re: "James Hogan Case: Wife of Missing Diplomat Charged with Witness Tampering, False Statements, and Obstruction of Justice"

Domani Spero at Diplopundit ("an obsessive compulsive observer, diplomatic watcher, and opinionator who monitors the goings on at ‘Foggy-Bottom’ (i.e. the State Department) and the “worldwide available” universe from Albania to Zimbabwe") had a major update to the case of the missing vice consul.

Money quote(s):

"James Hogan Case: Missing Diplomat’s Wife Pleads Guilty to Obstruction of Justice"

&

"We have been following this case since September 2009 when FSO James Hogan was first reported missing in the Netherlands Antilles.... Despite the obstruction of justice guilty plea here, we are nowhere closer to understanding what happened to Mr. Hogan over there."

From the old Diplopundit site (8/26/2011):


"James Hogan Case: Wife of Missing Diplomat Charged with Witness Tampering, False Statements, and Obstruction of Justice

The spouse of James Hogan, the U.S. diplomat who disappeared in the Netherlands Antilles has been charged by DOJ in a multiple count indictment for her alleged role in the "obstruction of a multi-national investigation into the disappearance of her husband": "

Clearly, this raises a set of some fairly obvious suspicions about whatever fate (or fates) befell our colleague V/C Hogan. And just as obviously I'm going to not air any unfounded speculation on that score in this venue. CAA has no inside scoop on this, and if I did I wouldn't discuss that here.

I will say that the police force(s) and investigator(s) on this case seem to be turning over pretty much exactly the rocks they should be overturning in their effort to discover what befell V/C Hogan. And it may be that, whatever guilt may actually attach to Mrs. Hogan, this is as much as can be proven in a court of law.
