Hastert Misconduct Involves Sexual Abuse Of A Male | Crooks and Liars
Anonymous federal sources are speaking to the LA Times, and the story isn't pretty. It also confirms why he is resigning hastily from the Wheaton College Center that bears his name as well as the lobbying firm he's been working for.
LA Times
One of the officials, who would not speak publicly about the federal charges in Chicago, said Individual A, as the person is described in Thursdays federal indictment, was a man and that the alleged misconduct was unrelated to Hasterts tenure in Congress. The actions date to Hasterts time as a Yorkville, Ill., high school wrestling coach and teacher, the official said.
It goes back a long way, back to then, the source said. It has nothing to do with public corruption or a corruption scandal. Or to his time in office. Thursdays indictment described the misconduct against Individual A as having occurred years earlier.
Asked why Hastert was making the payments, the official said it was to conceal Hasterts past relationship with the male. It was sex, the source said. The other official confirmed that the misconduct involved sexual abuse.

Abstinence education appears to not even work on the guys who vote for it. Also, Segami posted about a CSPAN caller from Yorkville who asked Hastert if they remember him, then laughed and hung up. Hmmm: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6746576
