I didn't read all the posts here so sorry if I repeat someone...But, I don't think Foley would have resigned, had his lawyer come out and talk about former abuse, or admit that he had problems with alcohol if he didn't think there were more accusers out there. He might have resigned but why talk about alcohol problems and abuse problems? Foley may get away with this kid being 18 but I am guessing that he knows that there are others out there who were younger and could point the finger at him. There may also be some really perv stuff that he knows about and is afraid will come out.
It is my understanding that Speaker Hastert told him to take a hike.....................
