"Now the question is, since Foley broke the law, then why wasn't it reported at once by those who did know? And who are they? To sit on something like this for political gain is despicable behavior, and illegal."
Agree completely. Do we have any info on who reported? Foley adversary? Republican adversary? The Dems knew...and they knew more than the Republicans knew. That much seems obvious.
I haven't seen any real Dem names yet, and the MSM doesn't seem to care about that part.
My guess it was somebody too stupid to let Foley sink alone ( which he should have ). The Dem party is full of them so that doesn't narrow it down any.
Foley resigned..... Immediately. Would you do that if you were innocent of these charges? Regardless of which party ANY elected person holding office belongs to, don't the voters have a right to expect that person to have SOME moral dignity?
The Dems will have their fun hurling rocks at the entire GOP over this. Let them. They live in glass houses.
Perhaps, but if that is the case, why didn't the Republican leadership come out with this much earlier so as not to allow the Dims to do it so close to election time? Shows even more incompetence on the part of the GOP leadership than might normally be expected.

What Foley did was reprehensible, but is there any law that he broke? Interestingly, my initial research says the age of consent in DC is 16. Wasn't this (and all pages) at least 16? There was no sexual contact, as far as I know. Any information to the contrary?
I still think Foley stinks and was right to resign. Of course, the Dems should have no voice in this matter, having condoned Barney Frank, Gerry Studds, Clinton, etc. etc.
