Interesting...

Any evidence or discussion as to whether Foley was one of the 900 FBI files? I'm not sure when Foley took office and if the dates might coincide.

thx.

My guess is that Foley was too inconsequential to have bothered... and that there was enough dirt on him in the public domain, in any case...

Richard Brookhiser on Foley:

These kids are thrown into a world in which their bosses are little gods. To Washingtonians, the emphasis is on little. Congressmen are a crowd, vaguely similar and faintly ludicrous, like extras in an opera. Senators, in their armor of ego and clout, are the true Olympians. Yet to ordinary mortals, Congressmen are godlike enough. They pass the laws. If you are a page, they are your bosses. The potential for mischief in that disparity is great.

Brookhiser's failure to see that the Senators differ less in kind than in degree from the 'vaguely similar and faintly ludicrous' Congressmen, suggests the following analogy, (and confirms what we, in this forum, already know):

pages : Congressmen :: media : Senators
