Foggo Prosecutors Want Secret Testimony Revealed
By Zachary Roth - January 9, 2009, 4:29PM


Prosecutors in the Dusty Foggo case are urging the judge to make public secret grand jury testimony, saying that the American people has a right to know the extent of Foggo's misconduct, the AP reports.

They also argued that the testimony should be considered by the judge at Foggo's sentencing hearing, which is scheduled for next month.

Prosecutors won't say what the specific information that they want released from the transcripts is.

Foggo, the former number three official at the CIA, pleaded guilty to wire fraud in connection with a scheme to help his old friend Brent Wilkes to obtain agency contracts at inflated contracts. Former GOP congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham is serving a jail sentence for taking bribes from Wilkes.

4. Lay it on me.

I'm immune to outrage at this point. I can take it.

5. Just you wait.............

Consider Jack Abramoff, as well.

The prosecutors are sitting on their cases right now, waiting for Chimpy Fucknuts to be out of office so that he can't issue pardons.

The immediate aftermath of Obama's inauguration is going to be fabulous. There has been singing going on like you wouldn't believe. It's going to be a bloodbath. That's what I think.

Singing, dancing, carrying on, but mostly singing................

9. Oh please oh please oh please be true

FUD --> in here!

[Tangerine LaBamba]

11. It's true

Consider what was made public, but which most people didn't quite take in: when Abramoff was sentenced, it was made very clear that his sentence would be reduced in direct proportion to the amount of assistance he was to give the prosecutors. That was about two years ago.

And that's just one man.

14. Bush can issue blanket pardons prior to any indictments.

e.g. "all cia employees are hereby granted full immunity for any crimes they may have committed during my term" or some such crap

[Tangerine LaBamba]

19. Sure, he can do that,

but he has no idea who's being investigated or for what. In the end, our god is in the details.

I would, though, like to see him issue a blanket pardon for every citizen of the US.

Wouldn't that be interesting?

6. I'll bet it has to do with Cheney's complicity in all of this.

Cheney's office contracts were right in the middle of the mix.

13. I find it interesting this is happening at the same time that Brent Wilkes made bail this week...

and got let out of prison "waiting for his appeal" (how many of the rest of us get to do that?!!) since the judges claimed that his the houses they earlier ruled weren't worth the $1.4 million he needed for the bail, were now "worth more" and provided adequate value for his release or something to that effect. :silly: Hmm... Which alternate reality economy does are his houses in?

I wonder if there's anything more than coincidence to that timing...
