Even when we thought the misery had ended last November, we still are not done with the 109th Congress just yet. Florida officials are waging a legal battle with Congressional lawyers in hope of getting them to turn over former Republican Congressman Mark Foley's computer files:
Lawyers for the U.S. House of Representatives have denied Florida law enforcement officials access to former Congressman Mark Foley's office computers. Investigators believe Foley may have used the machines to send illegal sexually explicit messages to former congressional pages.
Instant messages reviewed by ABC News last October indicated the one-time Florida representative interrupted a House vote to engage in Internet sex with a high school student who had served as a congressional page and had been 18 for just six weeks at the time of the exchange.
Yet another reminder of how pathetically awful the last Congress was.
Despite Fox News labeling Foley as a Democrat after the scandal broke, voters in that heavily-weighted Republican district were fed up and elected a Democrat.
Back to the current investigation. Congressional lawyers claim they already checked out the files themselves and did not find any graphic photos, and see no need to hand them over. This comes as Florida state officials prepare to wrap up their year-long investigation into the Mark Foley scandal.
Great! Some closure to this disgusting case.
