If Dennis Hastert had not been a "chicken hawk" (as homosexual predators are known.) He would not be now facing trumped up charges.

President Obama and the Attorney General (whatever her name is) thank you for publicizing the American Regime's vigorous campaign against chicken hawks!

LOL!

Any idiot knows that Hastert's prosecution is simply an effort to embarrass Republicans.

Just wait until they get rid of physical cash and go all electronic.

BTC.

Mention the name Gary Studds to them.

I assume you mean Gerry Studds, the late congressional faggot from Massachusetts, famous for doing to male ute's what his ancestor Elbridge Gerry did to congressional districts.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Yeah. Gerry

"I worry how easy it would be for a sleazy and corrupt occupant of the White House to use metadata to find secrets that could be used for blackmail."

J. Edgar Hoover and many other men did this long before computers existed, much less metadata. Ever wonder how Hoover was able to keep his job for so long, through so many administrations?

Hastert can recuse himself by declaring himself a “she” and blaming traditional thinking as to why he hid his past pedephile/homosexual activities.

Behold Fellini Satyricon threatens to replace Norman Rockwell.

All on the 2016 ballot.

Given how far Hoover went, I worry how far Obama will go. Hoover was at least patriotic.

No doubt, but given this sort of Republican, I'm not terribly upset about it.

Has there ever been a good IL Republican? I can’t recall, as the ex-Republican HRC might say.

Has there ever been a good IL Republican? I can’t recall, as the ex-Republican HRC might say.

Some would say "Lincoln" but given that he was the first to massively grow the government and exceed his defined powers, i'm not so sure he was a good one either.

Couple of points:

1. It’s a bad law that’s been rightly described as being arrested for not speeding.

2. Hastert, like most leadership pols, is a scum. They get to the top because they can be controlled and do the will of their masters. Not because they love the country or the Constitution.

3. This story broke to end a negative news cycle and to threaten those politicians who are doing something similar or have a lifestyle subject to extortion.

4. Billy Clinton isn’t unique, just ham handed.
