Passionate America who broke the story of , is now getting threats:

“I turned the comment off because someone is trying to bring one of my children into this. My son is a MINOR unlike Jordan Edmund. I have been on several radio shows this morning, including Glenn Beck. If you would like to help me you can please click the Make a Donation button on the right side bar. The hate mail has been pouring in and a lot of threats have been made. I can take the heat, but my family is very nervous. I will have more on this story soon. I have much more to say about this. I want to thank everyone for their support.”

Let me just say a few things. First, for those like Michelle Malkin and others who are calling WB’s story “hit pieces” and part of a conservative mob, let me again say, “Hold your water”. Edmund’s has hired the same attorney, a defense attorney, who defended the perp who until 9/11 had the record for the greatest terrorist attack on American soil, Timothy McVeigh.

A civil attorney yes. A media attorney, perhaps. A CRIMINAL attorney? That is, as a DOJ source told me, “Bizzare”. Secondly, People think that Wild Bill did this to “get the kid” back or some crazy thing, I’m sorry, don’t see it, and with the information I working with today, I can tell everyone hold the judgments and let it all come out.

Meanwhile Brian Ross is already doing interview flip flopping - more at the NRO Media Blog, and American Thinker is calling this story “The Worst October Surprise Ever”. And for your lunch time enjoyment, here is Barney Frank discusses the Foley incident.

BIG UPDATE I: Hassert just announced that he has asked Former FBI director Louis Freeh to look into the page system.

Well, well, perhaps a little poetic justice since Freeh was thrown to the wolves by Bill Clinton?

Oh my!

Mark Levin echos my thoughts:

“Louis Freeh will be named by Hastert to lead the page probe. Watch how quickly the libs dump on Freeh ‚Äî a critic of Bill Clinton.”

(Note: Mark was right, according to Drudge, Freeh won’t be the guy, Democrats objected - what a suprise!)

UPDATE II: Well, it seems the “Blog that started it all” has new posts up. From yesterday:

“Hello Folks. Maybe I’m not so happy that so many people are coming to this blog site.

“I’m not interested in media interviews. Thank you for your interest, but if you were doing your job to begin with, Mark Foley would have been exposed a long time ago. Instead of wanting to do a story about this blog, how about covering the fact that the media sat on this story for over a year. You’re as bad as the Congressional Leadership that covered for Foley.

In case you didn’t notice, all of the comments on the blog are gone? Wonder why? Because there are so many awful people out there. I started getting threats, so I decided that if somebody was going to threaten me, they were going to have to email me directly. So, they have continued to do so. There is no logical reason for someone to be so angry. I understand that the ramifications of these emails is far and wide. Much farther than I could ever have imagined. Regardless, think about how awareness has been raised.

AND…..here are the answers to some questions that have been posed. I am not Karl Rove, Mark Foley, or John Boehner. I am not employed in Democratic politics. I am not ‘funded’ by George Soros. I’m nobody that anybody should care about. So, please, go about your day as if I don’t exist. If you have something that needs to be posted on this site, please let me know.”

My, we are testy. For someone who claims to be non-political, that BOLD portion of the statement sounds a little like, like….

this

“Well the good news is that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is finally getting it. I called their Director of Communications, Bill Burton, before the Foley story broke to let him know about Foley (and another case) were coming down the pike. While Burton promised to have someone email or return my call and didn’t, I am glad he followed up on my call and was ready on Friday to come out of the gate running.”

More from Mr. Anonymous…

“There are a few points I want to address. I keep seeing things in the press and on the blogs (which I never read until all of this started going on).

First, I can’t believe that Speaker Dennis Hastert is blaming this blog on people like George Soros and Bill Clinton. That’s just an attempt at escaping responsibility. What does it matter who actually posted those first emails? Which leads me to my next point…..

How the heck can the FBI investigate this? Media reports say that they had the emails that I posted over a year ago. How are they investigating the House leadership for not handling it when they got the emails and they didn’t look into it either?

Although I totally blasted the media earlier for being lame for a whole year on this matter, I think they may be our best hope for the entire truth coming out in this matter. So, I hope they will ask questions about not only when Republican Leadership knew about it, what they did, how they were connected, what favors took place, etc; BUT, I hope they will also ask questions about who in the FBI let this go without investigating.

The TRUE HERO here is the page who reported the emails in the first place. Can you imagine how he has felt over the past year? For an ENTIRE year, NOTHING was done to show this kid that he was justified in reporting this sexual predator to the authorities. I’ve seen a lot of press and read a lot of blogs in the past week, but NOBODY has given this kid credit for the incredible courage that he showed not only a year ago, but for the entire past year while he MUST have questioned if he did the right thing. Well, he did. Kudos to him.”

Keep talking…….

UPDATE II: Speaking of things to come, WND on what Roger’s has planned in a second salvo. Again, from my law enforcement experience, “Let them trip on themselves until they can’t get up, then we’ve got ‘em!”.
