WASHINGTON D.C. -- The Florida Department of Law Enforcement said it's examining whether former U.S. Representative Mark Foley's communications with teenage congressional pages violated state law.

FDLE spokesman Tom Berlinger said it's "an early stage, a precursor to a possible criminal investigation." He said the state attorney general's office has offered assistance.

The White House and Democratic leaders in Congress are calling for a criminal probe into former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley's sexually suggestive electronic messages to teenage boys.


Foley, of Florida, said Monday that he has checked himself into a rehabilitation facility and is undergoing treatment for alcoholism.

1. Like when Rosemary Woods "checked" Nixon's tapes? Whoops! I erased them!

Gotta hand it to the GOP - they're covering all their bases to locate and shut up every possible victim. Private hotline to GOP leaders; Gonzalez' FBI; and Jeb Bush's personal police force.

3. agree, they are "examining them" WTF does that mean?

Are there more that we don't know about yet or are they looking for the same ones? I'd bet there are more that will never see the light of day.
