Wallace just said that Goss' resignation was "apparently forced". I've been out of the loop, is this true?
"Wallace just said that Goss' resignation was "apparently forced". I've been out of the loop, is this true?"
There are several threads on FR. From what I've read and heard, there is a lot of speculation on this, as follows:
1. Goss and Negropointe didn't get along and N wanted Goss out.
2. Goss didn't like the fact that N was taking over some of the duties, including daily briefings w the Pres that Goss used to have.
3. Goss originally only signed up for a short time - he's been in 18 mos and wants to leave.
4. Goss only signed up to 'clean house' at the CIA. Since he fired the traitor Mary McCarthy, his house cleaning work is done.
5. Goss is going to run as a Pubbie Sen candidate in FL against Nelson since Harris isn't doing very well.
6. The #3 man at the CIA, Fuggo, is under investigation for 'hookergate' - -attending poker parties, etc at the Watergate that involved the same businessman that is under investigation for providing hookers, etc to Duke Cunningham.
Goss went to some of the poke parties (but no one is accusing him of being involved w hookers).
The thing that is really rich about some of this speculation, is that some of it is being spread via articles by none other than Dana Priest and Walter Pincus - - talk about chutzpah!!
