Exactly. This is highly suspect because it is so scornful of having to come forward when the time to come forward would have been when he was the Speaker of the House.
I also do not believe that lady who claims her long dead brother was molested. How convenient that he is unavailable to question. Why didn’t she speak up long ago?
Something happened a long time ago or Hastert wouldn’t pay a blackmailer. But the scope of it is being trumped up. Also it is interesting that these stories hit just before the weekend 2 weeks in a row so the libs can talk about it all weekend long. I’m not saying it isn’t a story. I’m just saying it seems to replace stories that should be even bigger. And at this point it is more gossip than fact.
That's not exactly how news cycles work.
Wonder if the blackmailer has been identified yet? It would seem the FBI would have followed the trail to him by now, but I haven't heard anything specific.
