Get Your Lawyers Foleygate Scandal About to Bust Open (Gateway Pundit doing good detective work!)
Gateway Pundit ^ | 10/4/06

Posted on 10/04/2006 7:15:47 AM PDT by areafiftyone

** THIS STORY IS ABOUT TO BUST OPEN! **

What we know now...

Radical Gay Rights Activists held on to information about Representative Foley for months and years. These "Rights Activists" knew that representative Foley had relationships with "young men less than half his age." They did their own investigation on Foley. They even flew in their sources in to be interviewed about the Representative. They shared this information with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. They held on to the information for over a year. They wrote about how they would break the story at midterm elections.

These you must read to catch up on the story...
MacsMind - Foleygate Part IV
MacsMind - Foleygate Part V

QandO Blog now has evidence that John Aravosis (the radical gay activist from AmericaBlog- "He deserves to be publicly excoriated." 7-2004) had copies of the emails "months ago!"

This is important from Macsmind-

"However, I do know that the specific focus of the FBI at this point is to determine who knew about Foley’s activities, when they knew it and specifically who withheld evidence in what may be a Federal Crime. Yet like in many investigations, there is sometimes the uncovering of other crimes that takes place. It should be said at this point that the attempt to extort or influence, or threaten a US congressman, in order to influence legislation, or an election is a Federal Crime, and if in fact principals were involved in such an orchestrated plan it will be discovered."

Again, I must point out that even as a constituant of former respresentitive Foley, I detest his actions, and do not condone and accept them in anyway. In fact I support his prosecution if applicable laws have been broken. But again, those who particpated before the fact in the “outing” of Foley, seem to have had at this point specific knowledge of his activities and if proven at the least are guilty of conspriracy to withhold evidence, and obstruction of justice.
Sweetness and Light reported on the Mike Rogers connection on Sunday:

Well the good news is that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is finally getting it. I called their Director of Communications, Bill Burton, before the Foley story broke to let him know about Foley (and another case) were coming down the pike. While Burton promised to have someone email or return my call and didn't, I am glad he followed up on my call and was ready on Friday to come out of the gate running.

The bad new is they are still not paying enough attention... There are others within reach... If the Democrats would only fight half as hard as the Republicans.
Thomas Lifson at The American Thinker has more.

According to Lifson, Aravosis (one of the known liberals outing gay congress people) said he obtained the latest information about the five-term congressman from Foley’s former chief of staff, Kirk Fordham.

QUESTION - Did Fordham have acccess to Foley’s IM account information, screen name and password? Very likely. Could he have passed this information onto Aravosis and Rogers? Very possible. Could some of the IMs been manufactured then by Rogers or Aravosis, those being reported by ABC. Probable.

We know someone logged onto Foley’s IM account yesterday when he was in a treatment center for 20-30 seconds, according to Fox News. Could this have been Rogers or Aravosis?
Wild Bill at Passionate America has big news he is reporting at 4:00 PM CST today.
Look for that!


** And, then there is this BOMBSHELL from Clarice...

Dick Morris just said on FOX that a respected reporter told him that she has proof that a senior democrat member of congress knew about the IMs months ago–unlike Hastert.
Also, keep an eye on The Strata-Sphere.
Right Wing Nuthouse is also on the story.
HotAir on "Saving IM Messages 101."

This could get real messy!

One other point-
ABC's Ross made it sound like the IM's came from a "Republican". Mike Rogers calls himself a Republican(?) This would make sense.

World Net Daily is on the story.

If we depend on the MSM to do the work the GOP will be destroyed. We need Bloggers to find out the dirty work behind everything. Foley is guity of being a disgusting sleezebag and should be prosecuted if he's guilty but the Democrats knew about this and sat on it until the 2006 elections.

Sorry, but even if this breaks hard in the blogosphere, the MSM is not going to pick it up.

I'd love that information to come out before the end of this week.

Guess the children were so much fodder in the dems evil schemes. Pathetic but they are complicit in the abuse and there is no way at all to deny that fact.

Fox may do it. They read the blogs and Free Republic. Also Drudge (if he's in the mood) will.

Okay...I read about the very important announcement today at 4:00....when I was doing some reading last night.

Did you go onto the sight that had the "list" of who they are "after"? The blog that you get to, if you punch "shared this information"???

It has as the "US Senator"...Barbara Mikulski....which is different than the Senator that is supposed to be "outed"...most thought it was going to be Graham.

Notice the list also has on it...Matt Drudge....sheesh

Paid for by Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee 430 S Capitol Street, S.E., Washington, D.C. 20003 (202) 863-1500 www.dccc.org

These people ~ they have names ~ there are employees there ~ they have names.

At the moment ALL of them must be held suspect in the commission of a crime.

Best bet is to arrange for an appropriate legal authority to get warrants for their arrest and haul them away to explain themselves.

Don't be so pessimistic. The MSM did pick up on the fake Bush ANG memos. This could be just as big and they might pick up on it. The harder we push it, the more likely they will.

Even if we can't stomach the details of this mess, I think it's important to cheer on and support the folks who can do the research. :-)

I know that you've done that on several other issues. Chin up! Our principles are stronger than their sleeze. :-)

So what? Their timing was exquisite. It hasnt been shown that any crime has been committed by Foley so when does it become the Democrats responsibility to keep a Republican from sinning no more. Foley screwed himself. His knowledge that this stuff was out there is probably why he withdrew from FL Senate race. He should have resigned then. I blame Foley not the Dems. Tell me that we wouldnt have waited til the last minute to dump the dirt on a Dem. There is a reason they call them October Surprises.

Don't confuse the emails with the IMs. That is just another media ploy to smear Hastert.

Rush says the next big "crap-dump" by the libs will be at 3pm EST this Friday....

BTW I am quite disinterested in this story. (disconnected might be a better word)

Why? Think for a moment:

-No sex actually took place

-Openly gay Congressmen are probably ACTUALLY HAVING gay sex daily in their offices right now (paging--hahaha--Barney Frank)

--Pelosi et al knew about this for quite a while

-Foley is no longer in Congress (HELLO, he has RESIGNED)

-This is just another example of the DNC's Culture of Conniption

AND FINALLY a question or two you can ask your lib friends:

-How many poor families are being helped by this story?

-Is harping on this story going to bring our troops home any sooner?

-Is any of this helping the people of New Orleans rebuild their lives?
