I don't know what info may be reliable or not, but this blogger at "Passionate America" claims to have tracked down the identity of the recipient of the really salacious IMs and claims the guy was 18 y.o. then and is now 21 y.o.
People have pointed out that the age of consent in D.C. is only 16 y.o. anyway, but if any of the correspondence was carried on outside of D.C. then it may be highly relevant if the recipient was in fact 18 y.o.
Again, I have no idea whether his info is really accurate or not, or if he is really justified in revealing the guy's identity, but since this has become a big political scandal with careers being wrecked, possible criminal investigations, etc. it certainly is relevant to know if the recipient was 18 y.o. at the time.
Foley is still a scumbag trolling young males less than 1/2 his age, but it's quite a different matter before the law and before Congress if the IM recipient was NOT a current page and was NOT under 18 y.o.
Anyway, what was Hastert supposed to do, demand to review all of the personal correspondence of a member of Congress?
Hell, the Demagogues won't allow that even for known terrorists, but now they want to treat a member of Congress as though he has zero right to privacy..... interesting.
As I've said, Foley is still scum, but this may come back to bite the MSM and the Demagogues big-time.
Thanks but claiming isn't proof. I am not saying anyone is right or wrong. I just want to know the facts.
