Longtime Republican was source of e-mails
By Alexander Bolton <mailto:alexb@thehill.com>
The source who in July gave news media Rep. Mark Foley's (R-Fla.)
suspect e-mails to a former House page says the documents came to him
from a House GOP aide.
That aide has been a registered Republican since becoming eligible to
vote, said the source, who showed The Hill public records supporting his
claim.
The same source, who acted as an intermediary between the
aide-turned-whistleblower and several news outlets, says the person who
shared the documents is no longer employed in the House.
But the whistleblower was a paid GOP staffer when the documents were
first given to the media.
The source bolstered the claim by sharing un-redacted e-mails in which
the former page first alerted his congressional sponsor's office of
Foley's attentions. The copies of these e-mails, now available to the
public, have the names of senders and recipients blotted out.
These revelations mean that Republicans who are calling for probes to
discover what Democratic leaders and staff knew about Foley's improper
exchanges with under-age pages will likely be unable to show that the
opposition party orchestrated the scandal now roiling the GOP just a
month away from the midterm elections.
Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) yesterday called for House Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee
Chairman Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.) to testify about what and when they knew
of Foley's contact with former pages (see related story).
House GOP leadership aides have said they would like to see
investigations of Foley examine how the story became public. ABC News's
website first reported the e-mails just as Congress was about to recess
for the election.
The explosive disclosures about Foley's communications with teenage
pages have overshadowed Republican legislative accomplishments during
their final week in town. They have become the preoccupation of a
capital press corps that has little else to write about now that
Congress is in recess and Election Day is still a month away.
Republicans say the timing of the scandal is evidence of a political
dirty trick orchestrated by Democrats. They have drawn comparisons to
negative reports about President Bush that surfaced before the 2000 and
2004 campaigns.
Shortly before the 2000 election, it was reported that Bush had been
arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, and before Election
Day 2004, forged documents surfaced calling into question Bush's
National Guard service.
That Foley's scandalous communications came to public light during
Congress's final week in Washington was largely determined by the media
outlets which obtained the suspicious e-mails in the middle of the
summer, said the person who provided them to reporters several months ago.
In an August 2005 e-mail exchange between Foley and a former page, given
to reporters this summer, Foley asks the teenager his age, asks him to
send a picture of himself, and describes his own work-out activities,
including a 25-mile bike ride. The e-mails given to reporters included
one sent by the page to a House staffer in which the page described
Foley's e-mail as "sick" and said it "freaked me out." The page also
informs the staffer that Foley asked what the teen wanted for his birthday.
The e-mails were alarming enough to prompt the page's parents in the
fall of 2005 to ask their son's congressional sponsor, Rep. Rodney
Alexander (R-La.), to take steps to stop Foley's correspondence.
Alexander's chief of staff then told aides in Speaker Dennis Hastert's
(R-Ill.) office about the communication and showed the e-mails to Jeff
Trandahl, clerk of the House. That fall, Trandahl and Rep. John Shimkus
(R-Ill.), chairman of the House Page Board, met Foley and told him to
stop contacting the former page.
But while the e-mails were concerning enough to prompt this action,
editors and reporters at various publications did not consider them
remarkable enough to write about.
The person who provided the e-mails to several D.C.-based news outlets
in July claimed to have no knowledge of who gave them to two Florida
papers last year.
D.C.-based media organizations declined to report on the e-mails. But
one, ABC News, reported on the e-mails last week after a Weblog,
stopsexpredators.blogspot.com, published a few of the exchanges between
Foley and the former page. But those blog-reported e-mails did not
include correspondence between the page and a House aide in which the
teen expressed anxiety about Foley's intentions.
After ABC News disclosed the e-mails exchanged last year between Foley
and a former page, it reported about much more sexually explicit
communications between Foley and a different former page over an
"instant messaging" (IM) software program in 2003.
The first Web report of the relatively tame e-mails appears to have
prompted someone to share the explicit IM messages. After ABC News
obtained those messages, in which Foley discussed sexual acts with the
second former page, a scandal mushroomed on Capitol Hill, and Foley
resigned.
The source who provided the e-mails that ABC News first reported on its
blog, denied sharing the more explicit IMs.
So while the primary source of the e-mails which kicked off the scandal
was a House GOP aide, the trigger of the news coverage was the weblog.
The creator of stopsexpreditors.blogspot.com is unknown. An interview
request e-mailed to the site was not returned.

it's the party of Lincoln and that things such a principles and ethics
still exist.
