1. He was convicted of lying to the FBI. Not sexual abuse of minors ( because of statues of limitation)

2. He was made by the judge to admit to abusing 2 of the 5 victims alleged . But he was NOT convicted of those crimes.

3. Rachel.seems factually correct. BUT Hastert should rot in hell for what he freely admitted.

They are no longer alleged. I know the longest serving ReTHUG Speaker of the House and third in line to the Presidency was convicted of lying to the Federal government. Why did he lie? To cover up his abuse of boys.
