Foleygate = Son of Rathergate
The Foley email-and-IM scandal has now focused more on the scandalous behavior of ABC News and the Democrats. First, a quick review:
The person involved in the initial chat revealed by ABC was not a minor nor a page. He was an ex-page who was apparently 18 years old at the time. Furthermore, the relationship never went beyond the chat stage. In fact, the ex-page, Jordan Edmund now claims that the whole thing was a hoax, a joke, a stunt that never went past a nasty chat or two.
Emails are, in most systems, saved until deleted. You can put them in folders or archive them but it isn't unusual to keep a copy of an email.
Instant Messages, however, are a different matter. You have to cut-and-paste the contents of the chat at the time and put it into perhaps a Word document in order to keep a record of the chat.

The key pieces of evidence in the Foley case are emails that have been shown to be altered and chats that were kept out of sight for three years! So why, if you had such evidence against Congressman Foley, would you keep it hidden? If the behavior was so bad, who was withholding the evidence? It appears that Democrats held on to the information and waited to find a time to release the information at a time most beneficial to their election campaigns, and to hell with any kids who might in any way be endangered. It now appears, though, that Foley didn't ever have any relations with underaged pages at all but rather sent and received inappropriate messages back and forth with former pages. Let's peruse some links:
Little Green Footballs, the first to break the news that Dan Rather's National Guard documents were fakes, has noticed that there are faked/altered emails being passed around in this case.
Passionate America gets down to brass tacks on this issue:
"Foleygate : Mark Foley emails altered
***Updates at the bottom***
Who altered the Mark Foley emails?
The Congressman Mark Foley child sex scandal keeps getting stranger by the minute. I am starting to think it should be called Foleygate. Someone has altered the emails that Mark Foley is accused of sending to a congressional page. Look for yourself:
This is a picture of the email that was originally posted at Stop Sex Predators.
(I have marked the differences with red arrows. Click to enlarge)..."Read the rest right here.
Flopping Aces has all sorts of additional information that reveals the workings of a dirty tricks machine. Here is are two excerpts:
"The fact that emails were altered is small fry compared to the fact that a known lefty operative appears to have had these emails and IM’s for quite some time and didn’t release them until now….putting how many kids at risk? For what?
A October Surprise."
Aces posts factual evidence to back up that statement here.
"Now this is how to summarize this story:
What R leadership knew: “How was your vacation, send me a pic”
What D leadership knew: “I’d drive a thousand miles for a hot young stud like you”
So who was allowing “abuse” ???
That scandal train is slowly squeaking backwards…."
Update! Flopping Aces has more details about the faked aspects of this case and the Democratic operatives behind it!
Hypocrites! Maybe in the case of the Democrats, that isn't a strong enough term. There is something inherently evil about knowingly placing young people at risk (if that is indeed what was happening) in order to pick up a few votes in November. Yes, Evil. As evil as a Congressman seeking to use his experience and power to seduce younger people. Foley, ABC News and the Democratic leadership all make me sick.
