WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley isn't expected to face charges after a lengthy investigation into his lurid messages to underage congressional pages, two federal law enforcement officials told The Associated Press on Thursday.

The Commie ‘RATS got what they wanted out of the Foley fiasco. They could care less what the final outcome is.
Curious timing though...just before another election.
He tap danced out of this one.
AP decides to inquire and report about this now, LOL.
How convenient to inject him back into the election news cycle with a report sure to raise ire from both sides.
Of course not. He’s a DemocRat.
Uhh, Foley is a Pubbie.
Well, I guess he’s in the wrong party then.
foley is a homo repub
I remember.
He should stand before a jury, and if guilty, do time.
Period.
These people should not have a get out of jail free card just because they served as “representatives of the people.”
Things are getting out of hand...
I’d like to see a MAM story count, Foley in 2006 vs. Rangel in 2008.
He may not end up in prison where he belongs but he’s still and will always be known as a scumbag.
“The Commie ‘RATS got what they wanted out of the Foley fiasco. They could care less what the final outcome is.”
It’s all about the timing.
NOTICE HOW THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE “10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF CLINTON IMPEACHMENT” THIS SEASON.
If it had been a Republican, the anniversaries would be thick and fast.
Which age was the page “under” as I recall there is no crime because the page was not under any age of consent.
Did Barney Frank put in a good word for him?
Having been to the bathrooms at the Minneapolis airport I fully understand why Craig chose a “wide stance”. Pure hypocrisy by the left, promoting police abuse of power.
No doubt that Foley was stupid, but only a couple of emails seemed racy. Maybe he was a perv, but then why is Barney Fwank still having his “house guests” work on his staff ... err .. Congressional employee staff.
Both situations were straight out of the Evil Playbook of Smears.
How can you stand in front of a jury if there are no charges?
He may be very slimy but as far as I know the kids he was interested in were all past the age of consent and that means his activities were probably legal. He also is a “former Congressman” so he did in fact pay a price for acts that were not illegal but were wrong.
Wow. The Democrats found a way to bring Foley back into the conversation for another election cycle.
