Reply #16: Foggo only gets 3+ years sentence! [View All]

And his defense is arguing for probation in light of all of the "good deeds" he did in the CIA (which of course we won't hear about because we can't see "secret stuff")...

This is BS! Folks like Foggo are really getting off for what likely were truly criminal and damaging acts. He must really have some goods on us that he's using to get this kind of hands-off treatment.

Former CIA exec gets more than 3 years in prison
55 minutes ago

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A former high-ranking CIA official has been sentenced to more than three years in prison for a fraud scheme in which he steered procurement contracts to an old friend.

The 37-month sentence for Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, who held the CIA's No. 3 rank from 2004 to 2006, matched prosecutors' recommendations. He pleaded guilty to a single count of fraud.

Defense lawyers had argued for probation and cited Foggo's good deeds over two decades with the CIA, many of which remain classified.
Prosecutors said Foggo received tens of thousands of dollars worth of lavish gifts and vacations in exchange for helping his old friend, contractor Brent Wilkes, obtain no-bid contracts.

They also say Foggo forced the CIA to hire his mistress for a six-figure job for which she was unqualified.
