Who knows. It sounds like Fordham begged them not to share the emails with the Board (As reported by ABC). Now that he's been sacked, he's in major CYA mode.

At Fordham's urging, according to the sources, the matter was not given to the full board, and instead Congressman Foley was privately approached and told to stop all contact with the page he had been e-mailing./

"This is something we should have been aware of, and we weren't, and I'm very unhappy about that," said Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), who also serves on the page board.
