On Sunday, reports began circulating about e-mails that Foley sent a year ago to a former 16-year-old congressional page from Louisiana. The e-mails were posted on a blog devoted to exposing sexual predators. How the blog acquired the e-mails is unclear, but the boy had passed them to a congressional staffer last year, calling one of Foley's e-mails "sick, sick, sick, sick."

Congressional staff members who asked not to be identified said it was widely known among Hill staffers and some House leaders that Foley had been engaging in inappropriate conduct and language with young aides.
One highly placed staff member said Foley's abrupt resignation may have been demanded by Republican leaders who have been aware for some time about allegations of inappropriate behavior.
Another Florida congressman, Jeff Miller, who represents a conservative district in the far western Panhandle, said House leaders demanded Foley's resignation after learning there was apparently more to the allegations.
"I understand there are 35 pages of e-mails," Miller said, citing information from members with direct knowledge of the documents. "I do not feel that our leadership would have acted so quickly had they in any way thought there was a chance of this not being true."

Putting aside the vile content and horrid behavior, they've had them for over a year.
Interesting.
