If anyone needs a poster boy for the legal haves and have nots in this country, Mark Foley is that boy.
No pun intended.
CNN is reporting that the investigation regarding Foley will be closed today.
Likely while we are all sitting at happy hour, thinking of the weekend.
Foley's attorneys had denied that he ever engaged in sexual activity with minors.The Republican, who represented Florida's 16th District in Congress, resigned in September 2006 after suggestive e-mails and instant messages he had written to teenage House pages surfaced in the media.
Florida agency spokeswoman Heather Smith said last month that investigators hoped to finish their work within two weeks and that results of the investigation would be turned over to State Attorney Bill Eddins in Pensacola, Florida, where Foley was at the time he is said to have communicated with a young man.
But the agency said the House of Representatives had blocked efforts to review files on computers Foley used in his congressional office. Smith said the agency was working with the FBI and Foley's lawyers to review the contents of those computers, which are federally owned.
Foley's attorneys had denied that he ever engaged in sexual activity with minors.
"I have no comment," Foley's attorney David Roth said Thursday when asked about the reported closure of the Florida investigation. "I cannot confirm or deny your report."
A federal investigation of Foley has been closed for some time, according to sources.
I'll mention that to all those guys ambushed on To Catch a Predator.
My guess? Foley will attempt a run for office before too long.
We can only hope.
