Where’s Dennis Hastert?

Washington Post: “Hastert’s longtime network of aides and associates in Washington remain bewildered by the lack of information, both about the nature of the sexual abuse allegations and whether Hastert has even hired a criminal defense lawyer. When a current or former public official is charged, usually an attorney representing the official quickly releases a statement defending his client. Yet no information has been made available about the identity of Hastert’s legal team.”

“In another unusual aspect of Hastert’s case, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Chicago said Hastert would be ordered to appear for arraignment on a ‘later date’ in federal court, but that date has not yet been specified. Initial court appearances quickly follow an indictment in most federal cases.”
