Dennis Hastert indicted by Feds
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/denni...ry?id=31376076
Without knowing much detail, I find this article to be deeply disturbing. It seems that the crime that Dennis Hastert is accused of, is being a victim of a successful blackmailer, and "structuring" his cash withdrawals that he made to pay off and appease the blackmailer. Added to that is "lying to investigators", which seems like a garden variety retort that he "kept the money for himself". Is that really the kind of criminal behavior that endangers our society? What else is going on, is he falling victim to powerful enemies? I read some other stories recently, where "Muslim extremists" are similarly pursued by the FBI and put in prison for some ridiculous "crimes" like lying to the FBI. OK, in that case at least these "extremists" are sworn and overt enemies of the USA, so I wrote that off as a new normal. But what about Dennis Hastert? i |

Nothing ever came out of this (for me). Fortunately, I did not know much. I am sure that "not talking to investigators" is a lot harder than it seems. They do not come out and say "you are investigated for a crime", they come out and say "can you help us with investigation". They are trained to make you talk. This is what "Reid techniques" are about. i i |

Because you may have a right to sue if it was later found that illegal procedures were followed during the questioning. |

I heard of a guy that went to the police with some drugs he found hidden in an imported food package (quite a high street value). The police threatened to arrest him for possession of drugs unless he wore a wire to get the owner of the store to implicate himself. He did it because he was afraid (hope the guy doesn't have some buddies who will get pay-back on his car, wife, house, kids etc. And you wonder why people sometimes show a lack of interest in illegal goings-on. -- Best regards, Spehro Pefhany Amazon link for AoE 3rd Edition: http://tinyurl.com/ntrpwu8 Microchip link for 2015 Masters in Phoenix: http://tinyurl.com/l7g2k48 |

Dennis Hastert indicted by Feds
a video clip of his appearance on C-SPAN last November included a call from a viewer who identified himself as "Bruce from Illinois."
"Hello Denny, " the caller says in a youthful voice, to which Hastert replies, "Hey, how you doin?" "Remember me from Yorkville?" the caller asks. "Yeah, go ahead," Hastert replies, his eyes shifting left to right as he rolls his tongue over his lower lip. The caller then laughs in a high-pitched voice and the host cuts him off. -- http://nypost.com/2015/05/28/ex-hous...lated-charges/ |
