John Aravosis is yapping up a storm, and letting out details he doesn’t quite comprehend are (a) not common knowledge and (b) implicate him as working to orchestrate Foleygate in the media. It is important to note all the activity in July of 2006 regarding the non-salacious emails between Foley and a Page from Louisianna (aka, the LA Page). I have done numerous posts on these emails (the last one here with back referencing links). Reader TopSecretK9 as reminded me of this Aravosis comment when he admitted in October that he had the Foley Emails in July and mentioned he had done nothing after talking to CREW. She found this recent Aravosis post which tipped some more information out:

When I received the Foley emails this past July, had I been warned two or three years ago that Foley was stalking pages, I’d have turned the emails over to the FBI myself, not waiting for CREW to do it (which was shortly after I received them anyway)

I've been following the story, but cannot remember who John Arovosis is. Could you get me up to speed?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Looks like the guys on top of this belive there was some faking going on.......

*******************AN EXCERPT **********************************

The question is where did Aravosis get his copies. Interestingly, Aravosis posted the FORGED versions of the emails from the StopSexPredators (SPP) website! These are clearly forged because there is no date fields in the headers and the punctuation is not right compared to those from ABC News and CREW. Why did Aravosis use the faked up versions on his blog? We need to see what versions he has, but the only version he showed were those from SSP. He admits coordinating things with CREW and uses the forged emails to create a post (in haste, no doubt). We seem to be getting closer to the truth.

I think he is pardnering with Mike Rodgers.....in the outing exercise....one of the many threads had something on him....but I don't remember which one.

Somebody will likely be along and educate us both.

Ernest, I cannot keep up with this. Do you know if there is a list somewhere of the names of the people involved in this and thier positions and/or blogs? I am just totally lost.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I think the Blog with the story has a timeline,...new names keep appearing though,...it's moving pretty fast and I wasn't in on it at the beginning.

Onyx might be around and she was,,,,

But let me make a try here ....

This is starting to resemble the faked up story on President Bush and his National Guard Issues....

A NGO heavily involved is the one headed by a Ms Sloan,...I believe....funding from Soros....name Is CREW ....one witty Freeper is suggesting it be called SCREW for Soros and Clinton for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington



CREW= Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW)

I'm here, but on the FReepathon thread.
You're doing magnificently!

[Miss Marple]

Thanks guys. This has been a week when I couldn't be on the computer as much as I would like. I caught a couple days of this and thought I was informed, and then got totally lost!

I will check back and meanwhile am going to check the other threads.

[SunkenCiv]

What onyx said.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Thanks!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I am going to pledge I promise....

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

The most coherent detail is the blog from which this came and a Blog from Foley's district....

Foley Setup? - The Key - Danielle Savoy?

**************************************AN EXCERPT **********************************

From the Palm Beach Post back on September 29th:

“WASHINGTON - U.S. Rep. Mark Foley’s campaign Thursday called the disclosure of a series of e-mails between the congressman and a 16-year-old former congressional page a “political attack and … the worst kind of character assassination.”

But the campaign of Foley’s challenger, Democrat Tim Mahoney, denied he was behind the release of the e-mails and said the issue should be “a matter for the appropriate authorities to investigate.”

The e-mails - which Foley spokesman Jason Kello said Foley wrote a year ago - publicly surfaced Sunday on an Internet blog site devoted to exposing sexual predators.

*****************************************************

According to sources familiar with the e-mails, the page - who lives in Monroe, La. - forwarded copies of Foley’s e-mails to Danielle Savoy, a former scheduler for U.S. Rep. Rodney Alexander, a Republican from Monroe. Savoy could not be reached for comment and Alexander’s office did not return phone calls.”

Note the “former” and the fact that no one has heard of her since.

Update just above.....

[onyx]

Danielle Savoy? MIGHT have been previously mentioned. Not sure. GOOD catch, Ernest!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

She was working for a Republican Congressman.....

I'm gonna drop this in here so I don't lose track of it ( The Rubbies are fighting back ) :

Pelosi Trip To Puerto Rico Comes Into Question As
Minority Leader Continues Partisan Attacks Against Republicans
_________________________________________________________

Reports Indicate Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) Took Trip With Democrat Ethics Committee Member Who Listed Lobbyist As Paying For Travel:

"House Republicans ... Called On Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi To Provide Documentation To Prove That A Washington Lobbyist Firm Did Not Pay For A Trip She And Other Democrats Took To Puerto Rico In 2001." (Charles Hurt, "Pelosi Pressed For Trip Records," The Washington Times, 4/22/05)

"The Washington Times Reported Earlier This Week That Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, Ohio Democrat And Member Of The House Ethics Committee, Listed A Registered Lobbyist As The Trip's Sponsor. ... After The Discrepancy Was Made Public, Mrs. Jones Amended Her Travel Disclosure Form To Match Those Of Mrs. Pelosi And Other Travelers." (Charles Hurt, "Pelosi Pressed For Trip Records," The Washington Times, 4/22/05)

