It may not be a bad idea. Lets say he announces he is innocent but understands that some folks may doubt this

Nonsense. That's like saying George Bush should step aside for awhile and be investigation because there are some who believe he lied about the Iraq war.

Hastert stepping aside for any period of time would be perceived as an admission of guilt. He is not guilty in any way, shape or form and should not bow to the pressure.

Good point but there are some distinct differences.

First, Bush is not accused of ignoring a threat to our safety while Hastert is accused of ignoring a threat to the safety of children placed under our trust. Even if Bush lied (which he didn't of course) he did for purposes that were intended to protect us. However, if Hastert lied (which he did not of course) the only explanation is he did this to protect his own self and other GOP members at the risk of the well being of children.

The second distinction is that Bush didn't make a call to investigate the so called lies he is accused of while Hastert himself believes a crime may have been committed.
