For all those calling for the heads of Hastert and Boehner, this is an important distinction. Are THESE the e-mails that the leaders knew about? If so, these pages were no longer their responsibility, AND they were past the age of consent, so there was nothing, legally, that the House leaders could do.
When Foley started contacting younger kids, especially those still in the program, THAT'S when it became Hastert's responsibility, and I'm glad he forced Foley out. Foley's a creep, and from what I read in this article, all the pages KNEW it.
They ONLY knew about the emails NOT THE TEXT MESSAGES which is where Foley crossed the line. As usual, LIBERAL RATS are trying to confuse the two.
