Hastert set up a shell company to buy farmland that he knew would become a new interstate interchange. His name wasn’t on the company but his wife was.. He made millions flipping some cheap land with his insider knowledge. 60 minutes or maybe dateline had done an expose on him way back. Crooked as a paper clip...

Maybe Hastert was paying back the guy he sold the property to for the highway that never got built.
Hastert was dirty. Boehner is caving to Obama because Obama has just as much, or more, dirt on Boehner.
