I would be surprised if the FBI doesn't raid Foley's home in the next couple of days, to seize his computer to see how much kiddie porn that sicko has on it. He's going to prison, and rightfully so. I just wish the Republican leaders had handled this differently. It looks like they were trying to cover for Foley, and you know that's exactly how the RATS are going to play it out in the media.
But they didn't cover up for him. Remember the first e-mails were non-sexually explicit and the page's parents complained that they wanted the e-mails to stop, but didn't want a further investigation.
As soon as the sexually explicit IM's were released, foley was booted, unlike barney frank or gerry studds, both democrats.
I don't see where he has committed any unlawful act. The age of consent in DC is 16, and apparently none of the pages took him up on his offers anyway.
The FBI would have difficulty getting a search warrant, and in any case he's not so dumb that he wouldn't have chucked his hard drive by now.
They have been behind the curve for more than a year.
That is exactly why Foley bugged out of DC as fast as he did ... to get home and discard all of his computer equipment and clean the place up from porn. Before the feds could get to it.
