Eleven GOPers Fingered in Foley Cover-Up

Roll Call's John Bresnahan reports:

As of Saturday evening, nearly a dozen House GOP lawmakers and staffers have acknowledged that they knew of the initial batch of non-sexually explicit messages from Foley to a 16-year-old former House page, some of them for a year or more. These include [House Speaker Dennis] Hastert [(IL)]; Majority Leader John Boehner (Ohio); National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Tom Reynolds (N.Y.); Reps. Rodney Alexander (La.) and John Shimkus (Ill.); Mike Stokke, the Speaker’s deputy chief of staff; Ted Van Der Meid, Hastert’s counsel; Paula Nowakowski, Boehner’s chief of staff; Jeff Trandahl, the former Clerk of the House; and another Hastert aide and Alexander’s chief of staff, according to public statements and GOP insiders.

the initial batch of non-sexually explicit messages

by this is meant the "birthday gift" messages?

These people, then, also have no place in our government.

In 1947, the UN created a perpetual war and named it Israel.

What a fucking outrage.

How many confused sixteen and seventeen year olds did this congressman take for a ride while these assholes stood by and asked no questions?

Fucking outrageous.

the law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal bread.

All of these aholes should be thrown out on their ears immediately. Hopefully the folks in their respective states will take action against these predators and protectors of predators.

If you're expecting to find any justice in The New Judeo-American Century, I'm afraid you're going to be badly disappointed.

All eleven of them should be run out of town on a rail.

Correct...

Government is a profit making, power exercising establishment.

The Justice system itself has become the "legal" system.

Wonder if they'll all use the now popular and proven method of going into drug/alcohol rehab to weather the storm?

If hastert goes, then they have to get a new speaker....he'd have to call a special session.

Instead of "Eleven GOPers Fingered," the headline should be "Pages Fingered."
