22. Orrin has defended abusers before.

Orrin defended serial child molester Dennis Hastert who had a shady history with child solicitor Mark Foley.

Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) once visited the FLDS church in Hildale and played the organ. He later defended the group when asked about its alleged abuses.

Hildale was the home of polygamous sect leader Warren Jeffs who is now serving a life sentence for child molestation. If Orrin played the organ there he probably knew the "leader" pretty well.

I think it might be Orrin who is mixed up.
