AFTER Reynolds found out about Foley, he rec'd $100,000 from him.

AND did anybody elese receive money from him? Might be interesting to look into.


Meanwhile, Rep. Tom Reynolds (R-NY) accepted $100k from Foley in back July.


Ben Smith:

Reynolds's personal PAC, TOMPAC, wrote Foley a check for $5,000 on May 10, 2006. (You can see the filing here.)

According to the AP, Reynolds was told of the allegations against Foley "sometime this spring." I put in a request to NRCC spokesman Carl Forti for a more precise date.

UPDATE: Also: On July 27, 2006, the NRCC, which Reynolds chairs, accepted an unusually large contribution of $100,000 from Foley. Hard to imagine something of that size just slipping past the chairman.

1. Bribery? Gee, ya think???

3. Could just as easily been blackmail.

$100,000 can buy a lot of silence.
