What utter BS. If what Hastert knew was limited to the e-mails he had no evidence to pursue the matter further. To now look back with 20-20 hindsight and say he should have done more is ridiculous.

As soon as the IM information became available, Foley was shown the door. Hastert has asked for a DOJ investigation.

Agreed. Dialing back the 20-20 scope a little further, we see that, had social conservatives not been in such a snit over the private life of Newt Gingrich, Newt would still have been in Congress and been the type of Speaker that could have handled this situation in a way the complainers want.
