Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert Won’t be Charged for Molesting 4 BoysSource: JOSHUA KRAUSE (http://www.thedailysheeple.com/former-house-speaker-dennis-hastert-wont-be-charged-for-molesting-4-boys_042016)


Isn’t it interesting how politicians are so frequently caught with their pants down (sometimes literally) doing or approving of unspeakable acts? There’s doubt about it, positions of power have a tendency to attract the worst human beings, or inspire the worst behaviors in otherwise good people. Dennis Hastert would certainly fall under the former of those two categories.
The former congressman from Illinois was the longest running Republican Speaker of the House until he was unseated by Nancy Pelosi in 2007. However, his crimes go way back to before his political career. Last year he pleaded guilty to financial crimes, which led prosecutors towards a paper trail of payoffs.
They have asserted that Hastert molested several boys decades ago (http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/09/politics/dennis-hastert-sexual-abuse-allegations/) when he was the coach for a high school wrestling team. The documents they found while investigating his financial crimes show that he had been giving hush money to one of those students for years, which amounted to about $3.5 million. The man he was paying is one of 4 who have admitted to being sexually abused by Hastert.
According to the prosecution: “The actions at the core of this case took place not on the defendant’s national public stage but in his private one-on-one encounters in an empty locker room and a motel room with minors that violated the special trust between those young boys and their coach.”
If that’s not despicable enough, Hastert actually had the gall to ask one of his victims for help (http://www.rawstory.com/2016/04/gross-new-details-reveal-dennis-hastert-tried-to-use-victims-family-to-get-a-more-lenient-sentence/) with his financial charges.

The Tribune reports: “With the sentencing hearing looming, a source said Hastert called one of Individual D’s relatives, hoping to get a letter to show Hastert had done good things with his life; that letter could help persuade [U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin] to give Hastert a more lenient sentence.”
So did it work? Not so much: “Individual D then made a call of his own. He told federal authorities he would prepare a statement to be used in court detailing what Hastert did to him.”
Unfortunately, these crimes were committed in the 60’s and 70’s, so the statute of limitations has expired. Hastert’s lawyer claims he has expressed remorse for his actions. “Mr. Hastert is deeply sorry and apologizes for his misconduct that occurred decades ago and the resulting harm he caused to others…He will stand before the court having deteriorated both physically and emotionally, undoubtedly in part due to public shaming and humiliation of an unprecedented degree.”
That poor baby. It’s too bad this high-profile politician won’t get what he deserves. Not in this lifetime anyway.

The reason why Hasert was able to walk was because he was going to give up the names of the other men who was running a train with him on those little boy's

And to think a speaker of the house is like the 4th or 5th person down from the presidency

The leader of the supposed free world is a pedophile

When it starts it will come when they least expect it.


Just like spontaneous non compliance in new York and Connecticut in the wake of Newtown.

It will strike like a bolt of lightning

The leader of the supposed free world is a pedophile

I would venture that most of the leaders of the "free world" are. It is rampant in nearly all western governments. The UK has a diabolical paedophile problem in it's upper echelons and it's been like that since at least the 50's.

The BBC has a paedophile culture. There are many of the patrons of the BBC and then there are the staff, Saville of course. Just in the last week a BBC presenter couple were charged with having sex with male children in the 1990's. That is a man and a wife. Guess the religeous affiliation of the wife?

Same thing goes on here.

But let me be clear, while everyone is looking at the catholics, the other group is a significant if not the major perpertrators and I believe that many perpetrators that present as catholic are not but are in fact cryptos.

It will never be prosecuted in courts because they are run by the same people.

Ex-CIA director Porter Goss, former House majority leader Tom DeLay and three other former Republican congressmen are among those who still support disgraced former U.S. House speaker J. Dennis Hastert — at least enough to write a federal judge on his behalf.

The men were among 41 people to write U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin as he prepares to sentence Hastert next week in a sordid criminal case that brought to light allegations that Hastert sexually abused teenagers while working as a high school teacher and wrestling coach decades ago. None of the writers delved into those accusations, instead focusing on the good that Hastert had accomplished in his life.

“Perhaps, the Speakers greatest gift to the House was trust,” Goss wrote in his letter. “My belief is that Members found him very approachable and took him at his word.”

[The details on Dennis Hastert’s alleged sexual abuse of teenagers]

Goss is a former Republican congressman from Florida who served as CIA director under George W. Bush. DeLay is a Texas Republican who worked alongside Hastert in the House leadership and who himself was accused in a criminal case of influencing state elections with corporate money — although his conviction was ultimately tossed. The three other former congressman writing letters on Hastert’s behalf were John T. Doolittle (R-Calif.), David Dreier (R-Calif.) and Thomas W. Ewing (R-Ill.).

Hastert, 74, pleaded guilty last year to withdrawing money in amounts meant to dodge federal reporting requirements — itself a crime that prosecutors have since said belied something more sinister. By their telling, Hastert was withdrawing the money to pay off a man he had abused as a teenager. And after FBI agents began investigating the case, they found four other men — all affiliated with the wrestling team that Hastert once coached as a high school teacher in Yorkville, Ill. — who had leveled similar allegations of abuse.

Hastert is scheduled to be sentenced in the case on Wednesday. His attorneys submitted the letters to the U.S. Probation Office in hopes of influencing its recommendation on the penalty he should face, but Durkin said he would not consider them unless they were filed publicly. The attorneys made 41 of them public late Friday and wrote in a filing that those represented the people who were okay with making their sentiments public..
