Let the coverup get started/Who else will take the hit for this?
http://waynemadsenreport.com:

October 3, 2006 -- WMR has learned from informed sources in the Justice Department that the salacious e-mails from Rep. Mark Foley were leaked to ABC News by career Justice Department prosecutors and FBI agents who are incensed that Attorneys General John Ashcroft and Alberto Gonzales covered up the House page scandal for political reasons. The back story of Pagegate is that there was a criminal conspiracy by the top political leadership of the Justice Department to cover up the predatory activities of Foley and other GOP members of Congress since at least 2003 and, likely, as early as 2001.

Other informed sources in the nation's capital report that Pagegate will soon implicate a number of GOP staffers in both the House and the Senate who intimidated and pressured male pages into inappropriate sexual relationships. One source confided that the staff members' contact with pages was "more egregious" than Foley's behavior.

AND:

October 3, 2006 -- Informed sources in Tallahassee, Florida have told WMR that Governor Jeb Bush was fully aware of ex-Rep. Mark Foley's conduct with underage male pages but sat on the information to protect Foley and another top GOP Florida official, Attorney General Charlie Crist, who is currently running for governor to replace Bush. Today, Jeb Bush said he had not previously known about Foley's behavior with the pages before being informed by House Speaker Dennis Hastert in a letter dated October 1, 2006. Bush said he was "dismayed and shocked to learn about Congressman Foley's unacceptable behavior."

However, according to our Florida sources, the FBI and Justice Department informed the Florida Governor's office, Attorney General Crist, and the Florida AG's Child Protection Cybercrime Unit at least a year ago about Foley's predatory emails and instant messages. WMR was told that Crist's conflict-of-interest in the case stems from Crist's and Foley's involvement in gay sex parties, some of which took place during 2003 in trendy Coconut Grove, Florida.

1. Is this a trustworthy source?
If so - wow.... Just wow.

Earlier today I saw that MSM was reporting Kindasleezy DID get the terrorist talk by Tenet in early July 2001. AND Asscroft recently stated that he wished HE had seen the report - and lo - it came out that Condi told Tenet to brief Asscroft AND there is a record of that briefing taking place. Finally in Att Gen Asscrofts submitted budget of Sept 10, 2001 he gutted funding for anti-terrorism......

This stuff is serious, I hope that this betrayal and incompetence is not lost amidst the feeding frenzy over Foley.....

2. Crist will do nothing to investigate this ...
... because of his run for Florida governor, and questions about his own sexual orientation, as I posted when this first broke. Not that I care about his sexual orientation, but he doesn't want those issues raised now.
