A Scandal About Parental Rights Centered On Foley
U.S. News complains about the House ethics committee and it lack of action against Denis Hastert with these words
They are half right in that evidence shows Hastert failed to act aggressively in taking care of the matter but other evidence implementing other members of both the Republican and Democrat caucuses existed that U.S. News does not mention.
It seems that Kolbe is a homosexual himself and may have allowed his sexual orientation to effect his judgment. He was probably looking at it as gay bashing and not pedophilia. Kobe is retiring and his handpicked replacement lost the primary to Randy Graf who was himself defeated in the general elections.
The third element of this situation is the Democrats such as Rahm Emanuel who knew about the situation in 2005 but did not release that information until it was political expedient. It seems that Emanuel like Hastert has a short memory for events when such would benefit him as he is on record as saying he did not know of the affair in question in 2005..
Kolbe resigned before the scandal broke and the Republican voters rejected his hand picked successor so not much could be done to him. Hastert loss his position in leadership which could also be considered a repercussion of the Foley scandal. Emanuel was persuaded by Nancy Pelosi from running for the Majority Whip but took the Democrat Caucus Chairman position as a consolation prize. Did these gentlemen suffer these repercussions for unrelated reasons or did God step in. I can not say since if God did step in he did not make his presence known where I can prove it.
There is probably more about this case than I have been able ascertain as this time.

Once again the House ethics committee has failed to take a positive step in sending a clear message to the American people.
Instead, the bipartisan report on the Mark Foley scandal was a study in pitiful cowardice.
The committee recommended no penalty for anyone, including outgoing Speaker Dennis Hastert. The evidence was clear that Hastert and his aides knew that Foley's seamy conduct was open to further investigation.
They are half right in that evidence shows Hastert failed to act aggressively in taking care of the matter but other evidence implementing other members of both the Republican and Democrat caucuses existed that U.S. News does not mention.
Kolbe is described in a House Ethics Committee report as being too friendly towards the high-school-age pages, who serve as congressional interns.
The ethics report also faults Kolbe for not reading an inappropriate instant message sent by Foley to a former Arizona page who complained to Kolbe in 2001 about that matter.
It seems that Kolbe is a homosexual himself and may have allowed his sexual orientation to effect his judgment. He was probably looking at it as gay bashing and not pedophilia. Kobe is retiring and his handpicked replacement lost the primary to Randy Graf who was himself defeated in the general elections.

sheesh the whole thing reeks of immorality and deception doesnt it.......
Its a witch hunt against Republicans again. That is all. They'll single out those whose downfall will aid them, while ignoring those in their own party. (Dems) The Republicans are notoriously better at holding their leaders accountable than Democrats.
