Ex-CIA Official May Face New Charges
EmailWhoops! Looks like the feds may slap an indicted former top CIA official with even more charges, as they had hinted they might.
Former Agency #3 man Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, handpicked for the senior post by former CIA director Porter Goss, already faces 30 felony counts stemming from his complicated relationship with imprisoned briber/fraudster Brent Wilkes. Prosecutors say the two ran schemes on the CIA’s funds, bilking millions of taxpayer dollars with bogus contracts for things like supplying bottled water to CIA operations in the Middle East.
In February, prosecutors said they had "recently uncovered" new evidence against Foggo.
Foggo has pleaded not guilty to the original charges,which include money laundering, conspiracy and fraud. The new counts — if they come at all — should arrive in April, prosecutors reportedly said at a hearing Friday. Foggo’s trial is set to begin in November and is expected to last at least a month.

I wonder what this guy really did wrong. Whether he was corrupt or not is really not the reason behind prosecution, he must have crossed the wrong person within CIA. All the CIA drug-runners and intel officers making insider stock trades based on info gleaned from illegal wiretaps get off scott-free.
