The Resorts, The Meals, The Humidors!

Dusty Foggo, while he was a contracting officer at the CIA, helped his best friend Brent Wilkes land multimillion dollar contracts with the agency, and in return....?

Well, Foggo had a job waiting for him at Wilkes' headquarters. But that wasn't all.

Here's our preliminary accounting of all the goodies Brent Wilkes threw Dusty Foggo's way, while he was a contracting officer at the CIA, all culled from the indictment:

August 3, 2003 - Wilkes paid for Foggo and family to join Wilkes and family on a vacation to Scotland - $12,000 in private jets, $4,000 in helicopter ride to a round of golf at Carnoustie, $44,000 for a stay at Pitcastle estate, which included trout fishing on hill lochs, salmon fishing on the River Tay, clay-pigeon shooting, archery, and a seven-person staff

December 27, 2003 - Foggo joined Wilkes on a vacation to the "Sullivan Estates" in Haleiwa, Hawaii, for which Wilkes paid approximately $32,000

January 28, 2004 - Wilkes treated Foggo to a dinner at the Capital Grille, for which Wilkes paid $1,195.96, of which Foggo's pro-rata share was approximately $398.65

November 20, 2004 - Wilkes treated Foggo to a meal at the Serbian crown restaurant, for which Wilkes paid $773.65, of which Foggo's pro rate share was approximately $257,88

November 20,2004 - Wilkes gave Foggo an Ellie Bleu cigar humidor, which Wilkes Subordinate X had purchased for $2,307.38 at Wilkes' direction

November 21, 2004 - Wilkes treated Foggo to a meal at the Capital Grille in Tyson's Corner, Virginia, for which Wilkes paid $712.15, of which Foggo's pro rata share was approximately $237.38

November 22, 2004 - Wilkes treated Foggo to a meal at Ruth's Chris Steak House in Fairfax, Virginia, for which Wilkes paid $902.33, of which Foggo's pro rata share was approximately $225.58

Tip for government employees: When in doubt, skip the all-expenses-paid golfing trip to Scotland. Just trust me on this one.

Goodness. Who else provided trips to Scotland?

A common modus operandii? Forgive my ignorance, I've not yet traveled to Scotland...

Two words: Safavian. Abramoff.

(Oh, hell, let's toss in a third: Ney.)

Can indictments of Jerry Lewis and Duncan Hunter be far behid?

JohnW asks, "Can indictments of Jerry Lewis and Duncan Hunter be far behid?"

Goodness, I hope so... Jerry Lewis definitely spans the two conspiracies, and Duncan Hunter's not far behind...

Yeah, what about Rep. Jerry Lewis? Hotshot investigative reporter, John Solomon, made a big stink about Harry Reid's land deal but has nothing to say about Lewis's land deal with Marvin "Buzz" Oates, big time California real estate developer and member of the ultra-right wing Council for National Policy.

Lewis reported making between $250k and $500k on the sale of 5850 Alder Ave. in Sacramento in October 2003. I couldn't find any record indicating that Lewis ever bought or sold property at 5850 Alder Ave.

I did find a record of Marvin L. Oates, Trustee for the Marvin L. Oates Trust, selling 5850 Alder Ave to Roxie Real Estate Investments LLC for $1.895 million on October 19, 2003.

Did Rep. Lewis even put up any of his own money in the deal?

So, for around $96K, Foggo sold his soul to Brent Wilkes and gave him a multi-million dollar contract to deliver water? Either Foggo is a total idiot, or Wilkes is a pied piper extraordinaire.

Golf . . . The gateway drug for Republican payola whores.
