We need to support John. He's a witness to the Foleygate stuff. See his other posts at American Blog about the Foley Scandal. I think he is being or has been deposed on it.

get the story over here:

3. Why don't you contact the FBI FIRST?
Do you have the ability to do investigative reporting? After telling the FBI what you've heard, Hastert can't hurt you, but if you could continue investigating the rumors, you just may be able to get the validation you need, or prove those rumors false!

5. Tucker Carlson was on The Chris Matthews Show at 6:30 am
this morning. He said the same thing, another Congressman will be revealed in the page scandal, he is a heterosexual. The transcript is not available yet to get Tucker's exact words.

So as not to confuse anyone, I just caught that I posted a dupe. Can the mods combine it for me? Thanks but please, leave my apologies to Jefferson_Dem. Thanks!

Peace and Love but not page style!!!

10. According to this blog:
http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/

it is none other than Hastert himself. If true this will be interesting how the WH will handle this since they orchestrated Hastert's decision to stay on as speaker.

What a tangled web!

7. The FBI reporting option is a good one, then call Hastert's Office and...
...tell them you made a report to the FBI that involves a member of his staff.

This will do two things. First, the FBI is not going to reveal the substance of what you reported to them without validating the information first. It would hurt their investigation and reputation. It might dovetail with what they are already investigating. Second, it will place Hastert on notice that there is more which may come out regarding his staff, and that it could come out at any time, and he cannot silence it since you already reported it to the FBI.

I think in that case Hastert would go ahead and try to be first to disclose any negative information regarding a member of his staff, if it indeed is valid and likely to come out anyway.

You did not tell Hastert what the rumor was, but you sure as heck put him on notice that there was a matter he needed to address with his staff, and there is now a concrete notification date when you alerted him --so he cannot say he had no idea.

11. Now that Fordham has spent three hours with the FBI,
that's loosened up a lot of tight lips. Palmer is one changing underwear regularly now I'll bet.
