Comments on: Privilege = Private Law https://whynow.dumka.us/2006/09/30/privilege-private-law/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Mon, 02 Oct 2006 04:28:53 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2006/09/30/privilege-private-law/comment-page-1/#comment-17937 Mon, 02 Oct 2006 04:28:53 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/2006/09/30/privilege-private-law/#comment-17937 Steve, it’s looking more and more like they have been ignoring this issue since 2001, and people in the Clerk’s office knew about it. There is no way the leadership didn’t know, and they should have convinced Foley to leave years ago.

This looks like a real criminal case is going to develop, and about time.

Clinton had sex with an adult. Period. However sleazy one may think his behavior, he was not chatting up kids to whom he had a responsibility as a holder of high office.

I am concerned with Foley’s hitting on a kid, but I am at least as concerned with Boehner’s (and apparently Hastert’s) covering the matter up. What kind of Majority Leader… what kind of Speaker, if that turns out to be true… covers up for a sexual predator?

When you get right down to it, the question is simple: can one trust the current Republican congressional leadership to protect youthful pages from Republican sexual predators in Congress? Yes or no? The late former Speaker Tip O’Neill took it plenty seriously in 1982. Are Hastert and Boehner equally honorable, or not?

Foley might have been introduced to Rick by Joe Scarborough or Jeff Miller, as they both served with Foley as part of the Florida Congressional delegation.

Joe would be the more likely to know both Foley and Outzen well enough to introduce them to each other, as in addition to being an attorney, Joe has been involved in local media enterprises.

The Pensacola Beach Blog might know, or you could ask Rick, he has a blog with comments, and a post on this story.

In case you’ve missed the point, Foley is a fan of young boys and spends a A LOT of time on the Internet chatting up teenagers, not going out to listen to local bands with a Baby Boomer. That’s why he had to resign.
