Hannity, Barone baselessly accused CREW of withholding alleged Foley communications

SUMMARY: Sean Hannity baselessly accused Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington of "prioritiz[ing] partisan politics over the safety and security of children" regarding Rep. Mark Foley's alleged communications with former underage congressional pages. In fact, CREW provided the FBI with the emails allegedly sent from Foley to a former page two months before ABC News reported their existence. Additionally, Michael Barone stated that CREW "would also have been wise to turn [the emails] over to, for example ... the House Page Committee"; in fact, the House leadership reportedly learned of the emails long before CREW did.
