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.

If this was just a prank, then why the heck would Foley have resigned immediately? Doesn't add up.

Wha?!?!?!?
Why did Foley resign?
To: Kieri
I predict this is going to be so much worse for the Democrats by Sunday they will be hiding in their proverbial closets.
The next question is who initiated the 'prank'.. who knew it was a prank.. who leaked those... it is going to be VERY UGLY for the democrats..
p.s. Foley is still scum...

I think he resigned because of the e-mails. It was after he resigned that the IMs were revealed.

Why did he save them for three years, how did they end up in the hands of a Dem operative and why did hire a top defense attorney? All questions inquring minds would like to know.
