    Who went to prison forrrrrrrrr… went to prison forrrrrrrrr…. Oh right:

    In 2015 he was accused of evading banking regulations as part of a plan to pay hush money to conceal unspecified “prior misconduct.” Nearly a year later, prosecutors said Hastert’s alleged misconduct involved the sexual abuse of teenage boys on his wrestling team in Yorkville, a small town west of Chicago.

      Who went unpunished for it. Basically GOP royalty. He fucked kids and fucked over the poor. I wish Hell existed. I’m glad he’s dead.

        If I could snap my fingers and make souls exist I would. It seems cruel that we only live to suffer and die. There should be an existence free from flesh and physical limitations.

    This piece of shit went to jail for one year for paying a bribe… to hide him raping children. Supported to the end by his colleagues.

    Also, indicative of his colleagues: the only reason he got the speaker position was because the leading candidate got disgraced for having extramarital affairs.

    EDIT: And this tiny bit that nobody seems to care about: “Hastert became wealthy largely through a complex web of transactions that coincided with one of his own highway earmarks increasing the value of land he had purchased in his district.”
