(UPDATE: It's not clear from the ABC story if there are one, two, or three sources now confirming Kirk Fordham's allegation that Denny Hastert's chief of staff met with Mark Foley several years ago to discuss Foley's creepy page obsession.)
Denny Hastert thought his little "buck stops here" speech calmed the waters on Thursday. But, there is further evidence that Denny Hastert hasn't been telling the truth about the Foley scandal. Another source confirmed for ABC News that Hastert's Chief of Staff met with Foley "years" before the "overly friendly" e-mails showed up:
House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert's chief of staff met with disgraced former Rep. Mark Foley to discuss the time and attention Foley was giving House pages years before the speaker's office admits becoming aware of the issue, a current House staffer told ABC News.Over to you, Denny.
The staffer, who asked not be identified because of the ongoing FBI and House Ethics Committee investigations, told ABC News of learning in November 2005 about an earlier meeting between Hastert Chief of Staff Scott Palmer and Foley, R-Fla.
