Hear the collective gasp when this came across because nobody would have suspected this. but there is something very sad behind this story. i don t know what it is. everybody has their own thoughts. we ll find out soon enough. but this isn t your ordinary scandal. no, and it really seems like no one saw it coming. just some tidbits here on the headlines. he s accused of violating banking laws by trying to hide more than $900,000 in withdrawals allegedly that to cover up quote, a past misconduct against someone. and the fbi says hastert then lied about the cash transactions when he was questioned about it. apparently he was trying to withdraw large sums of money. there is an unnamed individual in the indictment, individual a, who confronted hastert in 2010 and hastert agreed to pay $3.5 million to compensate and conceal the alleged misconduct. it also mentions the indictment his years working in a high ....
To security banking rules or that the cash was being used as hush money or to commit a crime. the fbi says hastert claimed he was keeping the money because he did not trust the banking system. yeah. willie, the indictment obviously because it mentions his years as a wrestling coach and a teacher, certainly suggests in a the high school conduct that he considered worth paying somebody $3.5 million to keep quiet obviously goes back to that time in his life. and you look how long these payments go. over years and years. two questions i have, what good he do obviously. if there is something criminal we ought to know that. and the second side of it is there extortion on the other side. did the person say i want $3.5 million or else. or did denny hastert volunteer this payment. but as you said a lot of people ....
