After interviewing some 40 former congressional pages, FBI agents have yet to turn up any evidence of direct sexual contact between underage pages and former Congressman Mark Foley.
Instead, according to law enforcement officials and several former pages, a pattern is emerging of seduction by Foley that began when the boys were 16 and 17. In cases where actual sex followed, it was not until the boys were at the legal age of 18.

Maybe he really is just a creep, not a criminal.
Still sick if Foley used the page program as a recruiting center for future sex partners. Kind of like a President using the intern program for sex partners.
It appears he didn't lie about it under oath either nor did he use the power of his office to obstruct justice.
Now, if he were a Democrat...
Foley is different from that "proud" Democrat fag who is being worshipped by Democrats how?
Exactly. This would be a "politically motivated witch hunt".
They're too busy with Weldon's daughter...
Nasty...
Talk about invasion of privacy!!!
He knew what he did wrong, resigned and sought help.
I understand the Feds may have found some Foley photo albums with some potentially damaging evidence, but so far they've been useless since all the pages are stuck together...
So, when is the lamestream media going to admit that despite Foley's perversions, he didn't actually break any laws?

It doesn't matter. This guy could end up being the victim of mistaken identity or was set up the bomb by a spook from the Dem ranks. Of course I don't think this is the case but the fact of the matter is the Democrats have decided to embark on the Richard Jewell/ Mark Carr strategy. Toss up rumor and innuendo and let the compliant and hysterical 24/7 media take it from there. If the person is vindicated the media will make note of this in a 6pt font note on the margin of the paper.
"The Foley Story" is a typical media creation in that it now has nothing to do with facts. You just say "The Foley Scandal" and people are supposed to shriek in horror. The real Foley Scandal pretty much ended where it began - with his resignation. But Harry Reid is still in office.
"He spotted me when I was a page and set the hook while I was still in high school," one former page told ABC News. "He didn't reel me in until he showed up at my college campus on a congressional visit. We had sex," said the page, who has been interviewed by the FBI."
I don't understand what's going on. It's not like he was raping them. It's apparently consensual. They were of legal age. When I was 18 I knew the difference between men and women. These guys he was hitting on were homosexuals.
I don't like it, but to be fair why don't we start checking into the sexual habits and pickup lines of every homosexual Demoncrat in congress?
He should join NAMBLA and the Democrats would LOVE him!! Or maybe he could become a Gay Boy Scout LEADER and they would ADORE him!!!!
LOL! It does sound like Foley was similar to Clinton who had his own mental list of what was acceptable in anticipation of future testimony.
This was known at day 3 of this over a week ago. Only the AP implied that pages were under 18.
It may not be legal.
It may be that the page program is nothing more than a hand picked gay young boy stable these freaks keep close at hand so they don't have to cruise the streets in Boystown late at night...
Not to mention that Foley resigned immediately and the GOP has neither defended nor excused his behavior.
Maybe he turned over a new page...........
"Then we plan to start questioning the female pages," said one senior law enforcement official.
Oh? Is it possible that there are some non-Republican congresscritters who actually had physical sex with underage pages?
Nothing here we didn't already know...
Just another excuse for Brian Ross to keep this story on the front burner..
LOL!!! Good one!
Take your logic a little farther and you really have a dilemna. We all have to ask ourselves this quextion?
If this were a heterosexual man, and we exchanged the male pages for female interns, would this "scandal" have ever been covered. Would the behavior of the congressman be called "flirting" or "predation"? Beause he's gay, and a Republican, of course the media will call him a predator despite the implications for the gay community in general.

"So, when is the lamestream media going to admit that despite Foley's perversions, he didn't actually break any laws?"
November 8th.
I wonder if Foley had admitted he was a homosexual before this sleazeorama broke. Would his emails to underage pages be more tolerable to the MSM. I think the answer would be yes. I am very cynical but think the MSM is not indignant over Foley emailing and instant messaging underage pages but that he concealed his homosexuality.
No doubt if he had admitted he was a homosexual the press would give him a free pass. We would now be reading terms such as Foley " mentor to youth" Foley " pioneer in breaking down intergenerational sex barriers" Foley " bringing confused young men hope over their sexual identity" Foley " Republican willing to buck party's
hypocritical morality". Yeah he would be man of the year.
Foley is a sleaze and deserves contempt and if criminal charges are filed he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
No pages were harmed in the manufacturing of this scandal.
The Democrats and the media have been everywhere saying that Foley sodomized children.
Chris Matthews was on the Tonight Show about two weeks ago and widened the net to include all Republicans as molesters.
He told Leno that Republicans in Congress were acting like Catholic priests in the recent church scandal.
Harold Ford said that Republicans in Congress were protecting a " child molester."
And taking money from this child molester's PAC.
I think I've gotten more revolting Spam in my e mail than anything Foley and Edmund sent to each other.
The age of consent in most states and I would wager this was pushed by many Democrat legislatures- is anywhere from 16 to 18.
In Massachussetts, thanks to the Democrats-it's legal for two gays of 18 to " marry."
If Foley was a Democrat, ABC would be asking Jordan Edmund if the couple was registered at Crate and Barrel.
But, when a Republican is involved ,suddenly a man of 18 is now a helpless, wimpering child , a mere baby that must be protected , with no concept of the word No.
Tell that to those 18 year old Marines, soldiers and sailors proudly serving their country.
He abused his authority and obviously has a thing for "barely legal" teens. He deserves to be kicked out of public life and should never hold a managerial position of any kind again.
But no, he's not a criminal...not now, anyway.

What really pisses me off are parasites like Harry Reid who ripoff the taxpayer to line their own pockets. But what's new about that?
"Still sick if Foley used the page program as a recruiting center for future sex partners. Kind of like a President using the intern program for sex partners."
Couldn't agree more. Indoctrination, softening the opinions of young people over time, for the homosexual agenda is sick. And does as much damage to kids as the eventual molestation does. Congress, schools, makes no difference, it's sick.

A sex scandal with apparatly no sex.
And when they realized they weren't minors, they started referring to them as "teeagers." Of course that accurate, but they did it to create an image that Foley was preying on children.
It's UNBELIEVABLE how much play this story is getting! Well, on second thought... No it's not, cuz the dork's a Republican!

Fantastic, your menagerie grows!
It's a circus out there!
Under the 'big top' of the capitol! A circus for sure.
