Allegedly Dennis Hastert was being blackmailed by a victim of his past.  Surfacing now are reports that while he was a teacher and coach in Illinois, prior to congress, he sexually molested a victim.  That victim blackmailed him.  The blackmail was exposed by the FBI/Treasury tracking large cash withdrawals from his bank account.
More thoughts after article:

YORKVILLE, Ill. — J. Dennis Hastert, the longest-serving Republican speaker in the history of the U.S. House, was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury on charges that he violated banking laws in a bid to pay $3.5 million to an unnamed person to cover up “past misconduct.”
Hastert, 73, who has been a high-paid lobbyist in Washington since his 2007 retirement from Congress, schemed to mask more than $950,000 in withdrawals from various ac­counts in violation of federal banking laws that require the disclosure of large cash transactions, according to a seven-page indictment delivered by a grand jury in Chicago.

BREAKING – U.S. Marshals have arrested Eric Sheppard Jr., in Tampa Florida after a month long manhunt.  Sheppard was originally wanted for firearms violations, threats against students, and most recently terrorism threats specifically against white people in Georgia…. 
TAMPA, Fla. — The Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that Eric Sheppard was arrested in Tampa, Florida Thursday morning without incident.
Sheppard is widely known for stomping and walking on an American flag during a protest at Valdosta State University in April.
According to arrest records, 21-year-old Sheppard was arrested around 11:15 a.m. Thursday in the 2000 block of Balfour Court in Tampa.
An arrest warrant had been out for Sheppard since deputies found a gun that belonged to him in a backpack on Valdosta State University’s campus in late April.
Sheppard had previously walked and stomped on an American flag on campus in protest. (more…)

The story of Ben Kruidbos (pronounced “Cried-Boss”) is a story of what happens when a man of integrity stands up against a legal authority built on corruption and political self-interest.

Yesterday a Florida Judge delivered a ruling, with extreme prejudice, against his former boss, State Attorney Angela Corey – thereby allowing a lawsuit filed by Ben to continue.

Those of you who followed the trial of George Zimmerman may remember Ben; those of you who are not familiar with the specifics might find a parallel to the current headlines of what is happening in Baltimore Maryland in the office of State Attorney Marilyn Mosby.

Ben Kruidbos was the Information Technology Director, the technology expert, within the office of the Jacksonville State Attorney Angela Corey ~Full Backstory~.  In his position he was charged with retrieving and reviewing the phone data contained in the cell phone of Trayvon Martin.

The office of Angela Corey held a vested interest in the content of Trayvon’s cell phone because, as we would later discover, the content therein showed how Trayvon’s mother, Sybrina Fulton, and his father, Tracy Martin, lied to state investigators about the details surrounding Trayvon’s activities prior to his encounter with George Zimmerman.

On Tuesday April 28th, just two days prior to announcing charges against the Baltimore Six police officers in the death of Freddie Gray, Marilyn Mosby gave a speech where she stated: “so we will pursue, justice by any and all means necessary” (video segment @1:40):

On Wednesday April 29th Baltimore Police Chief Batts was told by sources from the State Attorney office that Mosby was going to make an announcement by the end of the week. To the surprise of the investigative team Batts gave Mosby’s office the investigative report on Thursday April 30th, even before it was completed.
The same urgency message was relayed to the city Medical Examiner.

[…] homicide investigators who were briefed by the medical examiner’s office believed the examiner’s autopsy report would likely find the cause of death to fall short of homicide. (link)

However, on the morning of Friday May 1st, the Medical Examiner signed off on a copy of his report and included the cause of death as “homicide”.   Oddly, labeling the death as “homicide” while simultaneously stating the “fatal injury occurred inside the transport van“.  (more…)

~ AGAIN, The Social Justice Crowd is Trying To Win By Losing ~

Earlier this week the DOJ lost an appeal to lift an injunction put in place by Judge Andrew Hanen, which blocks execution of President Obama’s Immigration Executive Action.  The injunction remains in place.
The DOJ had two options after their loss in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.
♦ They could request a summary review by the U.S. Supreme Court (the 5th CCA district review SCOTUS justice is Antonin Scalia).  Or, ♦ they could ask for the entire panel of the 5th CCA to seat and hear full oral arguments.   The DOJ has chosen the latter.

