Also... Dennis Hastert's mentor Dallas Ingemunson and his former boss Durston "Buck" Ohse represented the interests of Paul Ricca - aka "the Waiter" aka Paul DeLucia
aka head of the Chicago Outfit
and de-facto brains of the outfit from Capone to Giancana.

Sometime during the 1930s, Ricca bought an 1100 acre farm from the former GOP state representative, C. Hoge (whose original source of wealth was in slavery on the East Coast) in the far southwest part of Kendall County (outlined below), along the Grundy and Lasalle County lines.

And, might I add, the transaction seemed to be at above-market rates for the time period... I can find that data again if needed.

At minimum, both Ohse & Ingemunson handled some of the transactions for that property - and both served as Kendall County States' Attorney.

Although Ingemunson took over after Ohse was incapacitated by a.... heart attack - similar to how Hastert first reached office....

And, note - Both Ohse and Hastert were involved in the local Boy Scouts.

Ricca - although locally known under various names - used to come into county offices with his armed bodyguards.

Francis Curry was the farm manager while Ricca was serving his term for involvement in the Hollywood Corruption Scandal...

He was also head of the Outfit's gambling operations in nearby Joliet and 2 other nearby counties, and one of the chief suspects in the disappearance of Molly Zelko, a local journalist fighting corruption.

(this podcast TOTALLY worth listening to, btw)

And a wiseguy got Bobby Kennedy to come dig for her body in a random field in Joliet.... WHILE, of course, Curry was simultaneously managing an 1100 acre farm 30 miles away.

In any case, anyone who is interested in the state of current political affairs -- I encourage you to look at the history of how serial child sexual predators were able to rise to positions of power...

There's more, and there are additional threads to pull out here for sure...

but some document requests I can't make myself due to security concerns - someone at a distance or without family in the area might be able to help remotely without undertaking personal risk, though.

But if you're outraged by what you heard in today's hearing.... remember that Ingemunson was the one who permitted and promoted Hastert's ascendancy to the 3rd highest office in the nation AFTER his rape of a 9 year old victim in a public restroom

web.archive.org/web/2017121716…

and moreover, after that victim was threatened into silence by Ingemunson in his official role as the State's prosecutor for the Kendall County....

And was later refused the opportunity to file charges or a civil suit... because Statute of Limitations.

& when a multi-person cover-up for THAT crime alone stretched from the 1980s through to 2015...

esp if something suspicious happens to keep that victim from attending the trial of the only case where cause has been deemed to be within SOL...

Smells like RICO spirit to me....

Don't forget: Jury selection in Hastert's trial starts Monday.
