10/4 According to Drudge, the Foley intern was 18 at the time. If true,
it still makes him a sicko but non-criminal... "DEVELOPING..."
\_ Did they out Drudge yet?
\_ Drudge was also the one who said the kids seduced Foley.
\_ Because his dick was so large and tax free?
I know when I was a teen nothing was hotter. I'd beat off
to C-SPAN reruns in the wee hours.
\_ The transcripts I've seen imply that some of them were at least
playing along...
\_ so why would he have resigned?
\_ Mr. Accuracy strikes again!
\_ whoever said it was criminal anyway? age of consent is 16 in DC.
\_ whoever said it was criminal in the first place? age of consent is
16 in DC. it doesn't stop freepers around the country from going
ape over the left-wing MSM DemocRAT conspiracy, though.

\_ Yes, George Soros has been breeding a master race of nubile
young boys, installed as moles in the page program to tempt
innocent conservative knights! The horror!
\_ Why can't George Soros breed a master race of nubile young
girls to install as moles in high tech fields to tempt
innocent geekish knights?
\_ Leak came from a GOP aide:

| www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1713877/posts jrooney A posting of an unredacted instant message sessions between Rep. Mark Foley and a former congressional page has apparently exposed the identity of the now 21 year-old accuser... ABC RELEASED TRANSCRIPT OF ONE CHAT BETWEEN FOLEY AND A MAN WHO WAS 18 AT THE TIME OF THE INSTANT MESSAGE EXCHANGE.... View Replies To: PatriotCJC It is true and right now as I type O'Reilly has Brian Ross on the air and this is not being addressed! View Replies To: AZRepublican If the guy was 18 then this story is dead. We'll have a new story, a story as big as when CBS used fake documents to attack Pres Bush. View Replies To: jrooney Anyone else think that these IM's are fake? Its a lot easier to fake IM logs than it is to fake Air National Guard documents from the '70s... View Replies To: AZRepublican If the guy was 18 then this story is dead. Other than Drudge saying it, where is the proof he was 18? I'm by no means a lock-step Repub, but its really gratifying to see some talk show hosts, like Jerry Doyle and Mike Savage, who were using this situation to prove their non-partisan bonefides, eat crow on this. View Replies To: AHun They tracked back his ID to his page bio I think. Please don't say "my space", because those bios are worthless. I have kids in my Boy Scout troop who claim to be 26 on my space. last Disclaimer: Opinions posted on Free Republic are those of the individual posters and do not necessarily represent the opinion of Free Republic or its management.

That aide has been a registered Republican since becoming eligible to vote, said the source, who showed The Hill public records supporting his claim. The same source, who acted as an intermediary between the aide-turned-whistleblower and several news outlets, says the person who shared the documents is no longer employed in the House. But the whistleblower was a paid GOP staffer when the documents were first given to the media. The source bolstered the claim by sharing un-redacted e-mails in which the former page first alerted his congressional sponsor's office of Foley's attentions. The copies of these e-mails, now available to the public, have the names of senders and recipients blotted out. These revelations mean that Republicans who are calling for probes to discover what Democratic leaders and staff knew about Foley's improper exchanges with under-age pages will likely be unable to show that the opposition party orchestrated the scandal now roiling the GOP just a month away from the midterm elections. House GOP leadership aides have said they would like to see investigations of Foley examine how the story became public. ABC News's website first reported the e-mails just as Congress was about to recess for the election. The explosive disclosures about Foley's communications with teenage pages have overshadowed Republican legislative accomplishments during their final week in town. They have become the preoccupation of a capital press corps that has little else to write about now that Congress is in recess and Election Day is still a month away. Republicans say the timing of the scandal is evidence of a political dirty trick orchestrated by Democrats. They have drawn comparisons to negative reports about President Bush that surfaced before the 2000 and 2004 campaigns. Shortly before the 2000 election, it was reported that Bush had been arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, and before Election Day 2004, forged documents surfaced calling into question Bush's National Guard service. That Foley's scandalous communications came to public light during Congress's final week in Washington was largely determined by the media outlets which obtained the suspicious e-mails in the middle of the summer, said the person who provided them to reporters several months ago. In an August 2005 e-mail exchange between Foley and a former page, given to reporters this summer, Foley asks the teenager his age, asks him to send a picture of himself, and describes his own work-out activities, including a 25-mile bike ride. The e-mails given to reporters included one sent by the page to a House staffer in which the page described Foley's e-mail as "sick" and said it "freaked me out." The page also informs the staffer that Foley asked what the teen wanted for his birthday. The e-mails were alarming enough to prompt the page's parents in the fall of 2005 to ask their son's congressional sponsor, Rep. But while the e-mails were concerning enough to prompt this action, editors and reporters at various publications did not consider them remarkable enough to write about. The person who provided the e-mails to several DC-based news outlets in July claimed to have no knowledge of who gave them to two Florida papers last year. DC-based media organizations declined to report on the e-mails. com, published a few of the exchanges between Foley and the former page. But those blog-reported e-mails did not include correspondence between the page and a House aide in which the teen expressed anxiety about Foley's intentions. After ABC News disclosed the e-mails exchanged last year between Foley and a former page, it reported about much more sexually explicit communications between Foley and a different former page over an "instant messaging" (IM) software program in 2003. The first Web report of the relatively tame e-mails appears to have prompted someone to share the explicit IM messages. After ABC News obtained those messages, in which Foley discussed sexual acts with the second former page, a scandal mushroomed on Capitol Hill, and Foley resigned. The source who provided the e-mails that ABC News first reported on its blog, denied sharing the more explicit IMs So while the primary source of the e-mails which kicked off the scandal was a House GOP aide, the trigger of the news coverage was the weblog. An interview request e-mailed to the site was not returned. |
