TOS , why is it that when caught Rs are arrested , jailed and/or resign , but Ds are rewarded for the same acts ?
Sounds like a victimless crime to me and should be taken as a lesson to the politicians still in office to not pass so many stupid laws.
You may well be correct as it pertains to the actual charges against him but seems attached to it is an underlying story that's showing to be something else. Hiding secrets it may turn out was what led Hastert to commit several paper crimes. The fact he's a victim of his own poor decision making while leading Congress is only compounded by choices made before office and then once he left.
The fact as teacher and coach he may have abused his position of power just demonstrates that the adage of "Power Corrupts and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely" proves true in all forms where compulsory power exists.
And I also agree as it pertains to victimless crimes but having an actual physical victim having suffered an actual damage, that ship sailed long ago. The State has inserted itself as victim so in that sense there is no such thing as victimless crime. If an actual victim were necessary, Ross Ulbricht of Silk Road fame would not be facing life in prison or at least not as a result of the case made against him.
Funny that a guy that generates economic activity by connecting a willing buyer and willing seller is crushed in an economy that just isn't working for so many and the number known as many grows.
Essentially he is charged for getting his money out of a bank and then not telling the truth to the government of his reason why. Has to be one of the dumbest laws on the books. They're not even trying to claim the money was earned illegally. I'm no fan of politicians and the irony of this insane law being used against him doesn't escape me either.
Nothing you said I disagree but I still revel in the fact that he's a "victim" of the very law he helped get on the books.
At his age, I assume the goal of the government is just to bankrupt him.
Yeah which ones????What? When are Democrats "rewarded" for Hastert-type behavior?

Barney Frank ( D-MA ).What? When are Democrats "rewarded" for Hastert-type behavior?
Lying to the IRS and the FBI are always smart moves. I guess Big Government was just out to "get" poor Mr. Hastert. He's the real victim!! God, you people are morons.
