ABC’s blog has updated their site in a minor way…. Someone will be eating crow soon I do believe..
This message was dated April 2003, at approximately 7 p.m., according to the message time stamp at a time when the teen had been 18 for just six weeks. (Some sharp online readers spotted that the boy was technically legal when the exchange took place).
Meet Jordan Edmund One Mark Foley Instant Messanger
Now that that is out of the way I will reveal how I (and a few others) discovered Jordan Edmund was one of the former house pages that participated in sexually explicit instant messages with Rep. Mark Foley. Also I will explain to you why I believe it necessary to reveal Jordan Edmund’s identity. You may not agree with my decision, but I hope to explain my reasoning by the end of this story.
On the evening of September 30th I did what many people did and I read the instant messages released by Brian Ross at ABC NEWS. Here is the link to the pdf of the instant messages. When I had finished reading the messages I felt disgust toward what Foley did. Below is a picture of the last 3 lines of that instant message.
ABC ONLINE GLITCH LEADS TO IDENTITY OF FOLEY ACCUSER
FEATURED IM EXCHANGE WAS WITH 18 YEAR OLD
Wed Oct 04 2006 20:32:06 ET
A posting on ABCNEWS.COM of an unredacted instant message sessions between Rep. Mark Foley and a former congressional page has exposed the identity of the now 21 year-old accuser.
The website PASSIONATE AMERICA detailed the startling exposure late Wednesday.
ABCNEWS said in a statement: “We go to great lengths to prevent the names of alleged sex crime victims from being revealed. On Friday there was a very brief technical glitch on our site which was overridden immediately. It is possible that during that very brief interval a screen name could have been captured. Reviews of the site since then show no unredacted screen names.”
SEX CHAT WAS WITH 18 YEAR OLD
On Tuesday ABC news released a high-impact instant message exchange between full-length and, as ABC explained, a young man “under the age of 18.”
ABC headlined the story: “New Foley Instant Messages; Had Internet Sex While Awaiting House Vote”
But upon reviewing the records, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, the young man was in fact over the age of 18 at the time of the exchange.
A network source explains exchanges with the young man and disgraced former Congressman Foley took place before and after the 18th birthday.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackFoley’s a pervert and resigned. Case closed. Seems to be a ton of them in government. Both parties.
… nothing new here, it’s just politics as usual. The Dems screaming the loudest know where the ’skeletons’ are in the Dem closet. Where is their understanding & tolerance when the shoe is on the other foot. HYPOCRITES all, both sides of the isle.
It’s a bad situation, inappropriate regardless.
Yes, this crap happens on both sides of the aisle, without a doubt. But we should not ignore that the Republican party maintains, consistently, to be above and beyond such immorality.
I’m disturbed by what seems to be Foley’s maschocistic behavior in regard to his own sexual orientation. He voted against laws granting gays & lesbians rights. He is part of a political party that consistently demonstrates its disgust and disregard for issues affecting the LGBT community–a community he seems to be a part of, like it or not. Perhaps if he wasn’t so closeted, so afraid and full of self-hatred, he could have explored his sexual identity in a way that was healthy for both him and the children working in his office.
