I’ve said from the beginning that there is a lot more to this story than meets the eye. Why would a former elected official — who hasn’t been in office in years — pay $3.5M in hush money over an incident that: (1) occurred long before he was in public office, and (2) occurred so long ago that the statute of limitations for any criminal prosecution expired years ago?
How the hell did he come up with $3.5 m?
And, while it hasnt been proven in a court of law, it appears this guy is a dirtball pedophile. Seems to me that if they could put him away for Jaywalking, it would be fine by me.
I don’t really care how they get boy molesters off the street, if it works—good.
I think the man is disgusting and I scratch my head and wonder why Freepers are not all over this? Yes, republicans get it worse than Dems. But Republicans also make all of the arguments for family values and what-not, yet diddle boys in high school and look for gay love in airport men’s rooms. What the hell is wrong with these people?

Makes you wonder why he just didn’t say the hell with it and retire and keep all that money. What is the rationale for losing 3.5M? Does he have such a lucrative lobbying career that it is worth that price?
