Trandahl Knew Of Foley Issues In 2000-2001
Filed under: — Robert Farrow @ 10:25 pm

Retiring, and gay, Arizona Rep Jim Kolbe has clarified his position on when he learned of issues with Foley and Pages, and what he did at the time. And as I suspected yesterday, Kolbe did notify Jeff Trandahl, House Clerk, and Foley’s office (that would likely include Kirk Fordham). Given the fact that Trandahl and Fordham are, we believe, also gay it is not unreasonable to think these two attempted to deal with Rep Foley without bringing the event to Hastert and his leadership. Remember that the Republicans are tolerant, but not enthusiastically supportive of same sex relationsips. We can all see that in their support for civil unions but not gay marriages.

So the ‘cover up’ of Foley’s problems may simply be within the gay community of staff and representatives on the Hill - not House leadership per say, since Trandahl is considered part of the leadership. Now we can look at who tried to hide the information from authorities and the real House leadership for more than a year when the story of the LA Page was leaked in Oct-Nov of last year.

As for those who hid Foley’s problems from the House leadership problem, Hastert is making the future clear to them:

“However, you know, in 20/20 hindsight, probably you could do everything a little bit better,” he said. “But if there was a problem, if there was a cover-up, then we should find that out through the investigation process. They’ll be under oath and we’ll find out.

“If they did cover something up, then they should not have their jobs,” he said.

Now, if the Democrats make the same pledge we can finish up Foleygate and get on with our elections.
from StrataSphere

Rep Jim Kolbe has implicated (as I predicted) House Clerk Jeff Trandahlm and Foley Chief Of Staff Kirk Fordham of not alerting Hastert and the broader house leadership regarding issues with Foley in 2000-2001.

In addition, it is now established a Democrat operative - male - was shopping the Foley and LA Page story from November 2005 through July 2006 - but apparently never once contacted law enforcement or house leaders to the pending problem with Foley.

The blogosphere will have to do the heavy lifting in getting the facts out on this story, and undoing the damage done by the democrat partisans who hid this story from our government while shopping it around to the media.

  1. Protecting The Kids?

    So we have Nancy Pelosi sputtering idiotic comments like so:
    “We want to know why the Republicans chose to protect Mark Foley’s political career rather than protect the children who were in our charge.”
    But no word from her about her…

Ravens Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

The Ravens are banking that Jim Zorn will continue the development of Joe Flacco into an elite franchise quarterback.

Zorn, who was the head coach for the Washington Redskins the past two seasons, was hired by Baltimore to become its quarterbacks coach on Jan. 30.

Although Zorn struggled as a head coach, the Ravens were impressed by his experience: 11 seasons as an NFL quarterback, 11 seasons as a respected NFL quarterback coach and a familiarity with their offense.

"That's a great resume for us," Harbaugh said.

Zorn replaces Hue Jackson, who joined the Oakland Raiders as their offensive coordinator. Baltimore chose Zorn because he has a history of mentoring young quarterbacks like Flacco.

As the Detroit Lions' quarterbacks coach in 1998, he was...
