What Does Dusty Foggo Know about the Torture Tapes?

The AP caught something rather curious.

Dusty Foggo, heading off to prison for his role in schemes involving Brent Wilkes, has a date to talk with John Durham, who is investigating the torture tape destruction, and because of that date, he'll get to put off reporting to prison for a week.

Mr. Foggo seeks this brief continuance because he has agreed to be interviewed by Special Prosecutor John H. Durham concerning the destruction of videotaped evidence by the Central Intelligence Agency. The interview is scheduled to be held in Washington, D.C. on April 8, 2009. However, Mr. Foggo is currently scheduled to report to USP McCreary in Pine Knot, Kentucky on April 7, 2009.

(snip)

Special Prosecutor Durham has consulted with the government and has informed counsel for Mr. Foggo that the prosecution team has no objection to the proposed continuance.

..............

More interestingly, Foggo would likely badly like to get revenge on some of the people who allowed him to face criminal charges, whether in the Bush Administration or CIA or former CIA witnesses.

1. Republicans these days seem to be relishing

eating their own.

2. Time for Foggo to pull out his 'hold card' and give up real secrets to avoid lengthy incarceration..

He was directly involved in some of the most clandestine activities of the CIA which he can now trade for leniency, just not publicly.

I have been expecting him to change his position on 'cooperating' once it became clear that his CIA buddies would not come to his rescue in order to keep him quiet.

6. If he is smart he will put all his cards on the table and ask for witness protection.

9. witness protection from the cia? good luck with that! nt

3. I hope someone has him in protective custody or that he has protection

round the clock!! the best Protection..i mean..if that is possible..with the strings this guy has inside and outside the CIA.

7. Why a surprise? MZM provided the false Iraq WMD info, CACI and Titan Corp the torturers.

These guys, who did the worst stuff in Iraq, were CIA/DIA and buddies with Foggo and Goss. Foggo also ran around with domestic dirty tricks guys who serviced Rove and other ranking GOP figures, such as Jerry Parsky, who was one of the Bush41 BCCI figures.

They all profited from vulture capital and defense companies.

Daily Kos: Dumpster Diving: Donors selecting USA's? Virtually unknown in Washington, Parsky talks to top Bush aide Karl Rove several ..... This doesn't mean, thought, that the Cunningham-Wilkes-Foggo scandal ...
