Boo will just orgasm over Hastert getting charged...

[CosmicCowboy]

My guess is he had a gay experience in his past and got blackmailed. Gotta get those Republican faggots on tax evasion just like Capone. Boo is happy if the gays are Republicans.

[ChumpDumper]

The indictment did not spell out the exact nature of the “prior misconduct” by Hastert, but it noted that before entering state and federal politics in 1981, Has*tert served for more than a decade as a teacher and wrestling coach at Yorkville High School in Illinois.

yep, probably Penn-State type of coach-raping-kids stuff.

It will probably all come out, as will the name of the blackmailer, because that's a felony, too, unless the blackmailer has cut an excellent deal with the Feds.

You are seriously telling me Democratic politicians have some sort of moral DNA which prevents them from behaving badly? Perversely even? A Democrat would never rape a kid in a shower, only a Republican could do this?

Creepy C-SPAN Caller To Hastert: Do You 'Remember Me From Yorkville?'

Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) got a strange call from an Illinois resident last year in a C-SPAN segment that surfaced (http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4539325/dennis-hastert-strange-yorkville-call) in light of allegations that he agreed to pay $3.5 million in hush money to an individual from the town of Yorkville.

Hastert appeared in November on C-SPAN's "Washington Journal," where he fielded a call from an Illinois resident identifying as "Bruce."

"Hello Denny," the caller said.

"Hey, how are you doing?" Hastert responded.

"Pretty good. Remember me from Yorkville?" the caller answered. The caller paused, then laughed and apparently hung up.

Hastert covered up Foley screwing Congressional pages ( birds of a feather ...? )

Let’s Remember That Time Speaker Denny Hastert Covered Up A GOP Sex Scandal!

A senior congressional aide said Wednesday that he alerted House Speaker Dennis Hastert’s office two years ago about worrisome conduct by former Rep. Mark Foley with teenage pages.Kirk Fordham told The Associated Press that when he was told about Foley’s inappropriate behavior toward pages, he had “more than one conversation with senior staff at the highest level of the House of Representatives asking them to intervene.”

Rep. Foley sending naughty messages to teenage boys about how horny he was for their hot page bodies. Hastert of course denied knowing anything about it for years, and he got REAL MAD (http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2006-10-05/news/0610050132_1_behavior-toward-underage-pages-kirk-fordham-house-speaker-dennis-hastert) at everyone who said, “Um, hey, Speaker Hastert, how come you’ve been ignoring these rumors that Rep. Foley is doing some maybe sex crimes to some kids, HUH?”

When asked about a groundswell of discontent among the GOP’s conservative base over his handling of the issue, Hastert said in the phone interview: “I think the base has to realize after a while, who knew about it? Who knew what, when? When the base finds out who’s feeding this monster, they’re not going to be happy. The people who want to see this thing blow up are ABC News :lol and a lot of Democratic operatives, :lol people funded by [liberal activist] George Soros. :lol”


He went on to suggest that operatives aligned with former President Bill Clinton knew about the allegations and were perhaps behind the disclosures in the closing weeks before the Nov. 7 midterm elections, but he offered no hard proof.


It was all an evil Democratic scheme, see, to make Hastert look bad.

Of course he didn’t know, for months or even years, that Rep. Foley was sexually harassing underage pages!

Except that all turned out to be bullshit, because Hastert eventually admitted (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/05/28/dennis-hastert-mark-foley_n_7465586.html) he had heard something about Foley electronically diddling those kids after all.

Dennis Hastert paid to conceal sexual misconduct, sources say

Indicted former House Speaker Dennis Hastert was paying an individual from his past to conceal sexual misconduct, two federal law enforcement officials said Friday.

Federal prosecutors have announced bank-related charges against former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert.
One of the officials, who would not speak publicly about the federal charges in Chicago, said “Individual A,” as the person is described in Thursday’s federal indictment, was a man and that the alleged misconduct was unrelated to Hastert’s tenure in Congress. The actions date to Hastert’s time as a Yorkville, Ill., high school wrestling coach and teacher, the official said.


“It goes back a long way, back to then,” the source said. “It has nothing to do with public corruption or a corruption scandal. Or to his time in office.” Thursday’s indictment described the misconduct “against Individual A” as having “occurred years earlier.”


Asked why Hastert was making the payments, the official said it was to conceal Hastert’s past relationship with the male. “It was sex,’’ the source said. The other official confirmed that the misconduct involved sexual abuse.


Hastert and his attorneys could not be reached. Representatives of his lobbying firm declined to comment.

He was putting it in this kid's ass

That was mostly thanks to real-estate transactions, including one that drew scrutiny from ethics experts.

In 2006, the Sunlight Foundation raised questions (https://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2006/06/14/dennis-hasterts-real-estate-investments/) about federal funding Hastert helped secure for a highway in Illinois on a piece of property he and a group of investors owned. Hastert made a $2 million profit when the land was sold (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/21/AR2006062102210.html), according to the Washington Post.

He was worth at least $4 million when he left Congress, despite entering with a net worth of less than $270,000.

Dennis Hastert’s secret gay ‘misconduct’ is even worse given his terrible voting record on gay rights

Former House speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) was a reliable opponent of gay civil rights during his tenure in Congress.

“I felt a special bond with our wrestlers,” Hastert wrote in his 2004 memoir (http://www.amazon.com/Speaker-Lessons-Forty-Coaching-Politics/dp/089526126X). “And I think they felt one with me.” :lol

His record fighting against gay rights is lengthy and rich.

As a federal legislator, Hastert voted regularly against bills to empower gay people.

In Congress from 1997 to 2007, Hastert voted for the so-called “Marriage Protection Act (https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/108-2004/h410),” and in favor of a constitutional amendment to “establish that marriage shall consist of one man and one woman (https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/108-2004/h484).”

The year he stepped down, Hastert voted no on the “Employment Non-Discrimination Act (https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/110-2007/h1057),” a bill to prohibit companies from discriminating against employees “on the basis of sexual orientation.”

Noting Hastert’s “deeply conservative” policy positions back in 1998, the Associated Press (https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1298&dat=19981223&id=K_EyAAAAIBAJ&sjid=yAgGAAAAIBAJ&pg=6711,5780805&hl=en) reported the “National Right to Life Committee, the Christian Coalition, the Chamber of Commerce, and the National Rifle Association all gave his voting record perfect scores of 100.”

This isn't a sex scandal.

It's financial federal felony by a top Repug totally ignorant of the anti-money-laundering laws. Even after he was interviewed by FBI, he "structured" his money movements.

Patriot Act That Dennis Hastert Passed Led To His Indictment

On Oct. 24, 2001, then-House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) shepherded the Patriot Act (https://votesmart.org/bill/votes/8289#.VWfOf1xVhBd) through the House of Representatives. It passed 357 to 66, advancing to the Senate and then-President George W. Bush’s desk for signing.

Hastert took credit for House passage in a 2011 interview (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2011/09/07/remembering_911_former_speaker_of_the_house_dennis _hastert_r-ill_111218-2.html), claiming it “wasn’t popular, and there was a lot of fight in the Congress” over it.

Little did Hastert know at the time that the law he helped pass would give federal law enforcement the tools to indict him on charges of violating banking-related reporting requirements (http://www.irs.gov/uac/Federal-Statutes---Money-Laundering) more than a decade later.
