Since Donald Trump introduced "The Swamp," it' become American slang for the corrupt and secretive underbelly of the Washington, D.C. Deep State.
One Swamp secret is the whole truth of Denny Hastert' life as a pederast. And, we are unlikely to ever know it--the whole truth.
John Dennis Hastert (DOB: January 2, 1942) quit his high school teaching and coaching position in Yorkville, Illinois, held from 1965-1981, to become a politician. Eventually, from 1999-2007, he was the longest-serving Republican Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives in American history.
His story will end with the unstated assumption that, after being a practicing pederast from at least 1968-1981, Hastert abandoned his deviant sexual proclivities and focused on becoming an honest and loyal servant of the people of his state and nation.
