“...has already paid a steep price in shame and disgrace.”

So, if I am reasoning in PC that means ALL criminals should be let go due to the shame and disgrace. Am I right??????

Respectfully disagree. Hastert should go to jail for the distruction he and his minions wrought upon America during his time in congress. He should get the death penalty for his sexual abuse of youngsters.

Paid some hush money?
Whatever the penalty ism that’s fine.

Molested High School kids?
Cut it off.
Then give him a dress and he can
“work it off” in prison until he rots.

I read that child molesters are very popular in prisons? /s

Just think. If only we abandoned the outmoded, medieval, puritanical, control of Congress members' sex lives, and allowed them to get married, none of this senseless tragedy would...oh wait.

Clinton was married, too, wasn't he?

He should go to prison for being stupid with his finances.

If he needed hush money to pay the extortionist, there are ways to do that without withdrawing huge amounts of cash.

Simply buy a few high dollar ticket items through regular channels, check, credit card etc. Then resell items for cash money to pay off your gold digger.

That's exactly what the criminal charges for structuring were about.

And we let subhuman vermin like this run the country?

This is childs play(no pun intended) as to what goes on in DC.

Hundreds of millions gets passed around daily, just ask the Clintons, they will tell you how it’s done.

He feels shame over something that happened decades ago. But he doesn’t say he feels shame over making payments last year.

The only regret he has is getting caught. Yet he thinks “feeling shame” should be enough punishment. I’m sure lots of criminals would love to use that as a defense. The guy is a creep. He should do time. Then he’ll get all the man sex he can handle.

If Hastert was a homosexual, then he should rot in prison.

Wouldn't such a special "status" make him immune from the "homophobic" justice system?
