Perverted Politician Foley Freed

I'm outraged, I'm disgusted, but that's AmeriKa in 2008.

Also type "Mazzilli" into my blog search and see what comes up.

Looks like you got perverts from both the left and right, 'eh?

One more reason all incumbents should get the boot.

"Fla. authorities say they can't prove Foley case" by Brian Skoloff, Associated Press Writer | September 19, 2008

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. --Former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley won't face state or federal criminal charges for sending salacious computer messages to underage male pages, in part because authorities couldn't prove the authenticity of the chats, officials said Friday.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement also noted in an investigative report that too much time had passed since the February 2003 messages to bring any charges.

Unbelievable!!!

Justice Department spokeswoman Laura Sweeney also confirmed that the former congressman would not face any federal charges.

In addition to not being able to authentic the messages, Florida authorities noted that a three-year statute of limitations on any potential crimes had expired in 2006.

"However, it is important to note that even if the statute of limitations had not run, there would be no prosecutable case. There are no original records of the 'instant messages' received by Edmund," the report said.

Florida authorities noted the case took a long time to close, in part because Foley refused to allow investigators to examine his congressional computer hard drives. The computers and their contents are protected as privileged material, and only Foley could release them.

An attorney for Edmund said the former page, who now lives in Oklahoma City, would have no comment. However, he told investigators he never engaged in sexual activity with Foley, despite once being offered oral sex from the congressman during a page reunion.

Foley represented parts of Palm Beach County for 12 years in Congress, building a national reputation as an advocate for tougher laws against child sexual predators.

All while he was preying on them!!!

Yeah, you can be a SICK FUCK but still be a politician!!
