Quite obviously a setup



This is an image posted as part of this story on Americablog by John Aravosis called GOP congressman admits to, says nothing wrong with, creepy email exchange with 16-year-old page posted mid-afternoon September 28 on Americablog and September 24 on Stopsexpredators.blogspot.com.

Other emails that look suspiciously fabricated appeared on September 21 - and one of the senders was W_H_Intern. The rest are a variation of that theme. WHInternNow had posted on DailyKOS in September 5 about Foley and underage interns (as reported previously).

Look at the timeline - July 11 and 21 - stories about Foley and sex predators.

(Coincidentally, July 21, 2006 was the day that Foley's child sex predator protection bill passed Congress. It was also the day that CREW forwarded the FBI the emails dated in July/August 2005.)

The first post on Stopsexpredators.blogspot.com appears on July 28, 2006.

This is the blog, that "broke" the story to ABC. Avarosis and Rogers have set this up since 2003 and the evidence is stored right on their blogs!

Oh ABC, say it isn't so?

Update: Of interest: Avarosis reported on the ABC story within the hour of it breaking on Sept. 28th. However, his Americablog post of that day did not contain the ABC-released redacted PDF files of the emails.

It contained the unredacted image files and did not offer the source for them. However, he did state: "I received copies of these emails several months ago, but couldn't confirm their veracity so I did not report on them."

(They appeared that way on Sept. 24th on StopSexPredators.blogspot.com).
