Paul Ryan not only took over $25,000 in “donations” which some people are calling “hush money” from pedophile Dennis Hastert, he also flat out refused to return it even after Hastert was convicted.

Pedophile Dennis Hastert has donated money to Paul Ryan as recently as 2012.
In another twist of irony, Hastert pleaded guilty to charges on the same day Paul Ryan was nominated to replace the old drunk, Weeper Boehner. Kind of creepy there.
Hastert, who served as House speaker from 1999-2007, pleaded guilty in a $3.5 million hush money case last week in Chicago on the same day that Ryan was nominated by Republicans to serve as speaker.
Hastert admitted to structuring money transactions in a way to evade requirements to report where the money was going. In addition, Hastert was charged with making false statements to federal investigators.
As part of a plea deal, Hastert pleaded guilty only to the count of hiding money transactions.
Two sources with knowledge of the federal investigation told CNN in June that Hastert was paying a former student to stay quiet about allegations of sexual abuse from when he was a wrestling coach and teacher in Yorkville, Illinois.
