CIA Chief Drawn Into Hill Sex Probe? Sweeney Puts "Party" In Grand Old Party and since Cunningham swung both ways, were the prostitutes male or female? Inquiring minds want to know. Finally! Hookers and sex. Impeach Porter Goss!!
The wall Street Journal reported today that indicted former California Congressman Randall "Duke" Cunningham
may not have limited his good times to partying on a rented yacht. It
turns out the FBI is currently investigating two defense contractors
who allegedly provided Cunningham with free limousine service, free
stays at hotel suites at the Watergate and the Westin Grand, and free
prostitutes.
The two defense contractors who allegedly paid most of the bills, said the Journal, were Brent Wilkes, the founder of ADCS Inc., and Mitchell Wade, the founder of MZM Inc.; both firms profited greatly from
their connections with Cunningham. The Journal
also suggested that other lawmakers might be implicated. I've learned
from a well-connected source that those under intense scrutiny by the
FBI are current and former lawmakers on Defense and Intelligence
comittees—including one person who now holds a powerful intelligence
post. I've also been able to learn the name of the limousine service
that was used to ferry the guests and other attendees to the parties:
Shirlington Limousine and Transportation of Arlington, Virginia.
Wilkes, I've learned, even hired Shirlington as his personal limousine
service.
It gets
even more interesting: the man who has been identified as the CEO of
Shirlington has a 62-page rap sheet (I recently obtained a copy) that
runs from at least 1979 through 1989 and lists charges of petty
larceny, robbery, receiving stolen goods, assault, and more.
Curiously—or perhaps not so curiously given the company's
connections—Shirlington Limousine is also a Department of Homeland
Security contractor; according to the Washington Post, last fall it won a $21.2 million contract for shuttle services and transportation support. (I tried to contact Shirlington
but was unable to get past their answering service.)
As
to the festivities themselves, I hear that party nights began early
with poker games and degenerated into what the source described as a
"frat party" scene - real bacchanals.Apparently photographs were taken,
and investigators are anxiously procuring copies. My heart beats faster
in fevered anticipation.
Expect further details to emerge . . .
Scarborough tonight leads with the Wilkes/prostitution scandal. One of the
issues the Republican used against Clinton was the threat of blackmail,
not just from Monica, but from anyone who knew about it. The perception
is that once a Lobbyist has "something" on you, it's cheaper to
blackmail you than to bribe you.
MZM bought Goss and Cunningham prostitutes and Katherine Harris must have stole their makeup.
