What puzzles me is that 10-11 months went by after Foley was warned to have no contact with the page. If the boy was still receiving e-mails, especially the obscene ones reported in the news, why did he not report them either to the authorities or his parents?
Something smells. Either the boy and his parents knew of these more explicit e-mails much earlier and chose to neither say nor do anything for months or they did make a fuss to the House authorities who decided to cover it up.
As I cannnot fathom either scenario, I suspect that the parents must have approached a third party, perhaps the press, who advised them to remain silent, keep track of them and bide their time.
"Either the boy and his parents knew of these more explicit e-mails much earlier and chose to neither say nor do anything for months or they did make a fuss to the House authorities who decided to cover it up."
Or the boy knew about continued emails but the parents only found out later.
The e-mails were not sexually explicit, creepy yes, but not sexually explicit.
The IM's to another page were sexually explicit. The page who worked for Alexander did not receive sexually explicit e-mails or IM's.
Hastert and the leadership had no knowledge of the IM's.
Could the IM's have been to a different boy?
You can't fathom the details so you'll make some up?
I have been saying this repeatedly for 24 hours now. ABC News knew about this for as long as Alexander did...but unlike Hastert, ABC News HAD the explicit transcripts. ABC NEWS PURPOSELY SAT ON THIS UNTIL IT WAS LATE ENOUGH TO WREAK HAVOC IN FOLEY'S DISTRICT. That is the real "coverup" here.
There are no reports of the emails continuing
The recent reports and the reason Foley resigned was due to IM's from 2003 to a different person
Those were not known about until this week
