The scoop is dead meat. I really wish that blogger who "broke" this had used more caution. The real scoop is that the page was under 18 for part of the IM exchanges.
Oh, spare me. The scoop is that the SO-CALLED ILLEGAL IM conversations didn't happen until after the "kid" was 18 which means they weren't illegal. Nothing in that message you quoted is illegal. A little creepy? Yes, but no one has said that the guy wasn't creepy. Not a single person on this thread. What we are saying is that ABC lied about the possibly illegal sex chat being with an underage person. The "kid" was 18 when they really got into the down and dirty.
In other words, the scoop is far from "dead meat" as you labeled it.
The scoop is that ABC played up sex talk while waiting to vote and alluded to the former page was a minor. ABC intentionally hid this fact, so they lied about the whole facts of the case. Yes he IM him as a 17 year old with overly friendly (creepy) message(s), however, that has not been the uproar. The sex talk was and ABC and the donks flamed this. There will be significant blowback on the mnow.
What an odd exchange.
Foley knows where the legal boundaries are, and the man made a point of mentioning his age.
How weird.
Wonder how much the young man wanted from Foley to keep this a secret.
The REAL scoop is that ABC, possibly at the behest of some political action group, misrepresented the IMs it had, and, deliberately or not, misled its viewers as to what Foley was saying to this person and when.
Foley's character is not the issue any more. It is the MSM's willingness to obfuscate facts in order to influence an election (again).
He may have been under 18, but nothing was planned till after he turned 18. Thats what's important.
I actually thought I heard someone say in DC the age was 16?
Odd. What would the kid be doing that is illegal? This smells.

And that clarifies what? What you posted has no talk of sex.
