The Corporate Crime Reporter has just summarized that Sibel Edmonds is coming out identifying Dennis Hastert as someone who's being bought off for political favors by Turks contributing to his political campaign. It looks like the truth is coming out folks!

Vanity Fair: Turks Boasted of Payments to Hastert
19 Corporate Crime Reporter 32(1), August 3, 2005

Turkish officials boasted of giving “tens of thousands of dollars in surreptious payments” to House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Illinois) in exchange for political favors.

That allegation is contained a profile of Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) whistleblower Sibel Edmonds in the current issue of Vanity Fair magazine.

The article, “An Inconvenient Patriot,” by British writer David Rose, alleges that Edmonds was asked to listen to wiretaps as part of what appeared to be an FBI public corruption probe into bribes paid to members of Congress – both Democrat and Republican.

Rose, citing “some of the wiretaps,” reports that “the FBI’s targets had arranged for tens of thousands of dollars to be paid to Hastert’s campaign funds in small checks.”

...

Here's another link from POGO's site which has a roughly scanned version of the Vanity Fair article. Let's DU this magazine and cause it to have a sales record folks! I'm going out to buy one as soon as it shows up next week!
