Hastert was being extorted, he was paying off the extortion, and gets indicted for lying to the FBI about it??
HELLO!!
McFLY!!!
How many Democrats should be IN PRISON for this very same thing, trading influence via extortion?
How many? When it comes to locking up crooked SOB’s I’ll take ‘em as they come. Dims would want to be polite now because their turn is coming.
I’d like to know the Individual they wouldn’t name.....and why secretive about it?
that was my original thought but after a moment or two i realized Hasert may have approached the person and asked how much to make whatever happened go away. Thats a bribe, not extortion.
Whatever he did had to be pretty embarrassing and probably quite illegal to fork over that much. Had to have been done with intent. I don’t think he paid hush money over a fender bender. Could be a pregnant intern in this.
