7. Of course it was sex...

Fri May 29, 2015, 02:36 PM

May 2015

but since he's a republican, it was only "misconduct"...a "mistake".. you know.. like forgetting to thaw something for dinner or forgetting to pick up your kid after school..or paying the Visa bill late..

The guy has to have proof or Hastert would have dusted him off and never paid him a dime.. My guess is that somewhere along the line something got recorded or written down and the guy extorted him..

They may BOTH end up in jail
