HOLD ON!! Is ABC's account of the initial milder emails to the kid in LA in conflict with what they've said in the past 24 hours about when/how they learned of the more graphic IMs?

I'm going to have to review all the details on many threads because I think I just saw a huge inconsistency in ABC's claims about what they knew and when..... (but there are so many balls in the air I might be the one mixed up). I thought that ABC's VP of something just said that they never saw the really nasty IMs until after they published their article on the emails to the 16-17 yr. old page in Louisiana..... yet THIS article (which seems tob e the first one??) has the quote "sick sick sick sick...." (though there are not nearly as many sicks as appeared in later articles!!).

IIRC, the "sick sick sick 12-13 sicks" came from a comment on the IMs (which were indeed very graphic), and NOT to the original emails to a DIFFERENT page which were pretty mild (how can you say "sick sick sick....." to the initial emails unless you already know there's a lot more graphic stuff behind them? If this thread has the original ABC article about the more innocuous ("overly friendly") but non-explicit emails, didn't ABC just claim today that they never saw the nasty IMs until more pages got in touch with them about the first email article???

The young man forwarded that e-mail to a congressional staffer saying it was "sick sick sick sick sick."

Republican was the source of the emails

So much for blaming that on the Democrats. These folks are so desperate, and each time they search for a way out, it keeps blowing back on them. (The Hill):

The source who in July gave news media Rep. Mark Foley’s (R-Fla.) suspect e-mails to a former House page says the documents came to him from a House GOP aide. That aide has been a registered Republican since becoming eligible to vote, said the source, who showed The Hill public records supporting his claim.

The same source, who acted as an intermediary between the aide-turned-whistleblower and several news outlets, says the person who shared the documents is no longer employed in the House. But the whistleblower was a paid GOP staffer when the documents were first given to the media.

…These revelations mean that Republicans who are calling for probes to discover what Democratic leaders and staff knew about Foley’s improper exchanges with under-age pages will likely be unable to show that the opposition party orchestrated the scandal now roiling the GOP just a month away from the midterm elections.
