I think it is fair to say that so many of the members of the US citizenry are grateful for the efforts of the FBI to investigate into only one, of the numerous areas within our own borders for our sake and protection. Having the feeling that something or someone is looking out for the innocent matters a great deal.
I applaud the FBI, for searching for some answers for all of us!!

Makes one wonder: if all the pages (Republican, that is – word is that Dem pages weren’t clued in to this) were warned about Foley, how could the rest of Florida’s Congressional delegation be unaware? Katherine Harris knew nothing? Adam Putnam? After all, Putnam often cites his ties to GOP House leadership. So how could he not have known? And if he knew, why did he remain silent, if not to avoid a scandal in the GOP ranks? This year, I’m voting for an independent.

There seem to be several people on this thread laboring under the delusion that Gerry Studds is still in Congress.
The same people seem to have forgotten that Dan Crane, a Republican Congressman, was also censured by the House for sex with a 17-year-old page (female, in Mr. Crane’s case).
Neither Mr. Studds nor Mr. Crane resigned. Mr. Crane, however, was not re-elected.

All the comments re: Republicans or The Speaker of the House are BS. The fact is, there are bad people who do bad things regardless of sex, race and political party.

Unfortunately, this appears all too common amoong America!
Clue in people, it is not defined by the side of the isle that you sit!
There was Gary Studds (D)that seduced a young male page,defied the House when it censured him and was re-elected several times. …Then you got Mel Reynolds (D) who suduced a 16 year old campaign worker. These men need to be in prison! A sickness that has become the norm! OUTRAGOUS!

As high school principle I am required BY LAW to report any suspected child abuse reported to me. Aparently once again the powers that be in the U.S. Government aren’t held to the same laws the rest of us are.
