Get Your Lawyers Foleygate Scandal About to Bust Open (Gateway Pundit doing good detective work!)
Gateway Pundit ^ | 10/4/06

Posted on 10/04/2006 7:15:47 AM PDT by areafiftyone

** THIS STORY IS ABOUT TO BUST OPEN! **

What we know now...

Radical Gay Rights Activists held on to information about Representative Foley for months and years. These "Rights Activists" knew that representative Foley had relationships with "young men less than half his age." They did their own investigation on Foley. They even flew in their sources in to be interviewed about the Representative. They shared this information with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. They held on to the information for over a year. They wrote about how they would break the story at midterm elections.

These you must read to catch up on the story...

MacsMind - Foleygate Part V

QandO Blog now has evidence that John Aravosis (the radical gay activist from AmericaBlog- "He deserves to be publicly excoriated." 7-2004) had copies of the emails "months ago!"

This is important from Macsmind-

"However, I do know that the specific focus of the FBI at this point is to determine who knew about Foley’s activities, when they knew it and specifically who withheld evidence in what may be a Federal Crime. Yet like in many investigations, there is sometimes the uncovering of other crimes that takes place. It should be said at this point that the attempt to extort or influence, or threaten a US congressman, in order to influence legislation, or an election is a Federal Crime, and if in fact principals were involved in such an orchestrated plan it will be discovered."

Again, I must point out that even as a constituant of former respresentitive Foley, I detest his actions, and do not condone and accept them in anyway. In fact I support his prosecution if applicable laws have been broken. But again, those who particpated before the fact in the “outing” of Foley, seem to have had at this point specific knowledge of his activities and if proven at the least are guilty of conspriracy to withhold evidence, and obstruction of justice.
Sweetness and Light reported on the Mike Rogers connection on Sunday:

Well the good news is that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is finally getting it. I called their Director of Communications, Bill Burton, before the Foley story broke to let him know about Foley (and another case) were coming down the pike. While Burton promised to have someone email or return my call and didn't, I am glad he followed up on my call and was ready on Friday to come out of the gate running.

The bad new is they are still not paying enough attention... There are others within reach... If the Democrats would only fight half as hard as the Republicans.
Thomas Lifson at The American Thinker has more.

According to Lifson, Aravosis (one of the known liberals outing gay congress people) said he obtained the latest information about the five-term congressman from Foley’s former chief of staff, Kirk Fordham.

QUESTION - Did Fordham have acccess to Foley’s IM account information, screen name and password? Very likely. Could he have passed this information onto Aravosis and Rogers? Very possible. Could some of the IMs been manufactured then by Rogers or Aravosis, those being reported by ABC. Probable.

We know someone logged onto Foley’s IM account yesterday when he was in a treatment center for 20-30 seconds, according to Fox News. Could this have been Rogers or Aravosis?
Wild Bill at Passionate America has big news he is reporting at 4:00 PM CST today.
Look for that!


** And, then there is this BOMBSHELL from Clarice...

Dick Morris just said on FOX that a respected reporter told him that she has proof that a senior democrat member of congress knew about the IMs months ago–unlike Hastert.
Also, keep an eye on The Strata-Sphere.
Right Wing Nuthouse is also on the story.
HotAir on "Saving IM Messages 101."

This could get real messy!

One other point-
ABC's Ross made it sound like the IM's came from a "Republican". Mike Rogers calls himself a Republican(?) This would make sense.

World Net Daily is on the story.

Are these the same scum that were involved in the threatened "outing" of Brit Hume's son, for the one time college liason?

I do want to know WHO kept those Instant Messages for that many years.....

Also, why was the "Over Friendly" E-mail AFTER the sex-filled Instant Messages??? Was it two different boys?? It would make NO sense if it was the Same Boy.

I think there are several young men involved. By definition, they come from politically connected families. They are not strangers to the DC political games.

I don't defend Foley at all, but this sings to me of being a sting. With more to come...

Maybe...but just wait October has surprises coming from the right/Repulicans/DOJ...and these are authentic NOT with partial truths as this on Foley. The dimwits in congress are very very nervous.

I hope the gays go full-bear on this scandal. Then anytime a homo candidate runs for office, we are free to use the fear of pedophilia against them in primaries and general elections, using their own fudgepacking colleagues' words against them.

BBC pushing the left side of the story:

Fresh claims fuel US e-mail row

Mr Foley's lawyer said the former Congressman denied ever having sexual contact with a minor and had checked into a rehabilitation clinic to be treated for alcoholism.

Mr Foley's lawyer says his client has declared he is gay and was abused at a church in his early teens.

If you know crimes are being committed and you do nothing about it, you're guilty. Some of these parents should sue Foley AND these political creeps.

Sorry, but even if this breaks hard in the blogosphere, the MSM is not going to pick it up.

But talk radio will......

Tony Snow might help enlighten as well when questions come up on shouldn't the Speaker resign. Also President Bush has a podium and he should use it as well. Let the light shine in.

This whole thing just reinforces my beliefs. Always vote Republican because you can count on the media to expose any corruption AND the GOP will do something about it. If this had been about a Democrat... we wouldn't have heard a thing. Media blackout.

This formula ALWAYS works. Vote republican, so the media will do their job. (they'll even create stories to diminish republicans... but it serves to make republicans more honest)

How does going after Hastert help to feed a hungry child?

Found a blog that claims to have the name of the page. Please do not post it on the web ( especially here ) as it isn't verified yet.

The blogger was going to post at 4:00 PM CT but put it up early. He removed the early article but the name is still there under comments.
