Speaker Hastert Not Under Investigation

The White House, Justice Department, and Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert are in full damage control mode after reports on Wednesday that said Hastert was under investigation by the FBI.

The Department of Justice (after getting complaints from Hastert and the White House no doubt) has now stated that Hastert is not under investigation.

Certainly he is involved in some way. I think he's knee deep in the Jack Abramoff mess.

Someone's lying... as usual. We won't know until more criminal charges come.

But that's why I didn't jump on the story Wednesday, like most others did. I have been learning that you have to wait a few hours for confirmation of some of these big stories, before posting anything.

But there's definitely something to this story.
