I’m not sure why the judge bothered with the no contact order, they’re too old for him now anyway.
Does he lose anything? GUbamint pension stays intact, has to register as sex offender... Or is he just gonna walk??
Sickening.
Another of our elitist bettors manages to escape time behind bars.
I am so sick of this (stuff)!!
Wasn’t he found guilty of banking crimes? How does this sentence address that?
What a joke. I noticed that Tom DeLay managed to write a letter to the judge recommending leniency while at the same time denouncing Trump. Yes. The GOP is that effed up.
does this mean he doesn’t have to pay any more ? oh wait, he’s being sued for the rest.
did the person who received the money have to report it to the IRS ?
NOT ENOUGH! Or is this just the penalty for the banking malfeasance? Still not enough, but woefully inadequate if it is the penalty for his sexual abuse of minors, too.
See, if you’re a member of the “club” you have no worries.
Same thing will happen to Hillary.
Too bad; they should have put his fat phony pervert ash in jail.
WLS 890, Dick Biondi.
Weasel words ...

“I am deeply ashamed to be standing here today,” he said. “I know I am here because I mistreated some of my athletes that I coached. ... I want to apologize to the boys I mistreated. I was wrong and I accept that.”
Just announced he also gets 15 months in prison followed by th e 2 years of supervised release. WLS said the judge gave Denny Hastert a “tongue lashing”. What a picture that conjures up of this pervert.
how many years would a non-important person who did the same thing in the same circumstances be looking at? 20? 50?
15 months?! Blago got 16 years and did far less!!
As someone who’s married to a sexual abuse survivor and knowing first hand the extensive damage it does to the victims, I am sickened to my stomach. I work across the street from dirksen federal plaza and I’m going there right now!
Can you believe he just got sued for “breach of Contract” by one of the guys he was paying “hush money” to ? Our legal system is a huge mess and if I were to ask a new President for something, it would be Tort Reform.
Plus Denny Hastert has to pay a $250,000 fine and take sex offender training classes.
That is not a sentence. That’s barely a clause.
He also got some prison time..... Check the articles on the net......
Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert was sentenced Wednesday to 15 months in prison for illegal cash withdrawals he made for payoffs to cover up sex-abuse allegations — after the judge called him a “serial child molester.”
He showed up in court for sentencing, in a wheelchair. To gain sympathy.
His lifestyle will not be reduced. He will still have $ millions, from his lobby/investment banker years, after his “service” in Congress.
IOW another establishment crony capitalist, elected elitist.
Didn’t Hastert just marry Harris Wofford?
