Screw that Bahstid! I hope he rots in jail! He was the silent RINO in chief during the Bush years.
I think I can guess what this is all about.
Of course it isn’t, but if it was up to me - any politician, cop, judge or DA or any other sworn public official would see many years breaking big rocks into little rocks if ever convicted of a crime while in office, or while employed in the public interest.
I would have zero tolerance for them as their unethical actions can undermine everything that is important as well as confidence in our government. Their politics should mean nothing.
Bank tellers can actually be prosecuted and held criminally liable for not also reporting transactions under $10,000. This is called the SAR (Suspicious activity report) and yes, even if you withdraw multiple sizable transactions under the $10,000 limit, you will still be reported with the SAR and can be prosecuted for "structuring" and "evasion" - as well as the bank employee, if he/she does not submit the SAR in a timely manner.
Yet not a word about the IRS or the Clinton Foundation....
WHHHATTT???? I don't think that's what the law was about.These laws are being abused.
I ran his opponents campaign in 1994.
Does anyone know how Denny Hastert kept getting re-elected election after election in a disputed district?
He paid some low-level Democrat party grunt to run against him in the General Election. He used his own people to circulate petitions for his "opponent" to get them on the ballot and then had signs printed up for his opponent.
Denny's own staff would go out and put those signs up to make it appear Denny had competition.
As was the case in several elections, Denny's "opponent" magically had dirt thrown on him just before the election to make the opponent "unelectable." One year Denny's opponent was a known drunk who couldn't hold down a job, another year it was a school bus driver who hardly ever voted.
Not surprised Denny Hastert's a crook. Wonder what's going to happen to the Hastert Family Restaurant "White Fence Farm?" Wondering if the Fed's are going to look at that as a money laundering operation.
Hmmmmmmm.
There's A LOT of dirt on Denny Hastert. I'd given long ago that he was ever going to be caught so today for me was a pleasant surprise. Denny's a corrupt crook. Knew it all along.
Should I have to worry about taking ATM withdrawals of $400 a day (daily limit imposed by the bank)?
His blackmailer must have had some pretty good stuff.
Another of caesar’s intrigues.
He was a disaster as a speaker.
Well you screwed up your end, Denny.
Now the Vic is free to lay it on the line.
Pervert.
So we're back to the Martha Stewart crime, lying to federal officials. Tell me, is there a crime of a federal official lying to the public?
That says an awful lot about the creatures who rule this country. Fortunately, one of the architects of the reporting rules is bit by his own ‘compromise’ law. Enjoy.
F him... if he broke the law he should pay dearly. But let’s start indicting ALL the Democratic criminals as well.
Apparently the hush money is going to some guy he was associated with back in the days of when he was a HS Wrestling Coach. I am betting it was some kind of sex with young boys.
I am sure there is a totally innocent explanation for this. Or maybe not.
All Hastert needs to do is change his name to Clinton and he will walk away unscathed! After all comparing the money situation the Clintons are up by a couple hundred million.
He should have created a “FOUNDATION”. Put the money into the foundation and then put whoever he wanted to get the money on the board of directors. That seems to be the Clinton way.
