Is in baltimore. Jeff tell me first, what stood out to you in this speech . One of the things that stood out to me was really how governor omalley tried to build a bridge with between whats happening on main street and whats happening on wall street. He addressed headon the challenges of baltimore. He said there are economic chalt engs that have caused the violence caused the protest. So he dr. Drew a link a correlation between what is happening in this city and whats happening across the country. And then he drew a link and said that ceo of Goldman Sachs, the big Investment Firm would be happy with a president bush or a president clinton. Hes trying to present himself as a new, progressive leader that stuck out to me how hes trying to compare and draw a correlation between all of these economic problems. Did you, jeff did you get a sense of confidence from him . Its very loud at this raly. And things behind me. I didnt hear what you said but a few protesters interrupted the raly. But they were just a couple handful of them. He was able to deliver his speech without much interruption. Jeff appreciate it thank you very much. Let me bring in our Political Panel now. Cnn Political Correspondent jeff zeleny and National Democratic strategist craig viroga he was chief strategist for governor omalleys 2010 campaign and brian morganstern. Omalley makes the field grow by one, with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders already running. What does omalleys entrance into the race mean for clinton and sanders . Thats the big question. So ryan omalley ron what do you think . Okay. Brian, let me ask you what you think about that then . Well i think that Martin Omalley is welcome to the race by a republicans, because frankly, he is the poster boy for failed democratic leadership. Baltimore has been in control of democrats for about five decades, what do the residents have to show for it . High taxes, high crime, high poverty, extreme racial strife. Governor omalleys speech was complaining about the condition of america under democratic leadership and his persona is an everyday guy who can identify with ordinary americans. Is is just a routine reminder that Hillary Clinton is sort of a, aloof aristocrat who doesnt give access to the press and so as a republican i guess i would say welcome to the race. We feel bad that we didnt get him anything. Let me bring in cnn senior politics correspondent chris moody who is also with us. Chris omalley he couldnt even keep his own state in democratic hands in last years race for governor. How likely is he to win the democratic nomination . And even more so the presidency if you want to look that far . From where we stand right now, not very likely to take the nomination. But that doesnt mean hes going to not have an impact on the race. You know like people run for president for a lot of different reasons. Some to raise their name i. D. Some to get issues out there. And some is to win. I think with omalley, what hes going to bring to the table is certainly somebody that can have a record he can point to. We saw in his speech hes not afraid to take on Hillary Clinton. If you look back at her donation record she has a lot of donations from wall street. In a is something that i think omalley will be pushing very hard and hes going to have an opportunity on the debate stage to be kind of in between a Hillary Clinton and lets say a Bernie Sanders. And i think hes a voice that i think democrats will actually be glad to have in the race. Especially just in case something happens with Hillary Clintons candidacy or she implodes. Theyll need to have someone in the wings that can take the reins, there might be someone that can come in very quickly, but for omalley to Start Building a campaign right now, i dont think that hurts democrats. And also to have a robust debate in the primaries. Hillary doesnt want to go through this unencumbered. You worked on omalleys gubernatorial campaign. What do you expect from him for this president ial run . Well i think what were going to see from him is a lot of what we saw in the speech. I think it was a very confident performance. Think he articulated very well the Progressive Side of the Democratic Party. And his record. And i think the thing that i found interesting toward the end of the speech is that you know he didnt blink about drawing a pretty explicit criticism of secretary clinton and he compared her to the bush family. And i think hes probably going to use that frame and put some issues behind it. In order to make his case to voters. Its going to be very difficult and Hillary Clinton certainly is a very strong frontrunner. But i think thats more of what were going to see from him in the days and weeks ahead. And omalley is aiming to make income inequality a major part of his platform. Does this push Hillary Clinton more to the left of her party . Even more so now, after sanders has jumped in . I think that theres a lot of unanimity in the Democratic Party on the issues. I think the challenge for governor omalley is to find one or two issues where he can disagree with secretary clinton. Where he can say this is what i believe, this is what she believes and theyre different. And this is why you should vote for me instead of her. Thats what we need to see. Thats what his Campaign Needs to do in order to be successful in the short run and get some traction and proof in the polls. Let me bring in mj lee to talk about womens issues. Does Hillary Clinton get the edge because shes a woman, wife mother and now grandmother . Look it certainly an issue that Hillary Clinton has been talking about on the road. I think this time around its been very interesting to see her talk about her family more. Talk about her personal life more. Talk about the fact that she is a grandmother. It makes her more likable and makes her more personable. But Martin Omalley is a charismatic person. Hes a good