Aide Says He Reported Foley 2 Years Ago
Yahooooo News ^ | 10/4/06

WASHINGTON - A senior congressional aide said Wednesday that he alerted House Speaker Dennis Hastert's office two years ago about worrisome conduct by former Rep. Mark Foley with teenage pages.

Kirk Fordham told The Associated Press that when he was told about Foley's inappropriate behavior toward pages, he had "more than one conversation with senior staff at the highest level of the House of Representatives asking them to intervene."

The conversations took place long before the e-mail scandal broke, Fordham said, and at least a year earlier than members of the House GOP leadership have acknowledged.

There was nothing in the post about the FBI, that was my surmising.

I see no value in outing this fellow. The only explanation for wanting to expose him would be to determine if the IM's were the real deal find out his interaction with Foley and find out if the person reported Foley to anyone. That would be the FBI's job, not some bloggers job

The only mention of the FBI investigating I saw was a bunch of DU types threatening the blogger with it for mentioning the guy's name.

I agree. It is helpful to find out about his age. If he is 21 now that means 3 years ago he was 18. Do the math. This needs to be exposed so the RATS and the MSM shut up about this being a Child.

Interesting find: Kirk Fordham made a PAC contribution to the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund in 1998.

We are going to get creamed by denying what is happening here. The faster Hastert resigns the less damage to the nov. elections. Standing there with your fists pumping in the air saying, " He is gay and a democrat and he is getting paid..."

These kind of scandles fueled off denial. Hastert can save his seat by giving up the leadership. If he buries himself in this scandle he will hurt the party. THAT is plain and simple.

Conduct and emails are not the same thing

And what does he mean by conduct ?

So Fordham worked in the office of the guy controlling the $$$$$$$ for this election cycle. Now we know why some Republican candidates aren't getting the $$$$$$$ they need to win. Just look at the Arizona race between Graf and Giffords. And look at the person who occupies the seat currently. Kolbe won't endorse the Republican candidate, Graf. All of these things tie together somehow. I'm eagerly awaiting the press tying all this stuff together.

It has Black Dog Bubba written all over it.

Fordham is gay. He was an out gay according to the stories I have read. He worked for Foley until last year when he went to work for Tom Reynolds.
