1. Was he on the Appropriations Committee?
Edited on Fri May-05-06 02:37 PM by ewagner
I seem to remember that Ed Rollins inplicated members of the appropriations committee who went along with Cunningham and Wade.....I'll look for a link for you...also what committee assignments Goss had when he was a congressman.

on edit:

Just checked...apparently the scandal related committees were Intelligence and Defense NOT APPROPRIATIONS

Goss was chairman of the House Intelligence Committee....up to his ears in it...Randy Cunningham was on both also....

On Talking points memo, they speculated that Porter Goss fit the description of someone who was involved made by Ken Silverstein on Harpers' Magazine blog site.

CIA's Goss Drawn Into Hooker Probe?
By Justin Rood - April 27, 2006, 7:23 PM



Ken Silverstein reports at Harper's blog on the spreading Cunningham-Wade-Wilkes prostitute scandal. He says more lawmakers, past and present, are being investigated. Sounds like he thinks House Intel Chair-turned-CIA Director Porter Goss is one of them:

I've learned from a highly-connected source that those under intense scrutiny by the FBI are current and former lawmakers on Defense and Intelligence comittees -- including one person who now holds a powerful intelligence post.


Yowzah.
