Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert Scandal


We're rolling' em out for the 4th of July!

Hastert pleaded guilty to hiding money transactions, admitting that he paid $3.5 million to keep one sexually abused victim quiet.  Judge Thomas Durkin called Hastert "a serial child molester" when he handed down the sentence in April of 15 months.  In addition to his prison term, the former Republican lawmaker (Hastert is the longest-serving Republican Speaker of the House in history) was ordered to pay $250,000 to a victims' fund and enter a sex offender treatment program.

The scandal that recently enveloped speaker of the house Dennis Hastert, downplayed as a decade's old story of a series of revelations from FBI whistleblowers.  Reveal that this story is just the tip of a very seedy iceberg, one that implicates Hastert, his top aide, other Congress members and government officials in a criminal network involved in sexual intrigue, foreign espionage, blackmail, and drug money.
