Political Wire ^ | 10/3/06

More Scandals to Come?

Last night, ABC News investigative journalist Brian Ross suggested "there may be other members of Congress who engaged in inappropriate behavior towards congressional pages."

Said Ross, "We’re hearing quite a bit from former pages. They’re sending us all sorts of messages about possible other members."

I'm thinking Rove tossed Foley to the sharks as chum....the fallout could well be the surprise?

I certainly hope so. It could be earth shattering :)

We can hope that our own 'Opposition Research' has been busy. I have considered that the alcoholic rehab that Foley has entered may be a safe house for him. And while he is protected there he can be revealing all he knows to his legal team and to the Republican reps as well. In crasser terms, Foley may be spilling his guts to the determent of the RATS.

Unfortunately Bill Clinton actually set the example by the way Congress handled his situation. Clintons perjury and Monica have much more to do with the shape of this country today than most realize. Congress has always taken care of its own and that is the reason America is in such a mess.We have convicted felons in Congress,sex addicts,drug abusers and everything else and I would like to know how the hell they can point their finger at anybody. If what we have in politics are leaders they are leading us straight into oblivion.

Why would anyone, and it is now apparent more than one, person makes a conscious effort to save personally very embarassing instant messages, making a permanent record of them, after leading on the congressman?
I'm not defending anyone here, but I find that bizaar.
How many instant messages per day will leak to ABC until the elections?

The IMs are the equivalent of a royal blue dress. People save info as CYA moves.

Suggest the FBI checks bank accounts of these young people. Wonder if and how much Soros paid them? If so would that bring a charge of Pandering? Also sounds like a James Carville type of scheme.

I will wager that NO DEMOCRAT will be exposed even if one or more happen to be on the "LIST".

Geesh they could have told the pervert to get lost.

This was an ex-page. He could have just blocked Foleys instant messages. That would have been the end of it. Foleys messages would have never again crossed his computer screen.
But.....he didn't. He encouraged them and even saved them. This makes the whole story smell fishier than Hillary Clinton.

Maybe the IM's were not really pages but party operatives, using the pages' id's. Could be a very elaborate sting/trap. Remember the cell call monitoring that just "happened to pick up" GOP calls?

To the extent pages or ex-pages coming forward are motivated politically, they will probably hit Pubbies harder.

BIZARRE is RIGHT! Why would this page let everyone know that he was conversing with a pedofile congresscritter and NOT telling him to GET LOST! Why would he want to expose himself? He must have been paid a good sum of money. From what I've been reading he's enjoying the conversation and didn't complain about it.
