"Richter said for the first time in 30 years he thought about the "La-Z-Boy-type" chair where prosecutors said Hastert would sit and watch as boys showered in the locker room. Federal prosecutors on Friday provided new details on the sex abuse allegations against Hastert."

"I remember this chair. Purportedly 'to keep boys from fighting,'" Richter wrote on Twitter late on Friday. He said he had not thought about the chair in 30 years, and that no one apparently questioned it at the time.

So GBS, in what ways do you abuse young boys to "keep them from fighting?" I thought back in those days people used a switch or a belt, this is a but unorthodox.

A man third in line to be president from 1999 to 2007 sexually abused children. The eagle eyed watchmen of our great nation discovered this only eight years after he stopped being the third most powerful man in government.

The National Wrestling Hall of Fame named Hastert to its "Hall of Outstanding Americans" in 2000.
The Three Fires Council of the Boy Scouts of America has honored Hastert with its distinguished service award.

As speaker, Hastert also oversaw the passage of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.

Such groups as the National Right to Life Committee, the Christian Coalition, the Chamber of Commerce and the National Rifle Association all gave his voting record perfect scores of 100. The American Conservative Union gave him an 88.

Hastert was known as a frequent critic of Bill Clinton, and immediately upon assuming the speakership, he "played a lead role" in the impeachment of the president.

In a December 2006, the House Ethics Committee determined that Hastert and other congressional leaders were "willfully ignorant" in responding to early warnings of the Mark Foley congressional page scandal, but did not violate any House rules.

On June 2, 2015, following the unsealing of the indictment against Hastert the previous month, the Denny Hastert Yorkville Invitational, "one of the most popular wrestling club tournaments in Illinois," would likely be renamed.

It's all so weird because he rose to the Speakership on the strength of being totally unremarkable. The Republican leadership was busy trying to impeach Clinton and they'd run into a few scandals of their own so found this boring backbencher from nowhere to be a figurehead while Tom Delay oozed around. Turns out the guy was a child molester.

They took his picture down from the gallery of Speakers they have in a the Capitol. So a hundred years from now tourists will wonder why there's an eight-year gap, look it up on whatever their smart-phone equivalent is, and learn that Dennis Hastert was a kiddy-fiddler. He's been immortalized.

I suppose it was better to remove it than having to deal with daily vandalism of his portrait. Security guards would have to constantly look the other way when someone comes in to spraypaint "CHILD RAPIST" or whatever

I thought there were two people named hastert, one a child molesting wrestling coach the other some gop nerd with a rule named after him. Turns out its the same guy? Lmao

Alas, the federal and state statute of limitations on Hastert’s sex crimes has expired, which is why prosecutors are asking for about as much as they can — six months in prison on the banking charges to which Hastert plead guilty.

wait. that is a thing that they admit exists? i mean, that is obviously what they do instead of the voting which is supposedly their jobs, but i wasnt aware that they publicly admitted as much.

also that big bio post makes it sound like passing no child left behind is something laudable.

I suspect that because of the nature of their disgusting perversion, pedophiles tend to watch each others' backs, so if one gets into a position of power, he holds open the back gate for all his little buddies. They're kind of like roaches in that way, or the killer androids from "Second Variety."

Unironically string them up with piano wire and put their bodies on display in front of the court house.

I suspect the individuals with these perversions have had years of daily practice blending into society so their predatory nature does not arouse suspicion.
