They just reported on Fox that there are questions about the ages of the pages involved, that even in some of the jurisdictions what was done would not be considered a crime with a 16 year old. (some states say that a 16 yo is a consenting adult)

That's another point that the MSM have been distorting through this whole discussion. "Underage" or "minor" (i.e. under 18) do NOT mean the same as "unable to legally consent to sex" (which varies state by state, from 15 to 18 usually.)

Also, the AOC in Washington, DC is 16.

Anyway, to my knowledge NO ONE has come forth who was 16 at the time who can show anything that is sexually compromising (the Louisiana former page's e-mails that he received when 16 don't count - the FBI already looked at them and found no laws were violated.)

They also mentioned that these pages may have been 18 which makes them consenting adults. I think Fox knows about all this Drudge stuff but is waiting for better facts so as not to look foolish. Hannity mentioned it briefly last night on his show, I expected alot more on it, but he mentioned it quickly and never elaborated. Give him time, he'll come through.
