More Foley pedophile-gate

According to CNN.com, the FBI was given e-mails that were sent from Rep. Mark Foley to a congressional page.

The Washington watchdog group that first published the inappropriate e-mails between Foley and a Louisiana teenager said Wednesday that it told the FBI in July about Foley's communications. Those messages were deemed by a congressman who oversees the page program inappropriate but not sexually explicit.

Apparently the FBI said there wasn't enough information, or names or e-mail addresses to pursue the matter

CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan disputed that account, saying the FBI was given the teen's full e-mail address July 21. CREW received the e-mails that day from "a third party who had gotten them from a congressional staffer," she said.

. . .

"The agent called me to follow up to say, 'So, these are e-mails from Mark Foley?' And I said, 'Yes.' And that was the end of our interaction," she said.

And this was an attempt by the Democrats to smear the Republicans on the eve of the elections? Please, we're not all that stupid. It sounds to me like the Republican leadership wasn't the only ones trying to cover this up.
