F.B.I. Caught Lying to Reporters About Foley Child
Sex Predator Scandal

CREW DEMANDS D.O.J. I.G. INVESTIGATE F.B.I. COVER-UP
OF ITS INACTION ON FOLEY EMAILS SENT BY CREW
Washington, D.C. -- Citizens for Responsibility and
Ethics in Washington
(C.R.E.W.) wrote to the Department of Justice (DOJ)
Inspector General’s
(I.G.) office today to ask for an investigation into
why the Federal Bureau of Investigation (F.B.I.) has fabricated and
disseminated a cover-up story as to why it never investigated the
Foley emails sent to it by C.R.E.W.
CBS News has reported that according to the F.B.I.
when C.R.E.W. gave the Bureau the original set of emails from Rep. Mark
Foley to a former House page, they were "heavily redacted." The F.B.I.
is also claiming that it came back to CREW and asked for more
information so that it could follow up, but that CREW refused to provide
anything further.
Reporters from several other news organizations have
repeated this allegation. The F.B.I. is lying.
On Monday, October 2, C.R.E.W. sent a letter to the
D.O.J. I.G.’s office, attaching exact copies of the emails C.R.E.W.
had sent to the F.B.I. on July 21, 2006. Both the former page’s name
and the person to whom the page forwarded Rep. Foley’s emails were
clearly visible.
Moreover, after C.R.E.W. sent the emails to the
F.B.I., C.R.E.W.’s only subsequent contact with the Bureau was one telephone
call from the special agent to whom C.R.E.W. had sent the material
confirming that the emails were from Rep. Foley. C.R.E.W. had no further
contact with the F.B.I.
In contrast with this new explanation for failing to
investigate the Foley matter, The Washington Post has reported that an
unnamed F.B.I. official stated that the Bureau decided not to
investigate after concluding that the emails "did not rise
to the level of criminal activity."
Melanie Sloan, C.R.E.W.'s executive director said
today, "the F.B.I. cannot have it both ways; either it failed to
investigate the Foley emails because they did not rise
to a level of criminal activity or
because it did not have adequate information to do so. Pick one.
"Attorney General Gonzales has told the public
repeatedly that the investigation and prosecution of those
who sexually exploit children is a top priority.
We are outraged that the F.B.I. failed to investigate
Rep. Foley and is now blaming others for its inaction.
"It is time for all of those who had knowledge about
Rep. Foley's conduct to step up and take responsibility for leaving
a sexual predator on the loose."

It can now be reported that the reason why Rumsfeld and Rice ignored the July 10,
2001 warnings of George Tenet, then CIA Director and the U.S. State Dept. is
that Bin Laden was not only in the UAE for dialysis treatment in June/July
2001; but was there on a secret mission on behalf of the U.S. NSA
to sell Promis Software to the Emir of the UAE in Dubai.
