WASHINGTON - The U.S. Justice Department on Wednesday denied a report that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dennis Hastert, is under investigation by the FBI in connection with a corruption probe.
ABC News, citing high level Justice Department sources, said information implicating Hastert had been developed from convicted lobbyists who are now cooperating with the government.
But department officials, who asked to not be identified, said the story was not accurate and that Hastert was not under investigation. "The story is wrong. Hastert is not under investigation," one official said.

Please, please, everyone stand back! Step aside!!
We need to make room for all the "Hastert MUST RESIGN NOW!" posters to get over here and issue their apologies and retractions.
Okay, one at a time folks... keep it moving...

Instead of saying what he and Pelosi did, he should stand up for the rule of law. Are we not a 'nation of laws'? Or, is he, as a member of our elite Congress and his collegues ABOVE THE LAW?

And he was all but buried around here. Sometimes we need to let a story develop before we eat our own.
