>XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU OCT 5 2006 2:53:48 ET XXXXX
CLAIM: FILTHY FOLEY ONLINE MESSAGES WERE PAGE PRANK GONE AWRY
**World Exclusive**
**Must Credit the DRUDGE REPORT**
According to two people close to former congressional page Jordan Edmund, the now famous lurid AOL Instant Message exchanges that led to the resignation of Mark Foley were part of an online prank that by mistake got into the hands of enemy political operatives, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.
According to one Oklahoma source who knows the former page very well, Edmund, a conservative Republican, goaded an unwitting Foley to type embarrassing comments that were then shared with a small group of young Hill politicos. The prank went awry when the saved IM sessions got into the hands of political operatives favorable to Democrats.
The primary source, an ally of Edmund, adamantly proclaims that the former page is not a homosexual. The prank scenario was confirmed by a second associate of Edmund. Both are fearful that their political careers will be affected if they are publicly brought into the matter.
The prank scenario only applies to the Edmund IM sessions and does not necessarily apply to any other exchanges between the former congressman and others.
The news come on the heels that Edmund has hired former Timothy McVeigh attorney, Stephen Jones.
Developing...
Wont matter, his lawyer cannot stop the evil media from finding him. He has nowhere to hide. His life is ruined.
oh, I did not know that. Thanks.
I think he has bigger things to worry about right now.
Problem is they're liable to find the RNC or somebody making the payoff payments for him :( There is potentially a LOT to this story.
Well, a thousand posts in under an hour....who can blame him?
He calls himself a "political whore" at his myspace blog.
He got a HUGH laugh out of it though, after reading Drudge.
Maybe we should compile a list.
Punk little 21 year old snot!
He needs legal action taken against him. He is the type that hang out at DU and move on. Take his computer NOW
I'll bet ya a dollar to a donut(chocolate icing please) that the dims are in a huddle as we speak trying to figure
LOL How to operate email and IM's LOL Good day for internet and website consultants in D.C.
Upset, embarrassed, maybe a little scared. When he and friends played the prank when they were 18 they probably had no idea that their IMs might show up later in a big dem. scandal. I think a lot of people forget he is only 21 right now. I see a lot of people attributing complex scenarios to his actions rather than seeing that it is most likely the result of a democratic operative latching onto the leftovers of a boyhood prank.
Last I heard this morning he was still employed by them. I have a call into someone that is trying to find out if he was fired.
Because he felt humiliated? ashamed? Maybe he allowed the little pranksters to blackmail him? Allowing yourself to be blackmailed is serious; more serious than instant messaging.
Not just any lawyer, a defense attourney.
The little punk knews he is seriously in trouble.
BullShip.
Foley is a Teenager-abusing faggot who got caught. Here in FL we have known he was gay for years.
"let's see how Brian Ross has been spending his afternoon!"
He's busy instant messaging out his resume to his chat buddies...
It is time for Rove to focus on discrediting Pelosi and her ability to govern.
