More on Hastert v. Soros
Today’s The Hill has a follow up piece.
Josh Marshall has it right:
The nugget of this one is really clear. Hastert goes on Fox raising questions about the source of Soros’s money; and when he’s called to account he responds by pointing to groups to which Soros gives his money. Hastert was trying to be cute with his words but that’s the way slimesters always operate.
And in his letter there’s even more dreck like this: “I also believe that 527 political organizations set a dangerous precedent for political discourse because we don’t know where the money comes from. For all we know, funding for some of the 527s might come from foreign sources or worse.”
