CIA Officer to Contractor: "As Long As I Breathe," I'll Be Your Partner

Wow. Indictments can sometimes make for boring affairs, but this one is just popping with details.

The underlying allegation is that Foggo, while he was perched atop a key contracting position at the CIA, made repeated efforts to throw his best friend Brent Wilkes business. In return, Wilkes paid for swanky vacations to Scotland and other locales, dinners, and other perks, and kept open a post at his company for when Foggo retired. And the two concealed the whole thing from Foggo's CIA associates and ethics officials by using shell companies and flat out lying about their relationship.

The indictment is chock full of emails and other details that reveal the nature of Wilkes and Foggo's relationship. A selection:

As has been reported before, Wilkes "reserved an office for Foggo near Wilkes's own office in the executive suite" of his headquarters, "an offer which remained open and under consideration by Foggo," according to the indictment.

Accordingly, in December, 2003, Wilkes "introduced Foggo to a group of employees as a future executive in Wilkes' companies."

In September, 2004, Foggo wrote Wilkes after a CIA contractor had raised concerns about doing business with Wilkes: "I am now, have been in the past, and will continue to as long as I breath [sic] - be your partner... so what do you want me to do?"

And finally, In March, 2005, Foggo revealed to a bank loan officer that he already had a road map for cashing out. He wrote: "I plan to retire in circa 3 years... I have a big offer from a company in California...."

More details soon....

"I am now, have been in the past, and will continue to as long as I breath [sic] - be your partner... so what do you want me to do?"

Wow, sounds like he wanted to be his life partner. Were the hookers provided by the limo company just a cover? Lord forgive me for the snark.
Seriously, Did these guys really think that what they were doing was legit? Seems kind of stupid to put things like this in email. Hubris anyone?

So Foggo concealed all this from his fellow CIA employees?

I guess the aren't called the Clueless Intelligence Agency for nothing.

Maybe Corrupt Intelligence Agency would be more fitting. How can you ever expect to find a spook working for America's demise when you can't find a
spook working for America's demise that is within your own inner circle?

Something is really wrong in this country and if we don't eradicate it soon we are done. We have to start with making Carole Lam an independent prosecutor with full run of the Whitehouse. She should be there so often that Barney thinks he belongs to her and not the Great Decider.

IIRC, the gender of the hookers was never clear. There was some speculation that the Duke's denial of contact with women at the hotel was a fairly empty bit of rhetoric.

Mrs. Cunningham did get that aids test when she dumped him.

Hey is that a pic of Wilkes or the guy with the Maserati who got shot in the head by his girlfriend last night on 24?

Corrupt Idiots Agency?

The Hill is reporting that the prosecutor in the case was one of those being 'dismissed' by Bushco.

I'm shocked at the coincidence!

Do I smell new 'buddy movie' or reality show brewing for next season?

It will be most interesting, in about 60 days or so, to quickly survey that US Atty office's disposition of resources, to determine if this pup is getting hind teat. Keep up the good work, TPM!

Does anyone in the whole world but me know that Brent Wilkes says "I lost my passport".

This post is NOT a joke. I was at the San Diego Federal Court building at 2:00 p.m. yesterday.

When he was fingerprinted he was supposed to give his passport to the authorities, and he said "I lost my passport"!

How gullible do these men think that middle class America really is?

Could ANYONE perceive that Brent Wilkes lost his passport? He thinks we're all a monkey's idiot.
