Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert was indicted last week;

“on charges that he structured bank withdrawals to avoid federal reporting requirements and later lied about it to the FBI.”

Hastert apparently paid over $1.7 million to a high school student to conceal sexual misconduct. This of course makes one recall the scandal with former Florida Congressman Mark Foley (R), who was forced to resign in 2006 after news came to light that he had engaged in “inappropriate courting” of young men who worked as pages.

This latest scandal explains one reason Hastert would drag his feet on holding Foley accountable: Hastert had his own dark secret involving both sexual misconduct and his closeted homosexuality. Ironic and even more MAJORLY hypocritical, considering Haster’s own crusade against Bill Clinton’s affair against Monica Lewisky, and his vote for impeachment. Hastert has also promoted himself as a crusader against sexual abuse of children.
