Hastert's ORIGINAL press release said he had not seen the original e-mails, that they had gone to his staff. His statement was that he had NO RECOLLECTION of seeing the e-mails, but he was not going to DISPUTE the republican who said he DID discuss them with him.
His original statement was a problem -- he needed to get his facts straight in a case like this, because you have to know the democrats are looking for blood.
I have pinged you to the capitulation by Alexander.
The speaker NEVER saw the emails.
