Joining us, a well known columnist in for the miami "herald" and the host of cnn ens pan oriole. what do you make of the reaction? zbl( well, a reaction between bewilderment bemusement and outrage. people cant understand how somebody like trump can say something like that when mexicans who follow this much more closely than most americans know that the number of mexicans crossing the border illegally to the u.s. has been dropping dramatically over the last couple of years. so people are sort o...

Hes running for republican primary. bob questioned jeb bush and talked about hillary clinton on "face the nation." >> her camp would come back and say are look theres no suggestion of quid pro quo. do you take them at their word? >> theres implication for sure if you read these articles. they signed a deal with the administration. ill come into the department of state and i will make sure that my spouse will report any dealings he has with other countries and so will the foundation. that result ...

The implication, i think, he was young at the time of whatever the misconduct was when it took place. >> exactly. and, you know anyone who has lived in the real world who read those documents had to aassume that this was some sort of sexual misconduct in a, in an earlier chapter of hasterts life. but only the day after the indictment that our reporting and other peoples reporting have confirmed that it is an accusation and only an accusation of sexual misconduct at a time that hastert was a teac...

That at times material to this indictment point one the first thing they quote is from approximately 1965 to 1981 defendant john dennis hastert was a high school teacher in illinois. why would they put that in? >> the reason they say he put that in he was a high school teacher and wrestling coach is because the individual to whom he was paying money he supposedly knew from that time. >> and the individual seems to be from yorkville, illinois. so likely related, it seems. >> the land of lincoln o...

He wrote a scathing implication of vladimir putin in his murder and three weeks later he was dead. oddly not the only time it happened in the uk. in 2012, a russian finance guy fled russia and turned into a whistle-blower when he uncovered a huge fraud scheme in which top russian officials from the putin government had stolen over $200 million. he was healthy guy, didnt take any med cases, no known health problems, 44 years old, mysteriously collapsed while jogging in a london suburb. "the guard...

The implication of that is that the past misconduct that he was paying somebody off about might date back to that time. was there ever any sort of a hint of a scandal or shadow from this time in his life? >> no. he was a beloved wrestling coach at the school. i agree with you they could have picked some ere things because he went from being a high school teacher to a being a member of the illinois general assembly. thats not in this document that you and i have. so i think the people -- the lawy...

These payments began, i think in 2010, according to the government after hastert had been meeting awith -- with this person this person he had known for much of this persons life. he knew this person as a child back in his home district where he was a coach and a teacher, correct? >> right. so it suggests that this goes all the way back to those days when he was a wrestling and a football coach as well as a teacher in illinois. although that is not confirmed. because this indictment simply does ...

But thats not confirmed because the indictment simply doesnt say what that underlined misconduct was that he was paying money for. >> obviously, jeff the implication is and again, we dont know what the alleged inappropriate behavior was, but there is an elephant in the room here he was a teacher, a wrestling coach, knew this person from the time they were a child in his district where he was a teacher and a coach and is paying this person -- agreed to pay this person upwards of 3 million dollars...

But hastert, according to the indictment, was agreeing to go along with it. this is such a sad end. i was in the chamber that day in 1998 you talked about earlier in the show when i saw how quickly he put together the votes to become the speaker. like that he was able to do it. and to have this now at age 73 be the end or however this resolved, i cover a lot of illinois political figures. my joke is, and it doesnt sound like a joke tonight, i cover them from announcement to indictment. once agai...
