The actual "punishment" for violating the disclosure laws, and even lying about it, will be minimal. That he will be exposed as having abused boys in his trust, which is $3.5 mil secret, will now forever be that stain on his reputation. Let him rot.
So another "family values" conservative gets caught bangin' a male student and then buys his silence with barrels of cash...............my only question is how are they going to pin this on bad black people?
Heck of a lot easier to give advice than it is to take it, but this has nothing to do with race. The man got caught, finally. These things no longer surprise me. It is also the reason I never take moral advice from a politician.
I feel sorry for Lumpy, but it's a searing indictment of the system when Mr Headlock, on a school teacher's salary, goes to Washington and peddles influence so profitably that he can shell out $3.5 million to hush up a "youthful indiscretion." His real sluttish behaviour had nothing to do with sex. The Capitol Building has become the best little whore house in Washington, >>>MOD EDIT Off Topic Removed<<<
It is disgusting to me that banks, which were once fiduciaries of their customers now have no loyalty and have become rat informants working for the IRS. What does taking your OWN money from your OWN account have to do with money laundering? That said, it speaks volumes about the old GOP that they elected a child molester several times then nominated him to be their leader. Everyone knew this guy was a pederast the whole time he was in Washington. Good old family values, Republican style! LOL
Good point. And you are correct; it is NOT illegal to pull your own money out of your account. It's not even illegal to pay money to a blackmailer. That makes Hastert the victim....and odd that the federal government under this administration would go after the victim, charge him with "structuring" (which it was NOT) and then leak parts of the story to the press/media.....making themselves a party to the blackmailing. I'd like to know why the blackmailer waiting all those decades until finally Hastert was making big bucks to blackmail him? Well, I guess my statement actually answers the question. Haster was Speaker for 8 years; no blackmail then. Only when he started making big money. BTW, structuring laws were designed to catch terrorists, money launderers, NOT victims of a crime. And if the person was underage at the time, then they should have gone to the police at some point or filed a lawsuit; NOT chosen the criminal path which was blackmail. Too bad for the Dems that Hastert was not Speaker and out of politics for some 8 or 9 years already, so this doesn't take their scandals off the front pages. BTW, liberal lawyer Alan Dershowitz is making the same case; that the gov't is being party to a blackmailing; that Hastert is a victim of blackmailing; and that paying off a blackmailer with your OWN money is NOT a crime. How many believe that had Monica Lewinsky chosen to blackmail Clinton and he was paying her off in cash, that any Democrat administration would have gone after him, instead of her???? I think we all know the answer to that one. This is all political.
It's implied. He was a coach for boys. I guess he could have raped a teacher but I don't think that's the case.
