Have you been listening to Rush today? Sounds like there is an ex-R. page, Haymen that went to work for the Dems. including the Clinton White House staff. Wonder if Fordham can be traced to this guy? Could Fordham have passed Foley's AOL login info. over to the Dems. through this guy? Could Fordham been a lover scorned taking revenge?

Either him or the FBI could have done it. I would think we shall see some more resignations.

Jake Tapper, an anti-Christian leftist I remember from the 2000 campaign.

Hmmm. I am thinking here. I have a theory.

It is against the law to discriminate against anyone for sexual orientation in hiring.

Now, suppose that a certain number of gays cultivate a conservative personna for the purpose of getting inside information. Now suppose those people find damaging information and forward it to people like Brian Ross.

I am seeing an alarming similarity between this and the situation in the Catholic Church.

There is more than meets the eye in this scandal, that's for sure.

FORDHAM STATEMENT:

"I want to clarify a few things: When I sought to help Congressman Foley and his family when his shocking secrets were being revealed, I did so as a friend of my former boss, not as Congressman Reynolds' Chief of Staff. I reached out to the Foley family, as any good friend would, because I was worried about their emotional well-being."

"At the same time, I want it to be perfectly clear that I never attempted to prevent any inquiries or investigation of Foley's conduct by House officials or any other authority. Like so many, I feel betrayed by Mark Foley's indefensible behavior."

I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure his background will come out soon too.

He apparently was also the guy who last year convinced someone (Shimkus?) not to let the entire page board see the original e-mails.

Every report I've seen claims the parent didn't want the emails released and Foley was told to cut off contact based on the parent's wishes. How then, did they get the emails?

Isn't Reynolds the head of the RNCC? Or RCC? I think we get mail with his name on it.

Okay, now I'm starting to get confused, too. Did Hastert actually *see* the emails, or was he simply told about them?I thought I heard on the news this morning the parents of the page who got the emails did not want to turn them over, just wanted them to stop. I realize Hastert didn't know about the IM's.

That's right -- Trapper is a left wing, Christian hating zealot.

I like your thinking --- this plot has been in the planning stages for quite some time and the drip, drip, drip was anticipated.

Rush just said that there are a lot of things that are coming to light about Foley now. He says that Foley was "in-tight" with the Hollywood left.

I hadn't seen that.

My sole source of confidence is that if I can see this, I am sure Rove and the President also see it, and will be capable of taking appropriate action.

Why does it make a difference? Hastert KNEW about the e-mails either way, but knowledge does not make him guilty of anything. The rest of your info is correct.

Hastert must NOT resign. In fact, he ought to strike back forcefully. At this juncture, it's all about getting Hastert to resign.

Whoa... Not even sure which way to go with this. My brain can't wrap around it. If you told me that Foley was on the Intelligence committee, I'd blame him for leaking national secrets to the press.

It matters in that if the parents didn't release them, someone else did. How did they get them and who are they?
