Foley Story Puzzle Pieces Falling Into Place

I'm getting overtired of the hysterics and active disinformation surrounding the Mark Foley story. So it's encouraging to see the puzzle pieces starting to fall into place.

The Washington Times is now reporting that the FBI is focusing on Jordan Edmund, a 21-year-old former page currently working on the gubernatorial campaign of Ernest Istook, Republican in Oklahoma.

It was Edmund, who is suspected of engaging in online chats with Congressman Foley as a "prank" and then sharing the Instant Messages with other young politicos. Edmund hired a high-priced defense Attorney, Stephen Jones, who represented convicted terrorist Timothy McVeigh. When Attorney Jones was asked by CNN about the "prank" allegation he denied it, but went on to say he is "not ruling it in or out."

Well the FBI should be able to sort that one out pretty quick. Just take Edmund down to Guantanamo Bay and hand him the room service menu. With
the rich diet down there, he'll talk quickly rather than risk losing that sleek bod which apparently got Mark Foley all hot and bothered.

As for how the story took off from the prank, Flopping Aces does his usual excellent roundup of news sources and lays out the pieces of the puzzle inviting readers to see the whole picture.

He links to the House Page Alumni web site, which was taken offline shortly after the scandal broke. But just as Instant Messages never die, neither do web pages. This site was stored in Google here. And if you dig a bit deeper, in one of the forum pages called "The Book", presumably about the experience of being a page on Capitol Hill, you find Jordan Edmund wanting to know what happened to the book and admitting that he had contact with the author sometime in 2005.

It turns out, "The Book" was a work in progress by one Ms. Robin Katsaros, whose son Christopher was a page about the same time as Edmund and was appointed by House MINORITY Leader Nancy Pelosi (DEMOCRAT-SAN FRANCISCO). (read about Pelosi, who cares about children?, marching in the SF Pride Parade three spots behind the founder of the North American Man Boy Love Association, or NAMBLA, an association promoting pedophilia).

In addition to contact with Pelosi, Ms. Katsaros has some pretty strong left-wing leanings. She apparently participated in the nationwide "House Party" in July 2005 where now disgraced Ambassador Joe Wilson and Congressman John Conyers continued to push their multi-year attempt to defraud the American people in regard to the Wilson/Plame CIA Leak and other moonbat hate-Bush theories.

There's another connection to the Wilson/Plame CIA Leak fraud in that the group known as Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington or CREW which has played a central role in the Foley matter also continues to back a lawsuit by the Wilson/Plame despite the fact that by now, everyone but CREW knows the Wilsons are lying .

CREW's founder, Melanie Sloan is a former staffer for Congressman John Conyers, key Dem moonbat along with Wilson and the man who has promised to impeach President Bush if Dems take control of the House of Representatives.

Few Remaining Puzzle Pieces Yet to Fall Into Place

Considering that there is a link between Edmund who may have been inciting Mr. Foley and some far left San Francisco kooks with ties to Nancy Pelosi, it's no surprise Pelosi didn't want former FBI Director Louis Freeh to handle the House of Representatives internal investigation.

It's entirely plausible that Edmund passed the "prank" IM's to Ms. Katsaros through her son. And from Katsaros to CREW wouldn't take much more effort.

But what is still unknown are the full extent of the links between other various players in this saga. Who put together the shady little web site: Stop Sex Predators? Radar Online describes it as "a pseudo-vigilante blog filled with plagiarized, hastily-assembled posts, which no one seems to have heard of, visited, or linked to before last week, and whose operator has a suspiciously savvy grasp of the news cycle. In other words, a blog whose sole raison d'etre seems to have been to get the Foley ball rolling."

We're we all supposed to believe that these emails, followed by the Instant Messages just all of a sudden popped out of nowhere?

With Democrat scandalmongers freed from having to develop a positive agenda to offer voters this fall, it's unlikely the scandal will disappear soon. And it remains unclear whether the true actions and motives of those who worked to turn a few inappropriate emails into a salacious non-sex sex scandal will be revealed before the election.
