No, this is not our Oct Surprise. This doesn't help us other then the fact it derails the Democrat Noise Train. They put time and effort to setting this attack up. If true, the follow up to this is now DOA and they have to go back to the drawing board.

It makes sense, but the missing part is when the dem operatives obtained it, who had knowledge of it, and who was the decision maker who distributed it.
I doubt they left a solid direct trail, so back tracing it will be interesting.

Why should he rephrase it? Sounds "spot on" to me.

"they set up Foley's computer to save all the stuff"
Yes, if we have a case of anyone else using Foley's computer to create the IM trail then we could definitely be into criminal territory?? Especially given how the IM transcripts ended up being used....??
Did Foley actually write the salacious IMs or could Edmund or one of his pals have had any access to Foley's computer to write them? I doubt Foley would have resigned unless he had some culpability for trolling young pages or ex-pages, but we should not assume the IM transcripts actually reflect words from Foley. I always thought it was exceptionally dumb for even the most predatory pedophile to IM such stuff, but then I'm not one of those creatures and don't usually think with that part of my anatomy (I hope). What if this all turns out to be a set-up on multiple levels??

I really hate to comment much on this since there are so few facts established, but in my mind there's a lot more here than just a "prank." As Diddle E. Squat pointed out, this "prank" story only came out after Edmund had retained a high-priced, big-gun attorney. I think this Edmund kid may be looking at some serious legal trouble. I'm thinking of the blackmail variety.

Damn that was a funny one.
Of course, I think you can't invest in those...they are all owned by the Chinese, or some other foreigners.....
NOnetheless, that was a damn funny post.

Must be scaring those pages silly when they found out Freeh is going to investigate. They truth will come out now even more.

As a public service, I will translate Drudge's info. "I set Foley up by egging him into cyber-sex while I recorded it all and passed it around to people I knew would use it for a political dirty trick. Now that the FBI is involved they will see all the IMs, not just the ones i cherry-picked for release, and will see I am the one who initiated it, so my lawyer advised me to use the "prank gone wrong" excuse."
ROFLMAO........I just LOVE this explanation!

The Story is no Longer - CONGRESSMAN PREYS ON YOUNG PAGES --- the story now is DEMOCRAT DIRTY TRICKS TO INFLUENCE ELECTION. Maybe. But only if the MSM makes it this. Not sure they will. What are the odds?

You're at it again. The page was legal age and not a "boy" when they had cybersex. Keep up the campaign though.

Someone was setting up Foley. Now that the FBI is going to investigate I guess the players needed to hire attorneys and come clean.
Heads will roll and the republicans will be the better for it all. Hastert hung tough and did the right thing.

Because, obviously, Foley didn't know it was a prank.
He was essentially entrapped, though it looks like not with the intention harming Foley politically. But that's how it has turned out. And so, he may be in a fair amount of trouble.
To: TXBubba
What I think is funny is that I don't think the Dems involved realized it was a prank either.
______________
That goes for the slack journalist Brian Ross and ABC News. These guys didn't even try to investigate this. Just enough to make Republicans look bad. Mom, somebody's in trouble...
To: savedbygrace
I wonder what he means by the word "goaded?"
Does that mean that they forced Foley against his will to type such messages?
