I just saw where ABC is claiming that 3 Pages, who won't give names and are giving "verbal accounts", offering no documentation of physical evidence, were approached by Foley.
After looking at the ABC article, it looks like ABC is in panic mode since the Drudge Report broke the story that friends of one of the Page's who was an IM recipient said it was actually a joke and the IM's fell INTO THE HANDS OF DEMOCRAT OPERATIVES ON THE HILL! It is obvious that Democrats and ABC (as well as Joe Scarborough who is just dying to poke a stick at Republicans because they found him a fraud) are trying one last ditch effort to keep the fire on the GOP. The problem is, their latest revelation comes from a tip that has not and, most likely, can not be confirmed.
ABC has no way to confirm a "verbal account" of IM's or e-mails unless they have documentation of such!
But the biggest indicator that the latest revelation may be a last ditch effort by Democrat operatives and ABC to keep the heat on is in the final 2 paragraphs from Brian Ross' page.
-An online story on the Drudge Report Thursday claimed one set of the sexually explicit instant messages obtained by ABC News was part of a "prank" on the part of the former page, who reportedly says he goaded the congressman into writing the messages.
"This was no prank," said one of the three former pages who talked to ABC News today about his experience with the congressman.-
How good for ABC and the DEMOCRATS, that right after a story is broken that shows that Dems and their liberal media allies were actually the ones who knew about the disgusting acts of Foley and that they sat on them for political gain instead of going to the authorities, that suddenly they find 3 more Page's who do NOT have to reveal their names and have no evidence to back up claims.
Foleygate, I wish I could quit you..
I don't see any proof that any of this happened. All we have is that Foley resigned and he didn't say why. The rest of it is hearsay and based on untrustworthy sources. This is a cluster fk.
As it relates to Republicans, ABC doesn't care about the "nature of the evidence" -- only the "seriousness of the charges".
--Matthew 17:17
I agree, and Foley could have just quit out of embarrassment because of being "outed" "ungayed" or whatever
Agreed; I just think the head-spinning at every twist is entertaining.
It's been entertaining for sure. Its also been a bad habit by the House leadership. They all went into finger point crisis mode...when they had no reason to.
Boehner is the worst. He has been trying to keep heat off of him...WHY? HE WAS NOT EVEN MAJORITY LEADER WHEN THE IM's WERE REPORTED TO HAPPEN!
There is a light at the end of the tunnel for the Democrats and ABC and it is a train labeled F.B.I
Hannity definitely not signing onto prank angle yet and G. Gordon Liddy (a panelist on H&C) against Republicans, stating they deserve to have base stay home, mainly for fiscal reasons and he is disappointed Republican loss will be attributed to sex scandal and not to liberal agenda of Congress.
LOL
I agree-this is a mess and I am waiting for some concrete information to come out. We all know how the MSM and Dims are in it together, etc.
"Just Exposed"????
These a$$holes are as transparent as a gas station condom.
Give me a frigging break!!!
Brokeback Scandal.
Interesting question.
Dang..that's funny...and Foley like.
All they have is "Verbal bullshit" the only documented stuff they had was phoney.
THIS might interest you, too.....
