BOMBSHELL!!!! Palmer to Fordham: Hastert was told by Palmer!

[originalpckelly]

We all suspected this, but here is the confirmation. On Countdown, David Shuster's sources told him in today's meeting of the House ethics committee that Kirk Fordham (Foley's former Chief of Staff) did indeed tell Scott Palmer (Hastert's Chief of Staff) about Foley's activities with the pages. The bombshell came when Fordham testified about his follow-up conversation with Palmer: Palmer did indeed tell Hastert!

If the AP puts out a story with that as its features and it is proved by a second source, Hastert will have to resign.

Oh yeah, I forgot, Fordham is under legal jeopardy if he wasn't telling the truth in his testimony before the committee...in other words this is probably true (even without a second source)!

I suppose that the final nail in the coffin for Hastert will be when/if Palmer testifies before the committee, as he has to tell the truth about the meeting or he can go to jail.
