Any homosexual in government would be a ripe candidate for blackmail. And the blackmailer should also be punished. If retribution for cases such as this need redressing, it should be done through the courts.
Jolene said she believes the abuse ended when Steve moved away after his high school graduation in 1971. Reinboldt died of AIDS in 1995.
Someone else was blackmailing Hastert. The sister claims she doesn't know who it is.
Guy died from AIDS in ‘95, and this entire article is based on his sisters hearsay.
Love the breathless George jumping all over it like it is engraved in stone, not without any proof whatsoever except her story.
So Hastert made him gay. I guess he wasn’t born that way.
Ah, but it’s OUR fault because we dare say homosexuality is wrong!
Soooo....who got the MILLIONS, Stevie or his sister?? I want to KNOW!
If it’s homosexual behavior with a Republican, it’s “abuse”.
If it’s homosexual behavior with a Democrat, “it’s just about love”?
She kept this crime secret for 36 years while Hastert rose to power?
What does this say about her credibility?
Look at that. Hastert actually confessed...
'He damaged him more than we will ever know': Sister claims former House Speaker Dennis Hastert sexually abused her teen brother while coaching his school wrestling team
Yeppers - the media "watchdogs" knew that Hastert was nobody to mess with when he was "in power"
Which is why they won't mess with The Witch.
I have not seen anything written on where Bastart got
all of his cash. He seems to have made boatloads of cash after he got into office. I guess I missed those articles
where his earnings were explained.
I wonder if the percentage of ‘gay’ men, who were molested by a man, is above 50%. I am of the belief that the ‘nurture’ aspect is much higher than the ‘nature’ aspect in this sexual preference.
And got filthy rich in the process.
Not that I revel in another's misery.
However, it must be pointed out that this is hearsay.
Whatever hearsay means.
The only thing more upsetting than this story that we had a speaker of the house molesting boys in his charge is the FReepers rushing to defend him or make light of it. Or to blame it on homosexuality.
Homosexuality between adults is not a crime. Sure, it’s a news story if Hastert was in the closet (was he married to a woman?) and getting some weenie on the side. Scandalous, sure.
But we are talking about a coach molesting boys in his care here!!! Destroying lives, destroying trust. Remaining in hs position solely to rape and seduce young high school students who are supposed to obey and trust ther coach!!!! This is criminal and SICK.
If this were a liberal Speaker, if Pelosi were paying off her former abusees, you wouldn’t all come on here and say, “Wait. There is no proof!”
I’m getting very tired of hypocrisy here. This place is getting as bad as the lib sites. This isn’t a game here. It’s not red shirts vs blue shirts, anything goes. Hastert is a sick predator and he has hurt many boys. He needs to suffer for this. It doesn’t matter that he grabbed an R and put it behind his name. He’s playing for team Molest Your Kids.
its just like the priests....anybody can come back and claim any damn thing if the person you're accusing has been dead for 10 yrs....
