Hastert under investigation in bribery scandal?

Interesting situation here. ABC News is reporting that House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) is being investigated for his role in the Jack Abramoff scandal (bribery, perhaps?). However, the Dept. of Justice says that no such investigation is occurring.

If ABC News is correct, then I think it’s safe to say that Hastert’s beef with the William Jefferson bribery investigation has jack sh#t to do with Hastert’s fidelity to the Constitution, and has everything to do with self-preservation and fear of being similarly vulnerable. Instapundit comes to the same conclusion.

If ABC News is wrong, then I suspect that Dan Rather and Mary Mapes have been hired by the network! ABC News stands by their story and makes several anonymous references to “officials” and “law enforcement sources”, which is great reason to be suspicious of the validity of the story.

About Me

I am a small-government social and fiscal conservative who values life, liberty, and property…AND ACCOUNTABILITY!

Modern liberalism is an evil, vile scourge on society that must be rendered impotent. This ideology has proven to be a demonstrable failure and incredibly harmful when administered on the body politic. That is why Normal America rejects it, and why most liberal politicians deny their liberal bent: they know that Normal America wants no part of it. The election of 2010 was irrefutable proof of that.

All viewpoints are welcome on my blog. However, if I ban you or edit/delete your comments, it’s because I found you to be offensive, repulsive, off-topic, or otherwise useless. My world, my rules. Deal with it, or beat it. You’re free to start your own blog with your own rules. WordPress charges nothing, and free seems to be a price that liberals can appreciate.

Finally, I had a happy childhood, so my worldview has NOT been “warped” by a lousy upbringing. Quite the contrary: I have been blessed, and my outlook has been molded accordingly. I won’t apologize for having grown up in a loving, middle-class family.
