    The world is a slightly better place today. Fuck that guy with a pitchfork. May his grave be a public urinal and may public awareness of him as the longest serving republican speaker of the house and also a serial pedophile rapist live on forever.

    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.

    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.”
