The fact that ABC now has possession of 52 separate IM's from Foley to pages tells me that it was likely DEMOCRATIC operatives, in cooperation with these underage pages and ultimately ABC, who planned (and maybe even paid) for these pages to communicate with Foley for the express purpose of having internet sex talk.
How else to explain the relative ease with which ABC and the Democratic charlatans got these IM's.
What teen willingly gives up personal info to any authority figure that easily, especially when it would embarass the teen.
I agree with you. I've been wondering that all day. Teens don't typically save their chats, especially chats that would indicate what these would indicate about them. Also, who held onto these chats for 3 years? The teens saved them for 3 years and just NOW are releasing them? I don't think so. Also, if Foley's advances toward the teens were unwanted or unwelcome, why would they respond to the IM's and respond in they way they did? Don't get me wrong, Foley needed to be gone! But something just isn't right about this....
A teen who is now an adult and judging from the contents of the IMs, not someone who is particularly shamed at his own behavior.
SAid it before & will say it again, this is smells like the CBS/Rather mess!
Plus, these IM's are from when???????? 2003!!!
The emails are almost three years old. That's a long time to save IMs and to plan this whole thing. It sounds to me that whoever was on the other end of the Foley conversations was intentionally playing him along, maybe even went looking for him on-line just to do this. Actually, it's possible that the boys thought that it was funny, and saved the IMs for future reference. In that case though, I don't think that there was any damage done, except to the reputation of the fellow who didn't want any further investigation of the overly friendly emails.
