Reynolds' chief of staff denies Foley cover-up

[cynatnite]

Kirk Fordham told reporters he was trying to spare Foley's sister, Donna, and his ailing parents from the "lurid" details. He called "absurd" assertions that he was trying to cover up the incident.

"Perhaps a bit naively, I was thinking of Mark's family, primarily his parents," said Fordham, who is now chief of staff for Rep. Thomas Reynolds of New York, who is chairman of the House GOP campaign committee. "It was never, ever my intention to suppress this information."

5. tough - the law says you are REQUIRED to report it

Ask any person who has kids what they would think of someone who knew a person who was ludely sexually harrassing minors chose not to do anything to PROTECT THE FAMILY OF THE PREDATOR!

Nope, this just makes him look guilty as sin and practically admits cover-up. There's no damn difference if the goal was to protect the predator or the predator's family. The POINT is that either one is cover-up.
