I predict one or more computers will be subpoenaed by the FBI
I certainly hope so and the sooner the better!
Yeppers...they will do a "Jefferson" on Foley's office..and maybe even Istook's, or wherever this Fordham's computer was.
I thought the politicos frowned on turning over anything from a congress critters office. Will they fight this subpoena?
Besides Foley two names that have come into play are Rogers and John Aravosis of Americas Blog. Both are gay activists who on many occassions have threatened not only Foley and Fordham with outing, but others as well. These guys are what we call Political Thugs, the only thing they dont use is guns, but they do nearly as much damage. Others call it by its real name - blackmail.
Again, the FBI - and I have this on good source - are aware of both individuals and looking into their involvement as well. As I said before we cops arent so stupid as to just look at an IM log or an email and say, Oh look at that?, case closed!
You have to prove that they originated on a specific computer, from a specific individual. If they werent they you have to find out who did create them. In any case are evidence, and as such if they were, as is apparent at this point, withheld from authorities for five months, one year or twenty five minutes, thats breaking the law and such individuals could be charged for that.
