Denny Hastert indicted

Good, hope he pays.

for what?   Given how little we know about this case, I don't see how anyone could be emotionally invested in punishing him unless it is purely a matter of partisan schadenfreude.

After looking at what how Hastert got arrested (taking out under the 10,000 withdraw limit). Which is legal, but he took out like 3 million in like $9,200 withdrawments. I think that extortion is completely wrong, but Hastert has a right to pay blackmail if he would like to . I dislike Hastert, and if these allegations are true, then he is a scumbag and an awful person in general, but he technically shouldn't have gotten arrested for withdrawing under the limit that is legally allowed. IMO

There is no limit for withdrawing your own money. If you want to withdraw a $1,000,000 of your own money all at once, there's no law against that. However, the government will be notified by the bank that things look suspicious. After all, why would somebody do that. The FBI may want to ask you a few questions, but you still haven't broken any laws. Hastert has been indicted because he lied to the FBI about why he was withdrawing the money. That is the issue.

He lied saying he was doing one thing that isn't against the law when really he was doing something else that isn't against the law.  The prosecutors would have you believe this is worth 10 years in prison.
