Which we don't have. There is zero evidence of physical acts. In fact, the instant messages have Foley specifically saying to one alleged page it was only "fantasy" and nothing would happen. Even the "warning" has been retracted by the former page who allegedly claimed one had been given regarding Foley.
These were not young "boys." According to Drudge's radio show last night, in D.C. sixteen is the legal age for sex. Sixteen is also the minimum age required for congressional pages. The explicit IMs were with one (or more) *former* pages.
There's NO evidence of a cover-up. The GOP knew of the benign, overly friendly, email and *not* the instant messages.
The MSM have people believing the Republicans covered up a homosexual pedophile's predatory activities involving underage boys just to try to keep a congressional seat in the upcoming election. That's RAT B.S. talking points.
Ignored? Past page scandals. Rep. Gerry Studds, a Massachusetts Democrat, was censured after admitting he had a consensual homosexual relationship with a 17-yr-old page. He eventually retired in 1996. Rep. Dan Crane, an Illinois Republican was censured after admitting he had a consensual heterosexual relationship with 17-yr-old page and was defeated in 1984.
Clinton PARDON of convicted Congressman Mel Reynolds who (among financial crimes and child porn charges) had sex with a 16-yr-old female volunteer. Reynolds has gone on to work for Jesse Jackson's Rainbow/PUSH. (Snopes)
Oh great,now Republicans are going for moral equivalency. Damn things are getting bad around here.
