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.

Wouldn't bribery to conceal a crime also be a crime or do you miss that point conveniently. Would lying to investigators to conceal that also be a crime? But of course you miss that entirely as you defend a child molester who happens to be a republican.
