First, you've got to follow the money. How did 21 year old Edmunds get to become the Deputy Campaign Manager (Finance Director!) for Istook's gubernatorial campaign?
Then you've got to look at the players. Istook owes Foley. Foley was on the hook for IM's to Edmunds.
Now Edmunds hires a criminal **defense** attorney, not a trial lawyer.
Put 1+2+3 together and you arrive at: Edmunds blackmailed Foley to get Istook's Deputy Campaign Director job.
Edmunds is a major political activist. He's no babe in the woods.
And in following the money, wouldn't it be fascinating to know who plunked down the retainer for Edmunds' high profile attorney?
If Edmonds got what he wanted, why release the IM's? I think there is more involved than a $30,000 job.
I have to admit, I've been scratching my head over that one, all evening.

Cunningham sponsored Edmunds as a page.
I was shocked to find out he was only 21, because he acts much older.
That's spelling it out perfectly.

Great job of connecting the dots! Many thanks for directing me to your post.This entire "thing" smells to high heaven and as much as Soros and the Dems want to somehow appear above the fray, they're pulling a WELLSTONE'S FUNERAL; so the smear campaign is going to tarnish them at least as much, if not far more, than it has the perv Foley.
