You're conflating two different issues: factual innocence and legal innocence.

Factually, I have no doubt that Foley is guilty: he's practically said so himself. As a non-lawyer, I can't speak about the legal aspects -- upon which you may well be right -- but from purely a factual standpoint it's clear the man is guilty.

It looked like dialogue from a VH1 reality show.

"Curious. How do we KNOW this is accurate? How do you record Instant Messages?"

On my companies IM system you can save the conversation to a file. If that was what happened it sounds like someone was preparing for a setup.

"Looks like Foley has a good shot at a Liable suit against ABC if this isn't true."

If Foley wasn't guilty he wouldn't have stepped down.

More plausable to me is that the kid was just role playing, stringing him along to see how far Foley would go with it. As I mentioned earlier, I bet this kid told his friends about it and they all egged him on, It was the cruel joke of the year to play on someone.

An adult man who holds one of the most powerful posts in the country is allegedly preying on 16-year-old kids in his and his colleagues' emply, and you're criticizing the kid for playing a "cruel joke?"

Please, if the kid's evidence leads to prosecution of a child predator, the kid isn't cruel -- he's a hero. The left thinks Linda Tripp was cruel for leading on Monica, too, but we know better.

Your BARF ALERT wasn't large enough.

This Foley is a seriously aberrant human being. How many are there like him on BOTH sides of the aisle in Congress?

And what a dimwit. He represents Florida and doesn't know how to spell Pensacola??

How do these dimwit perverts get elected?

I'm glad he has been found out and thrown out.

Mothers, don't let your babies grow up to be Congressional pages!

>>>If Foley wasn't guilty he wouldn't have stepped down.<<<

Exactly. And if he wasn't guilty, he wouldn't have run off to hide out in rehab. Just like the Kennedy kid.

In the law, this is called "consciousness of guilt".

Foley ruined Foley's career. He's a scummy degenerate pedophile.

The only thing that can be tied to him is completely innocent. It's ridiculous that he's stepping down over this. The media is just making a big deal over nothing.

BWAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....you're delusional. Him immediatly resigning says all that needs to be said about his guilt. And YES, there is a very easy way to save text messages/IMs. In most cases, they are saved automatically in a file. I know yahoo IM does this.

Beyond that, all of the big IM programs, Yahoo, AOHell, ETC, in fact, I would think that all of them in general are all hosted on servers which ALSO record each and every message by each user name.

It's probably all archived somewhere and it's only a matter of digging them up.

It happens all the time in sting ops to get these perverts.

Ah, but what if the person behind that screen name isn't Foley? Hmm?

It's VERY possible that he was set up, after a few harmless emails that might have been read in the wrong way.

My G-d, besides being grossed out by Foley...it's scary to think this

I want to know why Barney Frank is still in office

Because the dems would never insist that he leave office.

My head's not in the sand, I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this. There are a lot of very suspicious parts to this story. I'm surprised how many of you are quick to judge Foley.