retail politician. We saw a lot of excitement behind us when he was talking to his supporters. I think its important to keep in mind. I know that jeff talked about this a little bit earlier. The protesters that showed up today, the issue of Police Brutality and the policing tactics that omalley used when he was mayor and governor that is going to follow him around. Were going to hear much more about that. And brian, what does did say, that in the democratic race the woman candidate is the frontrunner and on the gop side you have carly fiorina, may get pushed off the debate stage by the gop debate organizers . Well i think most voters are less concerned with gender or race or identity politic thans they are with the politicians policies and experience and record. I dont know that that matters a whole lot. Another point i want to touch on that we touched on before. I am not normally one to give credit to early polls. But there was one that caught my eye. This was among democrats in maryland. When governor omalley was still governor. They were asked who would they prefer Hillary Clinton or Martin Omalley. This is in maryland and secretary clinton won 633. Ive seen closer scores in video games set on easy mode. He has a tough road ahead to distinguish himself. I dont think secretary clinton is ahead in the democratic primary because shes a woman. I think shes ahead you know because shes more of a National Name brand. She has more of a record that people are aware of. And so you know i think the identity politics question is not necessarily relevant here. But again, governor omalley has a very duff road ahead. And chris, let me get back to you on how much mj touched on this. How much will the baltimore riots following freddie grays death hurt omalley given his record there in baltimore with police and use of force . Well when he was mayor and he was governor he supported the zero tolerance policies that a lot of people say may have led to a lot of this frustration between the police and the people who live there. And that is something concrete that people can see. Its not a number or a data a piece of data. Its peoples lives and its visuals that the people will be reminded of. And remember when he went back to baltimore, at the height of the riots when they were really just starting out. He was shouted down. People recognized him and said this is your fault. Now whether thats completely fair or not, the perception is there and its something hes going to have to try to explain when hes on the campaign trail. But also this is i think this is campaignwide. Republicans and democrats, even Hillary Clinton in the 1990s, in the 2000s, spoke a lot about increasing police and being tough on crime. And you see a lot of candidates moving away from that and trying to find another way forward on criminal justice. So its not just omalley that i think is going to have to answer a lot of these questions. Its one thing to make a big announcement. The question is where do you go from here. Craig, you know omalley well. Whats next . I think the first thing he needs to do after explicitly talking about running against secretary clinton is deal with the Bernie Sanders factor. Sanders is ahead of him in the polls, sanders has raised a lot of money. Until he gets around Bernie Sanders, wont get traction against secretary clinton. Think we saw the beginning of that. I think well see more of that in the next several weeks. But he needs to do that without getting into a protracted battle of the long shots nof toward a real chance of winning this nomination.

Federal prosecutors say he withdrew hume sums of cash allegedly used as hush money to cover up sexual abuse with one of his former students. This dates back to his early years as a teacher and wrestling coach, long before his political career ever started. So far he isnt saying anything. Heres cnn justice correspondent pamela brown. Well randi, first came the indictment from the Justice Department with the shocking allegations that Dennis Hastert had lied to the fbi about withdrawing money for a coverup. Now were learning from sources that alleged Sexual Misconduct involving an underage student was the reason behind the hush money. Federal sources tell cnn Dennis Hastert, the longestserving republican u. S. House speaker, was paying hush money to a student at the Illinois High School where he once taught. More than a Million Dollars for the former student to keep allegations, hastert had sexually abused him quiet. Hastert has not commented publicly. But he abruptly resigned from this washington, d. C. Lobbying firm as well as from a chicago derivatives firm. The indictment does not discuss sexual abuse. Instead, it focuses on how the 73yearold former wrestling coach moved the money he allegedly was paying the former student. Prosecutors saying he agreed to pay an unnamed individual quote 3. 5 million to cover up his past misconduct. According to Court Records, the investigation started two years ago when the fbi started investigating mystery transactions made by hastert. Bank withdrawals ss of more than 950,000. The fbi alleges they were less than 10,000 apiece so he could evade bank detention. When the fbi asked hastert about the withdrawals, he said he was keeping the cash for himself. Were told by sources federal authorities were looking to bring extortion charges and concluded that was something they didnt want to pursue. Hastert has not returned our calls for comment.

There were no payments going on between hastert and the second official were reporting. And this occurred when hastert was a teacher and a wrestling coach at that high school . Well we believe thats the case. We dont have a lot of detail on the second victim. In general, the charges made clear that it goes back before the time that hastert was in office. The school where hastert taught during the alleged sexual abuse said it had no knowledge of these accusations.
