Why have they not seized Foley's computers??? What kind of FBI

[Francine Frensky]

investigation is this??? White man's justice?? Rich man's justice?

Somebody needs to start asking this question. This is the longest and slowest beginning to an FBI investigation in the history of the US.

1. They were quick to snatch that blue dress, though.

[Kutjara]

2. They're following standard procedure:

Never mess with a Congressman whose political affiliation begins with the letter "R."

[NVMojo]

3. cover up!!

4. They're just giving Comrade Bushevik time to purge his hard drive

of what is almost certainly a plethora of homosexual kiddie porn.

5. I asked this question yesterday.

I don't understand why this wasn't done. Foley's lawyer said that he and Foley were dedicated to keeping all the evidence in his office, home and on computers safe and sound. Sure they were.

7. i couldn't help but laugh at that too

i mean really:

"yah, that computer has some pretty bad stuff on it, but we better not touch it in case the FBI wants to see it."

WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT ARE THESE PEOPLE GETTING AWAY WITH?

[Francine Frensky]

10. This is an absolute outrage. I'm sickened that Foley is going to walk

once he gets out of rehab just like that sicko Mark Karr will be back teaching school in a few months.

As a mother, this is an outrage.

[elehhhhna]

12. He's not IN rehab & he logged on YESTERDAY.

13. wtf??!!!

:wtf:

[DoYouEverWonder]

6. Some legal group

turned over the original emails to the FBI over three months ago. Apparently, they didn't do anything with the information. If Foley was a regular citizen, he would be in jail, his home and his office searched, his computers confiscated and his friends and family questioned at this point.

8. For the same reason our forces never covered any buildings in Iraq but the

Oil Ministry.

[MADem]

9. Well, the Clerk of the House runs the IT crap, and that whole staff

is GOP tools. That's why Foley's website disappeared almost contemporaneously with the announcement of his resignation....

11. Welcome to Munchkin Land.

"We represent the Lollipop Guild
The Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild
And in the name of the Lollipop Guild
We welcome you to Munchkin Land
Tra la la la la la la la la la la la..."

:D

14. I've been asking since Friday

If this were you or I, our computers would have been long gone from our homes or offices.

This again is not incompetence, it is willingly allowing what ever needs to be done in order to protect whomever needs to be protected.

The minute I heard his lawyer yesterday saying that Foley has been asked not to erase or tamper with his computer, but that the computers had not been confiscated, I started to smell coverup in the air.

Questions to Jeb and Charlie Crist need to be asked.

[hippiechick]

15. I just heard on NBC news, they did today.

Unless Foley's already got the hard drive scrubbed, there should still be some dirt left for the FBI to find ...

[Imagevision]

16. Gonzo-boy doesn't want anyone messin with Foley's HDD

[acmejack]

17. The kind that takes five years to figure out it was home made anthrax

Anyone interested in a bridge?

[Junkdrawer]

18. You have to understand. Most thorough disk wipes take days to finish...

It would be impolite to seize a Republican's computer without giving the owner a chance to thoroughly wipe it first.

[MadAsHell]

19. Not to throw wet blankets or anything but ...

I suppose they don't need to seize the computers because the smtp, pop, and proxy servers that all the mail, messages, and internet access would be routed through already would be in the custody of the Feds.

[Lerkfish]

21. supposedly, AOL has all that stuff and is already making it available

to the feds....oh....wait....nevermind, that was the quakers and the peace protestors. I forgot there's a loophole for republican sexual predators.

[leftofthedial]

20. repuke FBI

repuke "justice"
