Report: Goss Knew Foggo Shared A Girlfriend With Russian Spy, But Hired Him Anyway
The Dusty Foggo story has never reflected well on Porter Goss -- the man who, as CIA director, gave Foggo the number 3 job at the agency. But it looks like we didn't know the half of it.
Congressional Quarterly has a juicy scoop:
Kyle "Dusty" Foggo's CIA dossier included allegations that he was sharing a woman with a suspected Russian mole, according to a top former spy agency official and other sources.CIA Director Porter J. Goss knew about the allegation when he hired Foggo to be the agency's executive director, its third highest official, an aide said today.
But Merrell Moorhead, an aide to Goss at the CIA from 2004 to 2006, said CIA security officials later withdrew that and other serious allegations about Foggo's record and "gave him a clean bill of health."
One former senior CIA official told CQ:
Everybody knew about him and Felix," said a former senior CIA official, who talked about Foggo on condition of anonymity. "It's scandalous that Goss hired him.
This news jibes with a report yesterday by the national security reporter Laura Rozen that Goss was aware of problems in Foggo's counter-intelligence file when he hired him.

Check out page 60 in the Foggo Appendix, where we learn that Dusty and Wilkes dined with DeLay and Lewis! And Lewis couldn't remember seeing Wilkes for 10 years... right.

You know, I'd say this was almost unbelievable - but then the last 8 years were one outrage after the next, always wondering: What else don't we know yet?

As always with BushCo, whenever you think it can't get any weirder, any more crass, any more incompetant, any more criminal, it always does. And we still don't know even a smidgen of went on these last eight years. And if Leahy gets his Commission wish granted, we never will.

I just want to know what happened over these last eight years, all the details, who did what, and why, why they aren't all in ....
Oz:
Oh, but you can, you can. In fact, you could've known all of these things all along. All you had to do was click your heels together three times while saying "I want them in jail."
Dorothy:
And the whole country would know of all of the Bush administration's innumerable crimes? And they'd all be tried and convicted and sent to ....
Oz:
Oh no, no, no. Of course not. (chuckle) I was just screwing with you.

"sharing a woman"? What?
You can share an apartment. Or a car. Even a toothbrush. But a woman, even one who might be a prostitute specializing in S&M, is still a person and not an inanimate object to be tossed back and forth.

Someone - please - tell me the girlfriend isn't the Dusty forced the CIA to hire.
According to reports, she was unable to even do her work at a minimal level, refused feedback from her boss, and the boss got fired for having the temerity to expect something above moronic job performance.
CIA and Rooskie with her in the middle, and yet Foggo got the gig.
Wow.

Anybody know what Porter and Pak ISI chief Gen. Mahmud Ahmad had for breakfast the morning of 9/11/2001? If the Pak ethnicity of KSM and Saeed Sheikh are classified/obfuscated in the 911 Commission Report, then Goss is appointed CIA director a few hours after that report is released, what coincidence happened about the same time as Goss retired? Foggo.
Foggo. I still say names like Foggo, Fawbus, and Baucus belong inside the beltway for a time. It's destiny. Dusty Foggo, that's a double destiny hit. Why complain? This too shall pass, why hurry?

Somebody got Gerald Ford to pardon somebody, and to award a plaque, personally, and shake the hand of the boody which was the girlfriend of somebody who was a pita to my dad, who really had the Y2K-compliant date and "Matrix(romantically so-called)" QAB/CENQUAL chromosome implemented, rather than the boody herself.
It happens, and I am sure she could have been quite intelligent and innovative if she had been allowed, but chauvinism and cigars come with the tie.

It's Goss' turn in the barrel.

What's your problem with sharing Phoebe Fay? My roommate and I shared a girlfriend for a year and all three of us were happy with the arangement. We're not sick or abnormal or anything like that, just ordinary people who chose to live outside the box. We're all still on good terms to, even though we've all moved on.

During the Duke Cunningham investigations a story arose of weekly poker games at a DC hotel. Among the participants were Congressmen, lobbyists, hookers. The booze, the hookers and the cards flowerd "liberally." Foggo was one of tne reported attendees along with Brent Wilkes, both caught up in the CIA corruption case.
One story broke on May 4 on MSNBC, and Porter Goss abruptly resigned from the CIA on May 5.
