Not that what Hastert did was right or anything, but what business is it of the government how much money you take out of the bank and when and why?
Via USA Today:
Hastert, who was once the third-highest ranking elected official in America, was surrounded by his attorneys and federal marshals who escorted him out of the downtown courthouse to a waiting car following the hearing. He did not comment to reporters.
The indictment, unsealed nearly five months ago, referred to the alleged wrongdoing by Hastert as “prior misconduct” against someone identified as “Individual A” but did not offer any details. But federal law enforcement officials told USA TODAY that Hastert made illegally structured withdrawals as part of an effort to conceal sexual misconduct he committed against a male student decades earlier when he worked at Yorkville High School.
