Can someone tell me how he committed a crime by taking his own money and giving it to someone else?
He decided to take out his own money and give it to another person, the fact he’s being prosecuted for this shows how crazy these banking laws are.
I agree. It is a crime but it shouldn’t be. It is illegal to take your own money out of the bank in such a way as to avoid reporting limits. That’s crazy.
I can see lying to the FBI being a crime. I also thought Clinton was guilty of a crime when he lied under oath.
I worry that Hastert will commit suicide. He looks terrible. Anyone who would pay that much money to keep something quiet is going to be very devastated when it goes public. It apparently happened around 40 years ago.
This day and age they should just argue that blackmail, bribing, lying, etc all all innate human traits that people are born with and cannot help. So we should be celebrating it rather than shaming it and making it illegal. Maybe we should be giving it some sort of tax benefits.
