For what crime?

Attempting to influence a federal election, for starters.

Odd how this explanation pops up only after a high-priced attorney is hired.

Very interesting point. I wonder just who's paying for this kid's lawyer anyway?

"Why did he save them for three years, how did they end up in the hands of a Dem operative and why did hire a top defense attorney? All questions inquring minds would like to know."

His lying gay A$$ should be fired immediately from his current job.

Maybe Foley, Hasert and others smeared by this lying gay POS should take him into civil court to sue him and any rat congressit involved and George $oreA$$ if he was involved.

I had always assumed ABC had found the people who WROTE the IMs, and verified their accuracy.

You mean the way CBS verified the Rather memo about Bush?

Why would Foley have used such an obvious IM User Name to send lurid messages? That does not make sense.

As i'm sure you know... the former page hired Stephen Jones of McVeigh fame and of slam Brownie after Katrina fame. Said to have Pelosi ties... I guess they 'had' to say it was a prank. /s

I think you've nailed it..... If the latest on Drudge proves correct (who knows??), Edmund may have been just yanking Foley's chain to get him to type embarrassing stuff..... though that's not exactly a "prank" in my definition if Foley was actually writing the IMs and actually thought he was corresponding with another gay man then the IMs are "real" and not made up by Edmund and pals, though apparently Edmund may not have had any homosexual intent, just a cruel way to toy with Foley.....

[DRUDGE]:"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 reports that the former page is not a homosexual. The prank scenario was confirmed by a second associate of Edmund.

I peeked. They are questioning it was a prank for "11 years"?

Don't you get it? he actually did type those messages - but it was a prank by the pages. they lured him into it. so he resigned because he actually did it.

Prank my a**. That's how they're going to try to spin it for now. I think it was more insidious than just a prank. I can't wait to hear how those mysterious enemy political operatives managed to get a hold of those IM's.
