US Attorney Fired After Declaring Intent to Search Foggo

This is dynamite, the minute Carol Lam informed Washington that she was going after Kyle “Dusty” Foggo, the #3 man at the CIA, who was being bribed by the same crooks who bribed GOP congressmen Duke Cunningham (and the yet-to-be-indicted Jerry Lewis), the Justice Department began the process of purging her.

Feinstein said Lam notified the Justice Department on May 10, 2006, that she planned to serve search warrants on Kyle Dustin “Dusty” Foggo, who’d resigned two days earlier as the No. 3 official at the CIA.

On May 11, 2006, Kyle Sampson, then Gonzales’ chief of staff, sent an e-mail to deputy White House counsel William Kelley, asking Kelley to call to discuss “the real problem we have right now with Carol Lam that leads me to conclude that we should have someone ready to be nominated on 11/18, the day her 4-year term expires.”
