It's coming out now that Bush's attorney generals (fundamentalist Ashcroft and fascist Gonzalez) put pressure on the FBI NOT to investigate Foley's follies. Also, Gov. Jeb Bush told state law enforcement to keep off.

from http://waynemadsenreport.com:

October 3, 2006 -- WMR has learned from informed sources in the Justice Department that the salacious e-mails from Rep. Mark Foley were leaked to ABC News by career Justice Department prosecutors and FBI agents who are incensed that Attorneys General John Ashcroft and Alberto Gonzales covered up the House page scandal for political reasons. The back story of Pagegate is that there was a criminal conspiracy by the top political leadership of the Justice Department to cover up the predatory activities of Foley and other GOP members of Congress since at least 2003 and, likely, as early as 2001.

Other informed sources in the nation's capital report that Pagegate will soon implicate a number of GOP staffers in both the House and the Senate who intimidated and pressured male pages into inappropriate sexual relationships. One source confided that the staff members' contact with pages was "more egregious" than Foley's behavior.

AND:

October 3, 2006 -- Informed sources in Tallahassee, Florida have told WMR that Governor Jeb Bush was fully aware of ex-Rep. Mark Foley's conduct with underage male pages but sat on the information to protect Foley and another top GOP Florida official, Attorney General Charlie Crist, who is currently running for governor to replace Bush. Today, Jeb Bush said he had not previously known about Foley's behavior with the pages before being informed by House Speaker Dennis Hastert in a letter dated October 1, 2006. Bush said he was "dismayed and shocked to learn about Congressman Foley's unacceptable behavior."

However, according to our Florida sources, the FBI and Justice Department informed the Florida Governor's office, Attorney General Crist, and the Florida AG's Child Protection Cybercrime Unit at least a year ago about Foley's predatory emails and instant messages. WMR was told that Crist's conflict-of-interest in the case stems from Crist's and Foley's involvement in gay sex parties, some of which took place during 2003 in trendy Coconut Grove, Florida.

I don't trust the Wayne Madsen Report. I'll wait until it comes out on a mainstream source. I sure don't want to get too far out on this. The facts we have is all that's needed to sink these corrupt slimeballs.

What do they need to hide?

If true, this will sink a large portion of the Republican Party in very deep water. I am certainly not going to conjecture here, but I will be awaiting any further word on this aspect of the story.

Yikes. If this is true -- and I guess I'll wait with the rest for verification -- it is BIG news. It would not surprise me in the least for the Bush co. to do such a thing, with elections bearing down. But it seems just too good to be true that this one scandal would reach to all the right places... blink.gif

We are really getting into deep water here. Reminds me of a remark made by Iago. He wasn't too sure Othello was having sex with his wife, but that was enough for him. "But I, for mere suspicion in that kind. Will do as if for surety"

Reminder: Iago was the villian. rolleyes.gif unsure.gif rolleyes.gif
