Someone needs to plant a fat cannabis joint on him - he'd then get a decade in prison.

Rotherham, franklin, more and more we see evidence of these guys embedded in the political system.. Hastert is not he only guy in the congress doing this. There are likely many more still serving .

They knew. If you think they didn't, you're naïve. I'm sure it's a common 'issue' among our leaders. Franklin papers demonstrably proves they WANT people like this in positions of power: easy control.

He doesn't even have to register as a sexual offender. 15 months for multiple rapes? He's still being protected from the system he helped corrupt.

The sentence is actually for the misuse of funds that he used as hush money. The statute of limitations on the sexual assaults ran out decades ago.

What I find so bizarre are the letters of support for him sent to the court by the same conservative leaders who are saying transgender people are the worst threat to children.

Good.

He should of never ran for office. You can't have a track record like that, and successfully keep it hidden as a congressman. Stupidly brought a lot of shame on himself and the office.
