The longest serving Speaker of the House (1999-2007) <a href="  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Hastert">John Dennis Hastert</a> - was just released from federal prison.  He was indicted by a federal grand jury for evading bank laws in 2015.  He structured withdrawls from different bank accounts as part of a 3.5 million dollar hush-money blackmail attempt to cover up some of his past sexual crimes.

A "serial child molester" was the label Judge Thomas Durkin gave Hastert and through a plea bargain, gave him only a 15 month prison sentence for the banking charge.   He was also fined $250K with two years of supervised release.  Hastert admitted in court that he had sexually molested at least 4 boys during his time as a high school teacher/ wrestling coach (1965-1981).

“I want to apologize to the boys I mistreated…. They looked (up) at me and I took advantage of them.” Hastert said.  Under Illinois law, he would have been sentenced to 3-7 years in state prison for even 1 count of sexual misconduct  involving a minor.