The Hill is reporting the 5th Circuit has expedited the request and will hear oral arguments on July 10th, (written arguments previously filed with original judicial appeal).
Meanwhile, the DOJ will have to move forward on defending the merits of the underlying case which stems from a lawsuit filed by Texas, and joined by 26 other states, claiming the Obama Executive Action is an unconstitutional overreach of power, and therefore illegal.

A scathing expose’ by Megyn Kelly today, outlining much of our research on activist Baltimore State Attorney Marilyn Mosby, leads to Team Mosby claiming a “twitter hacking” and blocking visibility of Mosby’s earlier prejudicial video statements.
First the Megyn Kelly segment (first 7 minutes):

The video used in the segment was first shared here on May 4th, and highlights a speech Mosby gave at a Multicultural Prayer Movement.  The research thread was part one of a three part series outlining ‘Why Mosby Should Be Recused’.  Part II and III HERE
As soon as the Kelly File segment aired, that video was shut down and has now been made private.  However, Chuck Ross at the Daily Caller had already picked up the speech outline several weeks ago and copied the Mosby segment.  (available here)
In addition, the Controversial Social Media postings originally brought to our attention by Froggie and again shared by the Daily Caller earlier today were claimed to be “hacked”.
The Anthony Weiner defense: (more…)

(HatTip Froggie) Newly discovered video shows Baltimore State Attorney Marilyn Mosby while she was in college and unmarried (going by her maiden name of Marilyn James) in 2000-2001 when she appeared on the Judge Judy show (Season #5, Episode #119).
On the show she is suing a building business owner for damages as a result of his taking custody of her apartment (above the shop) while she was home between college semesters.

Born 01/22/1980 Marilyn Mosby (James) would have been approximately 20-years-old when this show was taped.
Also Froggie points out something interesting.  Check out the type of Twitter Messages that Marilyn Mosby favors on her social media.   Biased much?

It takes some kind of nerve to intentionally “provide space for people to destroy” a city, and then ask everyone who doesn’t live in the city to pay for it.

…”The $20 million estimate released by city officials does not include the cost to businesses of the unrest. The figure also does not include state or federal costs. It’s unclear when those figures will be tallied”…

Look closely at the business visited by Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings in this tweet she sent today:

BDC & @SBAgov continue working closely w/ impacted businesses—like @SportsMartbmore. For info: http://t.co/kQRFVL2RBT pic.twitter.com/K260DtcMRU

You might remember this same business became a victim of Mayor Rawlings decision to allow the rioting mob “space to destroy”. (more…)

Ann Coulter has a new book coming out, “Adios America“.  Essentially a full throated point of advocacy outlining the inherent danger of illegal immigration.  As part of her pre-release publicity tour Ms. Coulter is making media rounds to advocate her positions for the arguments within it.
With that in mind – she walks into the lions den of amnesty support in an interview with Jorge Ramos. (The full interview will air on Fusion TV tomorrow):

“I have a little tip. If you don’t want to be killed by ISIS, don’t go to Syria. If you don’t want to be killed by a Mexican, there’s nothing I can tell you,” Coulter said in an interview Tuesday with Fusion’s Jorge Ramos. (link)

Now it might seem, at least initially, that most conservatives would align with the presented arguments of Ms. Coulter as she opines about the inherent danger caused by the borderless global leftists and their dangerous immigration policies.
However, her latest position, while indeed an argument I personally would agree with, highlights something even more dangerous to our Republic and provides an example of something almost NO-ONE pays attention to. Ms. Coulter is like an arsonist amid the fire department. (more…)

Texas Judge Hanen previously blocked Obama’s unconstitutional “Executive Action on immigration” which expanded deferred deportation and granted employment status for illegal aliens.  The DOJ appealed the injunction to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. Today Hanen’s injunction was upheld by the appellate court, the DOJ lost.

BREAKING: Texas just won the Executive Amnesty case at the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. The constitution wins. #tcot #txlege

Update 2: Here’s the 68 page ruling:

UPDATE 1: Fox’s Shannon Bream has a great video explanation HERE. 

(Via FOX) Two out of the three judges voted Tuesday to deny the government’s request, as the underlying case is argued.  The majority opinion reasoned that lifting the temporary hold — known in judicial parlance as a “stay” — could cause serious problems for states should they ultimately win their challenge. It said the states have shown that “issuance of the stay will substantially injure” them. (more…)
