Capito says she was not told about congressman's e-mails

Republican Page Board Member Confirms: No Investigation Happened

Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., says she was not told about suggestive e-mails that a Florida congressman sent to a 16-year-old former Capitol page, even though she is one of three representatives who oversee the page program. [...]

Several high-ranking House Republicans have known about the e-mails for months, including Rep. John Shimkus, R-Ill., chairman of the House Page Board.

Late last year, Shimkus met with Foley about the e-mails. But Shimkus never told Capito or the board's other member, Rep. Dale Kildee, D-Mich., about them until Friday, according to all three.

"There's only three of us on the page board. I feel that we should have been informed," Capito said. "I'm absolutely disgusted by what I'm hearing. I was caught totally unaware." [...]

Capito said she would have been very concerned if she had read those e-mails.

"I don't think it would pass the sniff test," she said. "Even asking those questions -- that is not normal between a 52-year-old adult and a 16-year-old. It's not like they're family friends or anything. I think it would raise some serious questions. But I wasn't given that opportunity."

Late last year, Shimkus and former House Clerk Jeff Tandahl met privately with Foley to talk about the e-mails, but did not tell the other House Page Board members or launch an investigation.

Who cares about this, the really important question is not how many Republicans were or were not told, the important question is how many Democrates knew and why they waited to make it known to everyone else until the end of September??? That is what we should be investigating here. We know the Republicans didn't know. But we need to find out how the Democrats found out. This is the important question. How did the Democrats know when the Republicans didn't???? And why didn't they tell the Republicans instead of going to the press???
 
No, the problem is that over ten years ago someone in the Clinton administration had relations with an underaged person. Crimes that are a decade old under Clinton are the real issues at hand that we need to deal with today.

I'm surprised she wasn't told. All of the democrats were, and they sat on it, once again attempting to cover for Republicans.

I wonder how it came to pass that she didn't know, but the sole democrat on the committee did know. Strange.

And you know, we're at war.

So I think that another thing that has to be investigated is how the dems all knew about this, didn't tell the republicans, and then leaked it to the press while we are at war. Did anyone ever hear of a little thing called "treason"?

I'm starting to think, a little trip to GITMO not out of the question for the dems who are responsible for this scandal.