• "A Spokeswoman In Mrs. Jones' Office Blamed The Conflicting Information On 'Human Error' But Declined To Provide Proof That The Trip Was Paid For By Todo Puerto Rico Con Vieques, Rather Than D.C. Lobbyist Smith, Dawson & Andrews." (Charles Hurt, "Pelosi Pressed For Trip Records," The Washington Times, 4/22/05)

Tubbs Jones Received $5,000 Contribution From Pelosi's PAC, PAC To The Future, In 2001. (Political Money Line Website, www.tray.com, Accessed 4/22/05)

Pelosi Refuses To Release Records To Prove That Lobbyist Did Not Pay For Puerto Rico Trip:

"Mrs. Pelosi Also Refused To Provide Any Such Documentation, And Testily Dismissed Questions ... About The Matter. 'There's No Discrepancy In The Records On My Trip,' The California Democrat Said. 'So That's All I Can Answer For.'" (Charles Hurt, "Pelosi Pressed For Trip Records," The Washington Times, 4/22/05)

• Pelosi Dances Around Jones' Ethics, Won't Provide Documentation To Clear Her Name. Q: "Republicans are calling you on [sic] to provide documentation for a trip that you and Stephanie Tubbs Jones took in July of 2001 to Puerto Rico, verifying that it was paid for by who it was paid for. There has been some discrepancy in the records there." PELOSI: "No, there is no discrepancy in the records on my trip. That is all I can answer for. I can only answer for myself." Q: "She is a member of the Ethics Committee. She obviously understands the process pretty well." PELOSI: "She corrected her report." Q: "She stated that a lobbyist paid for the trip. She now says differently." PELOSI: "Yes; right." Q: "Why not just provide documentation for it and clear it all up?" PELOSI: "It's all a matter of record. It's all a matter of record on any of our travel." (Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Press Conference, Washington, D.C., 4/21/05)

While Pelosi Attacks Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) For KORUSEC Trip, She Ignores Own Staffer Who Took Trip With Same Group:

"Literally Days Before DeLay's Trip, KORUSEC [Korea-United States Exchange Council] Had Changed Its Legal Status And Registered As A Foreign Agent ... KORUSEC Admits Failing To Report The Changes To DeLay And Other Trip Participants. ...This Did Not Stop House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Whose Own Staff Member Had Traveled With KORUSEC, From Attacking DeLay." (Eric Pfeiffer, "Target: DeLay," National Review, 4/11/05)

"The Aide To Pelosi, Eddie Charmaine Manansala, Took A Trip Sponsored By The Council From June 26 Through July 3, 2004, But Only Filed The Required Disclosure Form With The House On [March 9, 2005]." (Larry Margasak, "Nearly Two Dozen House Members And Aides Accept Improper Travel," The Associated Press, 3/10/05)

Another Pelosi Staffer Took Trip Paid For By Pelosi Donor, As Pelosi Helped Donor Get Federal Money:

"House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi Helped Secure $3 Million Last Year For A Nonprofit Transportation-Research Organization Whose President Gave Money To Her Political Action Committee As The Group Was Paying For A European Trip For One Of Her Policy Advisers." (Stephen Dinan, "Pelosi Helped Donor To PAC," The Washington Times, 4/5/05)

"Transportation Adviser Lara Levison's Nine-Day, $4,475 Trip To Spain And Germany ... Was Primarily Paid For By WestStart-CALSTART." (Stephen Dinan, "Pelosi Helped Donor To PAC," The Washington Times, 4/5/05)

• "But Just Days Before The Trip, WestStart-CALSTART Announced That Mrs. Pelosi Had Helped The Nonprofit Group Secure $1 Million From The Federal Transit Administration For A Bus Rapid-Transit Program." "A month after the Levison trip, the group sent out a press release thanking her for a $2 million grant for a fuel-cell program." (Stephen Dinan, "Pelosi Helped Donor To PAC," The Washington Times, 4/5/05)

Pelosi Turns House Ethics Committee Into Venue For Partisan Attacks:

"While Pelosi Has Portrayed Herself Repeatedly As Having No Role In The DeLay Case, Or Anything Else Before The Ethics Committee, [Ethics Committee Ranking Minority Member] Rep. Alan Mollohan (D-W.Va.) Acknowledged In An Interview Last Week That He Has Met With The Minority Leader Recently On The DeLay Matter, Now At A Critical Juncture." (John Bresnahan, "Pelosi Monitors DeLay Probe," Roll Call, 9/27/04)

"Pelosi, Who Served For Seven Years On The Ethics Committee, Has Stated Numerous Times That She Has Nothing To Do With The Decisions Made By The Ethics Panel, And Knows Little Or Nothing Of What Is Happening Inside The Committee." (John Bresnahan, "Pelosi Monitors DeLay Probe," Roll Call, 9/27/04)
