Hastert Requests Criminal Probe of Foley

House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., requested Sunday that the Justice Department conduct an investigation into former Rep. Mark Foley (news, bio, voting record)'s electronic messages to teenage boys — a lurid scandal that has put House Republicans in political peril.

"As Speaker of the House, I hereby request that the Department of Justice conduct an investigation of Mr. Foley's conduct with current and former House pages to determine to what extent any of his actions violated federal law," Hastert wrote in a letter to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Anyone who believes that this will be the death knell of Republicans in the mid-terms is smoking crack. Nobody gives a feces about this scandal other than bloggers and the MSM, as Foley is not on the ballot in all Congressional races. Conservatives will shrug and continue to vote for their Republican candidates. Foley resigned quickly, that right there alone killed off half of the Dim/MSM future talking points, plotting, and strategy. Even the Dim candidate down in FL won't win. The district is solidly Republican.

This could help the Republicans with the base. Had they ignored this, like demonrats, some conservatives could have taken the they're-all-the-same-I'll-just-stay-home attitude.

You watch...the investigation into Plamegate has taken 3 YEARS...but, the dems will scream bias if this investigation isn't done before the Nov. elections...

Heard it on CNN and supposedly no one knows where he is. According to the CNN person, some think he's in D.C. others think he's in Florida.

YUP. Investigation needed, but also what about the AG investigation of Jeffersons freezer full of cash? Hastert seems hot on sex but cold on cash ? Why?

[onyx]

Is he fixing to pull a Boorda? I doubt it.

[Dinah Lord]

He has a ton of more stuff at the link - verrrry interesting. (Although the FReepers (yourself included) are going to town on the CREW crew.

nyuk-nyuk-nyuk.

Since Madsen gave the Bwarney Fwanks scandal CPR and brought it back to life here's the old FR report on it.

Jason Leopold is a self admitted coke snorting homosexual.

ROFLOL! Maybe he is just jealous of Foley.

[MOgirl]

Hello,

You have stated what I have been thinking today very well, thanks!

Glad to be here, MOgirl

[SE Mom]

I doubt that too...unless he gets drunk..depressed. But the idea that he's SAID he'd never be found is really intriguing...wonder who he said it TO..under what circumstances etc..

[Mo1]

He said it??

I guess that could either mean he's leaving for France or he off'd himself

[muawiyah]

Another homosexual angle ~ this is a sacrificial "outing" isn't it.

[Diddle E. Squat]

WTH?! Who's reporting that? Did Foley tell someone he'd never be found? Interesting...does anyone know where he is now?

Thailand?

[Dinah Lord]

Hastert seems hot on sex but cold on cash ?

I wondered that about that too, Candor7.

[Axhandle]

I wish that I could disagree with something that you wrote, but it is all true.

[onyx]

I'll tell you one place he's not going: The Cayman Islands. Homosexuals are not welcome there.

[onyx]

I was just perusing that site.
Thanks, Dinah.

[longtermmemmory]

Noted how NOBODY in the media is asking the most important questin in the ENTIRE DEBATE?


WHERE IS MARK FOLEY?

WHERE IS MARK FOLEY HIDING?

WHY IS MARK FOLEY HIDING?

The MSM is protecting the homosexual.

LOL!!
