That doesn't sound like an official denial, more like a leak. Who knows what the truth is, but of course they'd want the media off of it.
You posted unofficial accusations..
Was that an "official" leak that Hastert was under investigation? I am willing to wait on the truth and wait before condemning and hanging Hastert..so far nothing is "official". That is what I meant by "unofficial accusation" in the thread you posted..
Now the denial is "official".
From Article""But department officials, who asked to not be identified, said the story was not accurate and that Hastert was not under investigation."
I wonder why it is nobody ever wants to be identified?
