5:19 P.M. -
The House received a communication from Bonnie Walsh, Office of the Honorable J. Dennis Hastert, Speaker of the House. Pursuant to Rule VIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, Ms. Walsh notified the House that she had been served with a criminal subpoena for testimony issued by the Circuit Court for the 16th Judicial Circuit, DeKalb County, Illinois and that after consultation with the Office of General Counsel, she had determined that compliance with the subpoena was consistent with the precedents and privileges of the House.

2. I asked that yesterday and didn't get an answer.

I was hoping someone has access to FindLaw or something.

3. DeKalb County judges are usually far right - doubtful that she is in

any trouble.

4. Who the hell is Bonnis Walsh? I don't remember that name.

Circuit court in Ill. I know Denny is from Ill. What's the connection?

6. This could be something completely un-related to Hastert.

She probably lives out in DeKalb County, and this subpoena could involve a number of civil matters in that court. Is it a local court, or a US Court? This release does use the words 'criminal subpoena', however. Maybe she hasn't been paying her parking tickets.
