Somehow I doubt there will be any showdown.

I still don't know what the "sexual misconduct" was. All I've heard about is homosexual relations between consenting adults. Not only is this not illegal it is highly approved of by Democrats and, apparently, many Republicans.
Bump -- who will bump this to the top until morning??
O-tay, but shouldn't that have been enough to allow them to subpoena the originals?
Why is this HUGH story remaining so hidden?
One of the stories going around Democrat Party circles is that party operatives like Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and American Family Voices weren't quite ready for primetime with the opposition research materials they had gathered for the 2006 election cycle. ....

According to the Prowler another group called "American Family Voices" aka AFV is involved in this in some way. Unfortunatley the article was not clear on how they come in.
Interesting group... its president is a guy named Michael Lux... the group is connected to Hillary's crawdad headsucker James Carville.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my miscellaneous ping list.
Here is press release from CREW to the media:

"CREW Urges DOJ I.G. to Probe Why FBI Failed to Investigate Foley Emails Sent by CREW This Summer
FBI Lied to Reporters
By: Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW)
Published: Oct 5, 2006 at 09:14
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) wrote to the Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General's (I.G.) office today to ask for an investigation into why the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has fabricated and disseminated a cover-up story as to why it never investigated the Foley emails sent to it by CREW.
CBS News has reported that according to the FBI when CREW gave the Bureau the original set of emails from Rep. Mark Foley to a former House page, they were "heavily redacted." The FBI is also claiming that it came back to CREW and asked for more information so that it could follow up, but that CREW refused to provide anything further. Reporters from several other news organizations have repeated this allegation. The FBI is lying.
On Monday, October 2, CREW sent a letter to the DOJ I.G.'s office, attaching exact copies of the emails CREW had sent to the FBI on July 21, 2006. Both the former page's name and the person to whom the page forwarded Rep. Foley's emails were clearly visible. Moreover, after CREW sent the emails to the FBI, CREW's only subsequent contact with the Bureau was one telephone call from the special agent to whom CREW had sent the material confirming that the emails were from Rep. Foley. CREW had no further contact with the FBI.
In contrast with this new explanation for failing to investigate the Foley matter, The Washington Post has reported that an unnamed FBI official stated that the Bureau decided not to investigate after concluding that the emails "did not rise to the level of criminal activity."
Melanie Sloan, CREW's executive director said today, "the FBI cannot have it both ways; either it failed to investigate the Foley emails because they did not rise to a level of criminal activity or because it did not have adequate information to do so. Pick one.
"Attorney General Gonzales has told the public repeatedly that the investigation and prosecution of those who sexually exploit children is a top priority. We are outraged that the FBI failed to investigate Rep. Foley and is now blaming others for its inaction.
"It is time for all of those who had knowledge about Rep. Foley's conduct to step up and take responsibility for leaving a sexual predator on the loose."
CREW's letters and Rep. Foley's e-mails are available at www.citizensforethics.org."
