(78,249 posts)in any case, I'm sure that Hastert, like most righties, prefers dogs. Hitler, for instance, hated and feared cats.

(6,913 posts)The way they worded the indictment certainly implies it. Decades ago. Something he would pay millions of dollars to hush up must be bad.
Of course, it could be sexual misconduct with a female minor resulting in a baby. The proof would be still be available through DNA even decades later.

gotta be something more aberrant to pay all that money to hide.

(3,182 posts)That's my guess. It's really the only thing that accounts for the years of silence. Mom shut up, kid says "oh no you don't."
This "Bruce" from the CSPAN call is likely his son.

plus anything that Hasart gave them could be considered back child support instead of bribry.

(42,770 posts)Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert was paying a former student to keep quiet about allegations of sexual misconduct from the time when Hastert was a teacher and wrestling coach in Illinois, two sources with knowledge of the federal investigation say.
Hastert was a teacher and wrestling coach in Yorkville, Illinois, between 1965 and 1981, before entering politics. Hastert was indicted on Thursday on charges of lying to the FBI about $3.5 million he allegedly agreed to pay to an undisclosed person to "cover up past misconduct."
