  • MSNBC: Foggo Gone:

    POSTED BY

    MSNBC just reported that K. Dusty Foggo, the number three man at the CIA, has resigned. From Raw Story:

    Foggo’s resignation was reported Monday on MSNBC. The email, which the network did not provide, allegedly stated that in light of CIA Director Porter Goss’s departure, Foggo is stepping down.

    UPDATE: Foggo’s resignation is no longer limited to internal CIA emails. The Associated Press just reported that Foggo has resigned and that the FBI is investigating Foggo for improperly awarding contracts to Brent Wilkes (who is also accused of bribing Duke Cunningham).

    The FBI recently opened its own probe of Foggo, a longtime and close friend of Wilkes, the official said, speaking only on condition of anonymity because the investigation is under way.

    FBI agents also have been looking into whether Wilkes supplied Cunningham with prostitutes, limousines and hotel suites. Foggo sometimes attended poker parties at the hotel rooms, but he said there was nothing untoward about his presence.

    Josh Marshall previously blogged about this FBI investigation.
