"Have you ever punched a cyclist in the face?"
Former CIA agent and #3 at the CIA Kyle Foggo was recently convicted of bribery. According to the story:
In court papers, prosecutors describe how Kyle
“Dusty” Foggo was investigated in the late 1980s for punching a
bicyclist in a traffic dispute...
In the late 1980s, when Foggo was a young CIA agent, a foreign government filed a formal diplomatic protest following a traffic encounter involving Foggo. According to an affidavit from Jim Olson, a former CIA counterintelligence chief who was Foggo’s supervisor at an undisclosed location, Foggo’s car was blocking a bicycle path and an upset cyclist smacked the car’s trunk. Foggo responded by pushing the man off his bike, punching him in the face and driving off.
Foggo claimed the incident was fabricated by local authorities as part of a shakedown; Olson said he found Foggo’s explanation “entirely unrealistic and implausible.“ But Olson said he lacked the authority to interview local police about the incident, and could do nothing more than refer it to CIA headquarters for possible disciplinary action.
