I mentioned on an earlier thread that I had not followed this from the beginning. I get the impression that the Republicans thought the matter had been taken care of. I asked if the Dems knew about this and covered it up long enough to use it as a political campaign issue. Can anyone clue me in?

Can anyone clue me in?

Perhaps someone will be able to here at FR. I'm just getting the details of all this myself.

What is the big deal? We are talking about Instant Messages. Which were mysteriously kept, and THAT IS ALL. There have been no allegations of Foley doing anything, no bodies mysteriously dieing or disappearing. Not even a dead women in a car in the water.

This is getting more press play than the LEAKS of secret information to the NY Slimes, or the KILLINGS, RAPES, AND CRIME OF ILLEGAL ALIENS.

If anything we should be outraged at the press for pushing matters that are worthless in the long run, and ignoring matters that will get us killed or destroyed as a culture.

I believe this issue is still under scrutiny. It appears that
this story was held back for close to a year. If the knowing
accomplices did this are they to blame for perpetuating
the situatuion?

In this case the MSM/democrat party could be
red faced on this issue. However that applies
to those who would feel any shame.

Up to date is that the GOP leadership knew about the emails and saw a potential problem. They talked to Foley and thought it was finished. At that time, nothing illegal had happened that the GOP could know about.

Now the ABC News report about Foley's IM's shows up, and there is no indication that anyone else in the GOP knew anything about them. 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.

[what's up]

You are correct. All the Repubs had to go on were a few "over-friendly" email that had NO lewd content. They confronted Foley to stop sending the overfriendly photos after the family requested it and Foley stopped.

Repubs thought the issue was over. Until some IMM's came to light a few days ago and were sent to the MSM. GOP leadership had not been aware of these lewd IMM messages; as soon as Hastert became aware of them he called for a criminal investigation of Foley.

Now who sent these IMM message to the media and why now just in time for an "October surprise"? Hastert DID NOT KNOW of these yet the conservatives are calling for his head, just as the lefties planned.

[Just mythoughts]

Somebody has known something for at least 3 years that is how old these magically appearing IMs are.

Somebody was either on IM with Foley and saved them, Foley saved them and passed them around, or the kid did. Outside of that it is totally possible that someone had access to Foley's computer without his knowledge and spied on his computer communications. None of these actions fit a profile of the House leadership.

There is no doubt the Dims are using it as a political campaign issue, but they are not upset about the IM's they are attempting to destroy our confidence in the House leadership by diverting the whole sordid mess as something the House leadership covered up.

I have not ready anything yet that identifies how the IM's were captured nor who it was that decided to use them as campaign finance 2006 for retaking the House for liberals.

Everything I've been reading that's exactly what they did.
