"[The Dennis] Hastert read a prepared statement in which he denied having any knowledge about the online conversations from 2003. 'No one in the Republican Leadership, nor Congressman Shimkus, saw those messages until last Friday when ABC News released them to the public.'"
This is easily disproven. Hastert will be caught in a lie, just when our appetite for them is...waning... and people will wonder whyever such a lurid... lurid scandal might be covered up. Don't want to open that can of worms, you know.
