Default Even more revelations: repub staff member warned pages five years ago about Foley

Quote:
A Republican staff member warned congressional pages five years ago to watch out for Congressman Mark Foley, according to a former page.

Matthew Loraditch, a page in the 2001-2002 class, told ABC News he and other pages were warned about Foley by a supervisor in the House Clerk's office.

Loraditch, the president of the Page Alumni Association, said the pages were told "don't get too wrapped up in him being too nice to you and all that kind of stuff."

Staff members at the House Clerk's office did not return calls seeking comment.

Some of the sexually explicit instant messages that led to Foley's abrupt resignation Friday were sent to pages in Loraditch's class.

Pages report to either Republican or Democratic supervisors, depending on the political party of the member of Congress who nominate them for the page program.

Several Democratic pages tell ABC News they received no such warnings about Foley.

Loraditch says that some of the pages who "interacted" with Foley were hesitant to report his behavior because "members of Congress, they've got the power." Many of the pages were hoping for careers in politics and feared Foley might seek retribution.

Loraditch runs the alumni association for the U.S. House Page Program, and he is deeply concerned about the future effects this scandal could have on a program that he sees as a valuable educational experience for teens.

Good to see the repugs were watching over the innocents on the staff. Un-fucking-believable.

five years of cover-ups? Holy Christ this is getting juicier by the hour! I want to see more high-up Republicans exposed/involved, and more revelations right up to election day with so many heads off and rolling all over the place it will look like 3am at an all night bowling alley!

They're in heavy spin at the moment, denying, denying, denying. And to think just a few days ago they were saying that this was all a smear campaign by the Dems.

apparently most of the repuke leadership is toast.. GOP operatives willing to give anonymous comments are saying that they're eating each other on the hill, and that it's all going to burn down.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

"US media revealed a possible romantic link with a young congressional worker and that warnings about Mr Foley's conduct went as far back as 1995."

Eleven years back! Just gets worse.
