Well they need to be investigated then. The Speaker's office has put out a HOTLINE phone number for people to call if they have information about other pages.
ABC is withholding information from a Federal investigation.

Foley's still the bad guy, here. Now we have the young guys as additional bad guys.Well then, the Democratic operatives and their MSM mouthpieces who exploited this prank gone bad are pure unalloyed evil.
To: kcvl
Everybody here needs to put their activists hats on and make ABC pay for this just like the CBS rathergate issue. Email Producers, sponsors everything... Congress is already going to investigate so the facts will be known but if the Lame Stream Media attempted to sway another election they have got to go down.

Yes, I misread the story.
To: BigSkyFreeper; SE Mom; Howlin
Then I suggest you scope out #1130....and tell her to stop hijacking the thread....She pinged 'all' in a response to Howlin...well before you started your hissy fit.
I don't agree with you at all. And netiquette has nothing to do with it.

This thread is getting like those late Friday evening Evo/Creo threads ~ thousands of posts, no agreement, but thousands of posts.
To: Howlin
What we need to make loud and clear, is that if this Jordan is the only ex page that got any IM's, and if he initiated them after he was a page, then the Republican leadership could not have known that he was some internet stalker. What he does was disgusting, and I am glad he resigned, but as far as we can tell, there are NO other IM's from after this time period 3-4 years ago.
All these federal investigations into "keeping our children safe" could be for naught, there may have never been a danger to our children!
I will be watching to see how these got into ABC's hands, who had them, why, if they thought they were legit, did they hold onto them for three years. But our number #1 question should be, did ABC know the identity of the page (and since a blogger found it, they should have also) and Jordan tell them it was a hoax? If he did, and they didn't report that part of it, that is a huge story IMO.

Unless, of course, the laywer has other loyalties. The question is, who is paying the big name lawyer's big time retainer?
To: Kieri
Time will tell on this one. This is true. Given the average attention span of the American voter, the election is still an eternity away. Anything can still happen between now and then.
To: valkyrieanne
" I haven't checked ABC's website recently "
They have an interesting story posted - " Foley Could Avoid Criminal Charges in Underage Congressional Page Probe "
According to the various lawyers they interviewed , if it's just the IMs that are presently known - Foley hasn't done anything illegal.
ABC is still calling them underage pages.
"...I haven't seen anything no specific action where Foley specifically solicited anyone to commit unlawful acts," said California-based defense lawyer Steve Cron.
"It sounded more like it was childish teasing, titillating communication that was meant to excite and entertain."
To: Gone GF
If somebody comes on to you as a prank, but then you flirt back and ask them if they want to give you a sponge bath, would it really matter to your significant other that the original flirting directed toward you was a prank?
To: Constitution Day; Lurking Libertarian
He checked into where? Rehab
Could have been he was so bad off ...he thought he could have, but didn't...know for sure either way...?

I don't think he would have gone to Berkley if he were a republican. Some of the best Republican activists I know went to Berkley. That theory is a nonstarter.

"Prank doesn't end up in Dem operatives hands."
I have to disagree. Considering that these are congressional pages, it would be amazing if the messages HADN'T gotten into Democratic hands.

"What does that egghead appearing on FOX News have to do with Foleygate?"
Actually, Neil did get Soros to respond to the Hastert assertion that Soros funding has supported 'Rat operatives who have manipulated this thing. Unfortunately, Neil let Soros slither away with a bland denial that HE (Soros) hadn't known anything about it..... no one thought he did, the question is what 'Rat and operatives FUNDED by Soros have manipulated this thing....

Drudge knows how to get everyone here excited. Still, the story could very well be accurate.
To: ShandaLear
He can't even be accused of that since the kid seemed to be a willing participant - over and over again.

This kid is sicker than Foley. No. Admittedly it is sick for teenagers to play this kind of prank on a middle-aged homosexual. However, it is much worse for an adult man to show a sexual interest in a child.
Granted, it appears that the "kid" was over 18 when the nasty IMs were sent, but Foley didn't know that.
