Who is his first wife?
I should have said “former” wife. The one with French Intel that was refered to in a number of posts (in detail) after I brought it up.
See above.
The French Jacqueline Giorgi was Wilson's second wife- he met her in Africa she was posted as a french “cultural attache” (usually codeword for spook)-
She's no looker but she must have been somewhat useful to boosting garrulous Joe's africanist state dept career with her “French contacts” -
and Joe's contacts were useful to her after Joe became Ambassador to Gabon. We know Joe enjoyed pillow talk about the agency, the office and how important he was - so the crossfeed between Joe and his wife and French intelligence must have been fascinating.
After the divorce (which came after he impregnated secret CIA agent Valerie Plame, sarc) Jacqueline Wilson retained her married name and also she retained her role as “advisor” to the president of Gabon and raked in hundreds of thousands of dollars for her ... advisory duties. Her ex husband being married to the CIA and being sent to Africa with CIA trip money may have been useful in nickel and diming potentates for her advisory services..
It seems she also retained ties with Joe's consultant business efforts in Africa- this has never been fully investigated. Her address was the same as his in DC beyond the end of the marriage.
