It's dead Jim.

The RATS were caught again. This will go away very quickly.

Another former congressional page in Atlanta told the Associated Press yesterday that he had received sexually suggestive messages from Mr. Foley in 1997.

Tyson Vivyan's account appears to show the earliest exchange of suggestive messages reported between Mr. Foley and teens who had served in the Capitol page program. Previous accounts placed the earliest contacts in 2003.

IIRC, you had a link showing (a) Tyson Vivyan in Atlanta. Can you post it here again?

So let me get this straight - These emails and IM messages were basically a PRANK, a SETUP, gone awry? This is why this little smartass has to hire a lawyer because blackmail may be involved?

It's seems as though there are several layers to this trumped up "scandal"?

Mr. Edmund is a campaign staffer for Oklahoma gubernatorial candidate Ernest Istook, a Republican.

This wasn't a prank.

I hope the FBI goes far beyond Jordan Edmund, and finds out which Democrat operative illegally leaked the private emails and Instant Messages to the press.

It's now starting to look like not a prank but a money making book deal for young Jordon Edmund.

Apparently the “prank‚” may lead to more revelations such as a “book deal” that some of pages were hoping to get, a kind of “Capital Hill 90210. What would “sauce” the offer up more than to have a “learing pervert congressman” in the script?

Macsmind provides an message board conversation from 2004 between pages talking about the book deal.

Also yesterday, several more pages came forward with accounts of purported misconduct by Mr. Foley. ABC News reported that three pages, one each from 1998, 2000 and 2002, described being subject to sexual advances from Mr. Foley over the Internet, sometimes in graphic terms. The network did not name these persons.

RELEASE THEIR NAMES, damnnit -- these are not RAPE (alleged) victims.

Oh oh... right. Feminist mantra: Words equal rape.

this guy has McVeigh's lawyer?

isn't he the lawyer who's computer was hacked by media types revealing privileged conversations?
Wasn't McVeigh convicted and fried in record time?

sounds like a good choice to me...

Last night there was some info about the e-mails being forged as well, or at least some of them. I read about it here in FR

In a statement Wednesday night, Mr. Istook asked the press to leave Mr. Edmund alone, saying, "It was a complete surprise to learn this morning that one victim may be someone I know.

"To every reporter, I request, please have the decency to avoid making things worse for the victims, and just leave them alone. This happened years ago when the victims were minors."

WTF? Jordan Edmund is a victim???
