I know senior citizens (longtime fox watchers) who have never heard of pervert Hastert OR his arrest despite him having been the longest-serving (R 1999-2007) House Speaker in History. Wiki: first elected to US House of Reps 1986, retired 2007; employed by Yorkville Community Unit School District 115 for 16 years, 1965 to 1981… during the time that he coached wrestling, Hastert sexually abused at least four of his students.
April 27, 2016 Judge sentences 'serial child molester' Hastert to 15 months
CHICAGO — Former House speaker Dennis Hastert, who less than a decade ago stood second in line to the presidency, was sentenced to 15 months in federal prison.. sexually abused teen boys more than 30 years ago. Federal Judge called Hastert, 74, a "serial child molester" “I want to apologize to the boys I mistreated,” Hastert said. “They looked (up) at me and I took advantage of them.” https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/04/27/ex-speaker-dennis-hastert-faces-sentencing-chicago/83584440/
NON-mainstream Journalists were trying to get the word out, only to be drown out by ‘big name’ pundits: MAY 5, 2016 (Ben Sasse) …These young boys would run errands for Congressmen, and often sexual relationships would develop between the underage boys and members of Congress. Many suspected that the page program served as nothing more than a sex trafficking ring bringing pedophiles like Dennis Hastert naive young targets year after year. https://archive.ph/spr9d
6-11-14 Officials of the Nebraska government in Lincoln tried in vain to stop the use of their state for child sex trafficking during the infamous "Franklin” Scandal…. but thanks to pressure from the Reagan and Bush 41 administrations, there were never any prosecutions for child molestation and trafficking across state lines. https://archive.is/cOQJm ** https://rense.com/general96/whatdidsasse.html
Pedophilia enabling follows around GOP candidate (Sasse) for the U.S. Senate Aug 27, 2014 Omaha, of course, is infamous for the so-called "Franklin cover-up," the use of the Franklin Credit Union in the 1980s by a top GOP official… to launder money used for the trafficking of children, including orphans from Boy's Town, for purposes of sexual molestation. The scandal involved the Reagan and Bush White Houses and was aggressively investigated in front-page storiesby The Washington Times. https://archive.ph/F38DU
While looking for more Hastert stuff, came across Mark Levin circa 2006 re: Foley/young boys Page scandal (Need to find the TWT editorials Hewett & levin were referring to):
TUE, OCT 3, 2006 | BY HUGH HEWITT Mark Levin on the ridiculous call for Dennis Hastert to step down. HH: …Mark, your friends over at the Nationalreview.com seem ready to throw Denny Hastert under the bus.
ML:… I think this is really quite preposterous how so many conservatives, whether it is the Washington Times editorial page, or Richard Vigueri… but Denny Hastert had limited information… He’s the Speaker of the House, for God’s sakes. HH: And we both know there’s no investigative predicate here for the Speaker to have gone after Mark Foley. Now we know he should have, but in fact, there is no predicate…. ML: No. As a matter of fact, if I understand the news stories correctly, there was an FBI preliminary probe in July, and they dropped the matter. They didn’t go after instant messages. They didn’t start interviewing a slough of pages…and this is why what the Washington Times, a paper that I enjoy and respect, was utterly irresponsible. They don’t have enough information…. And I just refuse to roll over for this. I refuse to be part of this. HH: Now why the Washington Times? What…are they…is this just a false flag to pursue an agenda of a different sort?
ML: I have no idea. You know, there’s a little problem in Washington, D.C., and that is that every now and then, certain conservatives or conservative outlets want to appear to be acceptable to the big media, and so they go out front and they dump on their friends. HH: We’re both going to go off and do radio shows now, and defend the good, and Hastert. https://archive.is/mZcLx

No, the biggest problem in “D.C.” is the fact that blackmailed Uniparty perverts have been feasting on young boys for (how many?) decades, and they have their PRAVDA to protect them.
