Former Speaker Denny Hastert Indicted

Wow $3.5 million payoff for wrongdoings done to individual A? Me thinks the 'wrongs' must be a hell of a lot worse than structuring withdrawals to avoid IRS reporting. Please Denny, do tell!!

I think the whole point of paying $3.5 million was so no one would tell.

This article talks about blackmail and hints as to what the situation might be:

Remember how Hastert became Speaker? Bob Livingstone was to be the new Speaker and then Larry Flynt, who had offered a million dollars to anyone with proof of GOP Congressional members who voted for impeachment having used their own, ahem, members, indiscriminately, let out that Livingston had cheated on his wife so Livingston had to resign.

Livingston might have been the lesser sinner...

Locally they're suspecting 'the act' was while he was a teacher and wrestling coach since that was how the indictment outlining the history starts. Don't think cheating on a wife is worth $3.5 million. Just ask Bill Clinton.

The indictment also states individual A has known him most of his/her life which makes me suspect it was a high school student or wrestler or maybe even a family member, niece/nephew?

Yeesh. Impressive he managed to keep it quiet for so many years. Makes me wonder if the Duggar lawyers were all, "We gotta find someone to take the media spotlight off Josh! Go!"

Read somewhere Josh had no part in either of his sisters weddings tho his wife and kids did. And good for them as some things are unforgivable to even the holiest of the holy's.
