Let’s examine in detail one of her charges,Brad and Anne. She claims she heard a Turkish national say that for $500k he could get Hastert to pull the Armenian Resolution.
As far as I can tell this resolution os a Potemkin one–raised regularly to assuage the Armenian community and then dropped because it is so offensive to a key ally.
Therefore, one can safely assume that the person making the offer was simply a crook trying to get money out of someone. When the resolution was dropped as it always is, he could claim credit for it.
Nevertheless, the dummies who fall for this stuff look at Sibel’s “Rogue’s Gallery”, see Hastert’s face in it–and it is in ONLY because of this call–and assume he’s guilty of something nefarious–like taking a $500k bribe–never established–to drop a resolution he’d have been against in any event.
