[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1658531, member: 2189"] 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.
