Federal prosecutors on Thursday charged former Republican House Speaker Dennis Hastert with illegally structuring cash withdrawals from bank accounts to make payments to someone he committed “prior misconduct” against and lying to the FBI about it
They picked an old retired guy as an example to say:
Look what we have on ALL of you and you're next unless you do everything Obama says.
A warning shot to GOP NOT to look into the Clintons.
Wasn’t Hastert Newt’s replacement?
If I remember correctly, the D’s ran ramshod over him.
He seemingly played along to get along....
Any possibility of McConnell and Boehner thinking they will only get prosecuted in the long run anyway.
Remember ‘they’ tried to get pay back for Clinton’s impeachment by going after W the entire 8 years he was in. These clowns don’t forget, they just keep digging..trying to hide their friends ‘indiscretions’ while exploiting the indiscretions of their (so called) enemies.
Guess Corzine will be in jail shortly for the screwin he gave his friends.....Yeah right....
INDICT HILLARY NOW!!!!!!
It looks like it was hush money of some kind he was paying to someone.
And the Obama DOJ turns a blind eye toward Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. The Obastard has politicized everything.
By my analysis, there are only 26 honorable and worthy men and women currently in positions of authority within the bloated, incompetent, and dangerous federal government. Think of America in renaissance if the others were banished to a desert island where they can fight over coconut scraps.
Obama is hitting out at ALL his enemies, real or imagined, no matter how harmless or even in dotage. What an amazing a$$hole! He is a wannabe Michael Corleone He is gutting military of all its brass, especially the Christians, has nutted the judiciary, and how is this done? The NSA gives him their life’s record of indiscretions and, yes, even crimes, by way of illegal wire taps which will NEVER be disclosed to any court. This is SO sad.
However, on a brighter note...John Boehner now has cover for not following “the Hastert Rule” and that is because Denny is a Crook! - The end
Wasn’t this guys error buying up land in front of a new hiway in his district??
I see people are saying the same things liberals say when one of theirs gets caught. Making excuses or saying “Why didn’t they prosecute (fill in liberal name).”
As far as I’m concerned the fact that he has that much money to play around with shows the corruption in politics. They all leave millionaires.
Good points all.
REP. WATERS: Well, you know, I don’t know; and I think some people are missing something here. The President has put in place an organization that contains the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life. That’s going to be very, very powerful, and whoever-
MR. MARTIN: In terms of the Organizing for America that he’s now shifting to become a 501(c)(4).
REP. WATERS: That’s right. That’s right. And that database will have information about everything on every individual in ways that it’s never been done before. And whoever runs for President on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that. They’re going to have to go down with that database and the concerns of those people, because they can’t get around it.
And he’s been very smart. I mean it’s very powerful what he’s leaving in place, and I think that’s what any Democratic candidate is going to have to deal with.

This is what hangs over the heads of our GOP leaders everyday. Newt is probably next.
To be perfectly honest with you, I did NOT read the entire article. The Washington Post sent an eedition HEADLINE and I believe it mentioned something about banking.
Sorry, my cynicism doesn’t allow me to have mercy or much feelings for ANY Pol, double when I consider the ‘perp’ a RINO or, at the least a Casper Milquetoast when it comes to dealing with the Libs/Dems. He had a ‘pal’ in Congress named Ray LaHood, another R from Illinois.
IMNSHO I think an R from Illinois is like an R from NY or MD, to get elected they have to ‘act’ like a D.....
Yes, can’t mention it without invoking Reagan and GW, guilt by association.

Yep,Ill Pubbies have a lot to not make one smile...but the demoncRATS there make pubbies look like saints...
Like his "past misconduct" for which he was paying off someone(s).
True...When you see them in action (R) you may shake your head but be very thankful they are NOT D....
In some cases, RINO is much better than D BUT just for that state..in big picture, not so good.....<:{ <:
What goes around, comes around. If we win the Presidency in 2016, then we can go after the Dems tooth and tong. Go after the Clintons, go after Obama, go after regulatory agencies, and go after crooked Dems everywhere. That’s why it is very important to get the right person as a Pub candidate in the primaries. That person has got to be tough and have a fighter mentality.
No Jeb Bush, or the like. We must vote for a Pub though or our country is doomed. So. we must choose carefully in the primaries. A Walker, Cruz, Rubio is good on foreign policy, Fiorina is a fighter, and just to rile certain Freepers, Trump is a fighter too. We must hire a Pub fighter, although it will always be my mantra that any Pub is better than any Dem. Because no 3rd Party will win; it just guarantees a Dem president. Not voting will accomplish the same end, a President Hitlery.
Don’t stay home Freepers and do vote Pub. To do anything else and stick us with 4-8 more years of a Dem regime will totally ruin our country. You must do your patriotic duty in 2016 or we will all pay for your love of your own version of purity of candidate over what is good for the country as a whole, if you truly love your country. We must try to get the right candidate during the primaries; however once a Pub candidate is chosen, whoever that turns out to be, that is who we must vote for, if you want to have a country that is not socialist/bordering on Communist. So choose wisely everyone.
Because no 3rd Party will win; it just guarantees a Dem president

That was the case with Perot but having Nader run was a plus for the R’s and if ‘Nutty’ Sanders stays in as an I or whatever, it will help the R side because so many D’s think BO and/or Hillary are too ‘Conservative’
(hate to have BO - Hillary and Conservative in the same six word ‘sequence’ or thought)
I don’t know if H is going for the sympathy vote or conjuring up an excuse to ‘drop out’ but the further this goes along she gets more ‘confused’ and is really looking like the ‘30 miles of rough road’ she really is - potholes and all.
