CIA Official's Home, Office Searched
By KATHERINE SHRADER, Associated Press Writer 4 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Law enforcement officials executed search warrants Friday on the house and office of CIA's outgoing executive director, the FBI said.

The agency's third ranking official, Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, has been under investigation by the FBI, IRS, Defense Criminal Investigative Service and the CIA's inspector general, said FBI spokeswoman April Langwell in San Diego.

Under a sealed warrant, officials searched Foggo's Virginia home and his office at the CIA's Langley, Va., campus, Langwell said. She could provide no other details.

1. I wonder if they'll turn up any phone records?
Good thing Foggo resigned on Monday; it would be highly inconvenient for the corrupt Bush administration to have to explain why such a high-ranking appointee was having his home and office searched. Now Foggo's just another private citizen, nothing to see here, no connection whatsoever with anything to do currently with the Bush administration, nosiree.

Their caption: Kyle "Dusty" Foggo directs the CIA's day-to-day operations.

I guess nobody told them.

2. Just updated again, a minute ago
The FBI and other agencies have been investigating whether Foggo improperly intervened in the award of contracts to a San Diego businessman and personal friend, Brent Wilkes, who has been implicated in a congressional bribery scandal.

In a statement, CIA spokeswoman Jennifer Millerwise Dyck also confirmed the searches of his home and office on Friday morning.

"The agency is cooperating fully with the Department of Justice and the FBI," she said. "Agency leaders outside of the (inspector general's office) were informed just prior to the execution of the search warrants, in keeping with standard law enforcement procedures."

5. "occasional card games with friends..."
Edited on Fri May-12-06 12:25 PM by Sparkly
Foggo has acknowledged participating in the poker parties at the hotel rooms, but he has said there was nothing untoward about that. “If he attended occasional card games with friends over the years, Mr. Foggo insists they were that and nothing more,” the CIA statement said.
