It's not surprising that you miss the point entirely. I'm not defending the guy in any way. What I'm saying is that in terms of the law it is completely irrelevant what he did 35 years ago. The statute of limitations has expired. It doesn't matter what any of us think about the guy. He may be the worst guy in the world. We are still a country about laws. I don't like it when the government abuses the law. These banking laws are intrusive enough when they are used to try to catch the people that they are designed to catch. This case is not what those laws are for. At this point, any financial arrangement between Hastert and his former student is between them. This is none of the government's business at this point in time. It was the government's business 35 years ago when the crime was committed. It is the same with Bill Cosby. The guy may be a creep, but at this point there is nothing that can be done. The statute of limitations is up.
