BETRAYAL OF TRUST -Dennis Hastert, The Chicago Tribune & Federal Prosecutors —It’s about RAPE
As the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board has written, Dennis Hastert held the third highest office in the land. As a High School Teacher and Coach he Raped young men. He has plead guilty to Money Laundering.
BETRAYAL OF TRUST
As a teacher, he betrayed the trust of the young men, their parents, his profession and the entire community. He started as a teacher and retired as Speaker of the House. How many others did he rape while he moved up the ladder of Power?
I’d also like to point out that the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board, by declining to call the crime by it’s name, RAPE, is doing his part to betray the trust of its readers and the victims.
By side-stepping the issue, calling it “child abuse” and “sexual misconduct” the editorial board does it’s part to keep it’s readers in denial of the crime of rape.
Federal Prosecutors have “agreed to recommend a prison sentence of six months or less and drop the second charge of lying to the FBI… . They did not require Hastert to come clean.”
Dennis Hastert is a rapist. He will serve a short time in prison then be free to continue to commit more crime.
By ignoring the crime of rape, Federal Prosectors have betrayed the trust of all American Citizens.
Like Al Capone, Hastert as caught and prosecuted because of a financial trail. Capone served the rest of his life, A former Speaker of the House will serve 6 months.
I guess it’s the Chicago Way.
On second thought, it’s not the Chicago Way. It’s the American Way. Isn’t it?
Hastert once held the third-highest elected office in the nation. He pleaded guilty to a crime much less serious than the one prosecutors couldn’t or wouldn’t pursue. It’s fair to ask why they didn’t, and fair to demand assurances that they determined the full scope of his misconduct before disposing of the case with a plea that will net him six months or less.
This isn’t about money laundering. It’s about history.
