FBI Knew in July About Foley E-Mails to Teen, but not the more explicit IM's.

The media sure likes to blur the two and make people think they are the same

According to Drudge, ABC Brian Ross had the "emails" since August, but Ross was "too busy" with Katrina, and 9-11 stories to write about it then. There is no link on Drudge, just the statement, so I don't know if they were the e-mails, or the IM's they had in August, but either way it proves Hasterts point.

1. If it was just the original email, ABC didn't seem to concerned to pursue it. But....

2. If it was the IM's, I don't think there is any excuse for keeping them for over a month, unless Brian Ross thought they would be most effective politically to wait.
