Hey! Is Foley the reason Fat Denny Hastert was so pissed at the FBI

[yellowcanine]

raiding Jefferson's office???? Makes sense and the timing would be right. He might have thought the FBI might find out about Foley and raid his office, thus discovering that Hastert had covered up the crime.

1. Ohhhhh.....Intriguing and yet so tantalizingly possible....

You are right..this could be the very reason he was pissed....

But as I think about it....what if it's not just the Foley crimes....but what if there are more covered up actual criminal acts? Hastert is sloppy and careless and a bully.....and capable of bringing the Repugs down....

[Ikonoklast]

2. Conspiring to cover up a crime

From what I hear is a very serious offense. They knew and did NOTHING.



And now, we start to see the arrogance of those that ignore the rule of law get destroyed by it.

[MadMaddie]

3. Yes...and the Dems have to be aggressive about investigations

and if the the Repugs fight it then the Dems need to jump on that and ask why are the Repugs fighting investigations?

[MsMagnificent]

16. Pardon while I...

:rofl:

I agree MadMattie, don't get me wrong... but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for any aggressiveness from this current bunch of Dem's, in general :(

4. I really think you nailed it!!

As soon as I read your post, I knew it was the truth.

Call it a feeling, but I'm pretty sure you are right.

5. Holy shit Bat-Turd

My goodness you have nailed it. Very nice observation. Certainly some precedent setting that Hastert knew could bite him in his butter and lard filled ass-cheeks.

[snowbear]

6. LOL.... Holy $hit bat turd !!

Too funny maseman!

Butchoo know what...

I think you guys are RIGHT!! ...

Good detective work Canine!

7. I bet you're right

They didn't want there to be a precedent for the FBI to go into the House, thinking there would be no way to get the evidence if they couldn't get the computers. I wondered why they were siding with Democrats on that one, now it makes perfect sense.

8. But even if they found kiddie porn on Foley's hard drive, he had a ready

excuse.. just research he was doing as co-chair of the Missing and Exploited Childrens committee.

You know rooting out all those child predators on the INTERNETS.

Sick. Sick. Sick.

[ShortnFiery]

9. You just can't make this stuff up! Oh the Hypocrisy! :( n/t

[WinkyDink]

10. It's been my theory from the gitgo that that IS the raison d'etre for

this Committee.
Because the claim that they are trying to ID the children and rescue them is ludicrous, given the international nature of porn and the innumerable orphans and sold kids.

11. No, it is about the FBI and the tape they have about the bribe

from the Turkish government that he took.

[annabanana]

13. Yup. . . Hastert has enough (Turkey) on his plate

to keep him on his toes.

[tsuki]

14. See my new post. Real Estate, Bribes, Abramoff, Northern Mariannas

and Sex. He's a one man powerhouse "Culture of Corruption."

[SpiralHawk]

12. Republion corruption is endless and...

Fat Denny is among the most "inside" of the "special" "insiders."

nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

15. I seriously doubt that Foley is the slimiest skeleton in the RW closet. nt
