CIA’S #3 TO RESIGN?

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 8, 2006 12:14 PM

ABC News is reporting:

Dusty Foggo, the executive director of the CIA linked to a bribery investigation, is expected to resign soon, according to CIA officials and his associates.

Outgoing CIA Director Porter Goss had refused to remove Foggo from his powerful post after Foggo came under investigation by the FBI and the CIA Inspector General.

A CIA official said Foggo’s resignation would be “pretty normal” following the resignation of Goss as Director.

The choice of Foggo to run the agency’s day-to-day activities has been cited as an example of Goss’ mismanagement of the spy agency.

Before being handpicked by Goss, Foggo had been written up for insubordination by his supervisor, the highest ranking African American woman in the CIA.

A CIA official confirmed the incident but said the insubordination report was never formally filed.

The supervisor, Jeanette Moore, resigned shortly after Foggo was promoted by Goss.

Foggo recently admitted that he attended Washington, D.C. poker parties that figure in a widening corruption scandal involving a defense contractor, Brent Wilkes, who is a longtime friend of Foggo.

Federal officials are investigating whether Wilkes also provided prostitutes at the parties. Foggo has denied seeing any prostitutes at the parties he attended.

The FBI and the CIA Inspector General are both investigating whether any of the CIA contracts awarded to Wilkes were handled improperly.

Foggo has strongly denied any impropriety involving CIA contracts.
