and the sister of one of his victims has the photos of him 'resting' with them on a bed - they were on ABC news minutes ago. This is the sister who is speaking out about her deceased brother who died of AIDs. The FBI showed up at her home while investigating this madness.
The shit has hit the fan!!!!
Don't rule out a suicide.
I just love the fact that they kept photos
I hate these people.

It is scary.
There's a proverb where I live ' fling a stone in a hog pen - who bawl get lick'
Where is Larry Flint when we need him - he always knew about these scumbags.

Praise from Religious Right
Religious Right leaders praised Hastert's elevation to the Speakership. Phyllis Schlafly said, "This is great news for the Republicans. It's turning over a new leaf. Denny Hastert has a longtime record as a pro-family conservative and I know that this is a better day for the Republicans in Congress."
The Executive Director of the Christian Coalition Randy Tate: "Denny Hastert is a man of true principle and integrity. He is a true conservative. Denny received a "Friend of the Family" award [from the Christian Coalition] and only 80 members out of the 435 members in the House received that award."
James Dobson, the head of Focus on the Family, also gave Hastert his blessing.
Hastert has attended numerous Religious Right meetings, including a Family Research Council discussion on AIDS and drug legalization.

(33,959 posts)I even got him to join up here....not sure if he is still here or not but this particular piece tombstoned his efforts as a candidate. All of the players are present....It appears that Glenn thought that Hall was the only one's sex crimes being covered up--it appears that Denny might have had some too. This was written in 2006.

"Speaker Dennis Hastert (R) should resign immediately. Texas families deserve leaders who actively protect our children rather than their own political power," said Glenn Melancon, Democratic candidate for Congress (TX 4th).
"Texas families want to know the answer to a simple question: Where does Ralph Hall stand? Will he stand up against Speaker Hastert's cover-up of Ex-Rep. Mark Foley's predatory behavior?" Melancon said. "Anyone who is willing to turn his back while a predator lurks in the halls of Congress is unfit to be in Congress. Speaker Hastert must resign now," Melancon said.
Ralph Hall's own official actions have already come under scrutiny. In 1997 Hall worked with Jack Abramoff to block federal investigations into child labor, rape, prostitution, and forced abortions in a United States' territory, the Commonwealth of the Mariana Islands. Melancon has thoroughly documented the Hall-Abramoff connection by revealing the corrupt lobbyist's billing records on www.RalphHallofShame.com <http://www.RalphHallofShame.com>.
"Hall has already disgraced his name and insulted the people of this district by siding with Jack Abramoff and the corrupt government of the Mariana Islands," Melancon said. "Hall must not reward Hastert's sex crime cover-up. Let's hope Hall chooses human dignity over political power this time."
