Pelosi: Former FBI Director Wrong Man To Lead Page Program Investigation

(AP) House Speaker Dennis Hastert said Thursday he is looking for a high-caliber figure to step in and fix flaws in the congressional page program that left the teenagers vulnerable to sexual advances.

Hastert was on the verge of naming former FBI Director Louis Freeh, who boasts a long, high-profile career in law enforcement, for the post. But the speaker held off because of objections from Democrats.

Hastert had called House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday to notify her that he intended to hire Freeh to overhaul the program, their aides said. But Pelosi suggested it was too soon to make decisions about changing the program, and that Freeh might be the wrong man for the job.

“That's about public relations for the Republican leaders, it's not about protecting the children,” Pelosi, D-Calif., said in an interview with The Associated Press. “It smacks of 'blame the victim.'"

Translation: We want the GOP to look like they're doing nothing until after the election.

Yeah. As if San Fran Nan actually cares about "the children." Correct me if I'm wrong, but she's in favor of allowing two homosexuals to buy a child (gay "adoption"), and the homo-ification of the Boy Scouts, right?

If Hastert and the GOP knuckle under to Pelosi on this, they deserve to lose the House (though I hope America doesn't deserve that tragedy).

The obvious reason Pelosi doesn't want this investigation to go through is that she's covering up the Democrats' sitting on the salacious emails until October 2006, leaving the pages at risk.

What is Pelosi trying to hide if she doesn't want the FBI involved? Smells as bad as her face lift looks... I keep saying this stinks to high heaven of having dem hands all over it, now that they don't want the FBI involved in it, it just confirms my suspicions.

Exactly.

So what is the status of this? Is Hastert's press conference announcement just to be flushed down the toilet, because pretty Nancy doesn't like it?

If so, then Hastert must be a dolt.

Hastert is no Dolt. I'm sure he knows 2-3 steps ahead where this is going.

Who gives a damn what Nancy thinks???

Get Louie in there and let him go to work!

Seems Nancy wants to make sure the only acceptable investigator is one who would outlaw Republicans.

Do you mean that you know he is going to go forward with the independent investigation?

I think we haven't seen the crux of this story. I believe he wanted Pelosi's comment not wanting the FBI to be on record.. just as we've seen in the past few days, a lot of new stuff is coming out and it isn't pretty for the Dems..

Don't fall into the trap the dems are trying to make this which is it is about Hastert. That is nothing but obfuscation.
