Hastert Portrait Removed from House Hallway

[SteveRogers]

I completely agree with Classic Conservative. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the hush money part either.

I guarantee you that you have never been more wrong in your life.

It is commonsense that structuring should not be a crime when no other crime bring committed let alone when they are a victim of other crimes. What good does taking this case do? It's utter silliness, and they are only doing it as statutes expired for other crimes.

What good does structuring your transactions do? It is worth noting that the prosecutor in such cases is required to prove that the defendant knew about the reporting requirements and purposefully structured their transactions to avoid them. Yes, the law is designed to prevent individuals from hiding the flow of cash to and from criminal activity, but it wouldn't be a very useful law if you had to prove the existence of another crime in order to charge it. The whole point is that the hiding of the money is itself a crime.

They apparently put up a portrait of a different speaker from the 1920s when they removed Hastert. So it doesn't sound like Hastert is the only one who doesn't have his portrait currently displayed.  If they had a portrait of everyone except him up, I would be against this, but as it is it's fine.
