Foley computer files set off legal dispute

  Even when we thought the misery had ended last November, we still are not done with the 109th Congress just yet.  Florida officials are waging a legal battle with Congressional lawyers in hope of getting them to turn over former Republican Congressman Mark Foley's computer files:

Lawyers for the U.S. House of Representatives have denied Florida lawenforcement officials access to former Congressman Mark Foley's officecomputers. Investigators believe Foley may have used the machines tosend illegal sexually explicit messages to former congressional pages.

Instant messages reviewed by ABC News last October indicated theone-time Florida representative interrupted a House vote to engage inInternet sex with a high school student who had served as acongressional page and had been 18 for just six weeks at the time ofthe exchange.

Yet another reminder of how pathetically awful the last Congress was.

Despite Fox News labeling Foley as a Democrat after the scandal broke, voters in that heavily-weighted Republican district were fed up and elected a Democrat.

Back to the current investigation.  Congressional lawyers claim they already checked out the files themselves and did not find any graphic photos, and see no need to hand them over.  This comes as Florida state officials prepare to wrap up their year-long investigation into the Mark Foley scandal.

Great!  Some closure to this disgusting case.
