Wilkes lived a millionaire's dream in Poway and ran a booming defense company.

"They're doing the same thing they did in high school. They're just 30 years older," added Jimmy.

Jimmy said Wilkes and Foggo always had wild parties, women, and fast cars.
...
Hartin said the two talked about partying together in Central America where Foggo was a CIA agent during the Iran-Contra Scandal.

Hartin added, "He told everybody about his deals in El Salvador. You'd walk into Mulvaney's here on Broadway in Chula Vista and that's what everyone was talking about, Dusty's secret missions.".....In 1991, Wilkes brought Iran-Contra front man Oliver North to San Diego for a book signing.
...
"These guys could care less about their country. All they cared about was their pocket book and their image, and their women and their cars," added Jimmy.
