Speaker Hastert and his staff still claim that the first they heard of Mark Foley’s page problem was in late 2005. Yet since last Friday a series of published reports have come out that have left that story in tatters. A bunch came out over the weekend. And they can be hard to keep track of. So we’ve put together a brief chronological narrative of what we now know and the order of each revelation.
Hastert now figures he can brazen this one out because there are so many stories floating around that people won’t line them up in order and realize what they show.
Read it over and it’s hard to come to any conclusion but that that Hastert and especially his Chief of Staff Scott Palmer have been caught in a lie.
If you’re following this story, definitely read this post. Then ask yourself how it is Scott Palmer still has a job.
