Attorney identifies Oklahoman referred to in Foley case By World Capitol Buerau 10/5/2006 9:30:00 AM
Enid attorney Stephen Jones confirmed Thursday that he is representing Jordan Edmund, 21, a U.S. House page who is now working in the gubernatorial campaign of U.S. Rep. Ernest Istook.
The attorney would not say whether Edmund may be involved in the scandal regarding former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley.
But Jones said, "It is my understanding there is both a Justice Department interest in this matter and also the House of Representatives Ethics Committee is interested.
"My feeling is that the House will move forward with its investigation. Since Mr. Foley is no longer a member of the House, I don't know whether the (House) Ethics committee will ultimately end up looking at this, or whether the committee in charge of the program will do so."
Istook issued a statement to the media Wednesday night saying, "It came as a compete surprise to learn (Wednesday) morning that one victim may be someone I know."
Istook did not identify the identify the "victim."
LOL, Stephen Jones, we already knew you were representing him, last night.
"Spent time in Berkeley CA"? Did they make participating in non-traditional sex mandatory in Berkeley?
That's true, but notice the headline that Tim McVeigh lawyer(Stephen Jones) is now representing an actual California native, Jordan Edmund, in this foley matter.
1. How and why does someone save an IM? Emails are automatic, Im's are difficult to save.
2. Why did Fordham quit/leave Foleys office?
3. How does a 21 year old get to be a deputy campaign directer?

Didn't have too.

Yes, a very good point.
The same way you get to be a state's Homeland Security director, I suspect. Certain skills are more valuable than others...
I smell a blackmail attempt.

CLAIM: FILTHY FOLEY ONLINE MESSAGES WERE PAGE PRANK GONE AWRY
**World Exclusive**
**Must Credit the DRUDGE REPORT**
According to two people close to former congressional page Jordan Edmund, the now famous lurid AOL Instant Message exchanges that led to the resignation of Mark Foley were part of an online prank that by mistake got into the hands of enemy political operatives, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.
According to one Oklahoma source who knows the former page very well, Edmund, a conservative Republican, goaded Foley to type embarrassing comments that were then shared with a small group of young Hill politicos. The prank went awry when the saved IM sessions got into the hands of political operatives favorable to Democrats. This source, an ally of Edmund, also adamantly proclaims that the former page is not a homosexual. The prank scenario was confirmed by a second associate of Edmund.
The news come on the heels that former FBI Chief Louis Freeh has been named to investigate the mess.
