So close, but I think she's got it a little backwards.

How does America forget that the longest serving Republican speaker of the house was a Pedophile?
CNN —
Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert on Wednesday was sentenced to 15 months in prison and ordered to pay $250,000 to a victims’ fund in a hush money case that revealed he was being accused of sexually abusing young boys as a teacher in Illinois.
He was also sentenced to two years of supervised release once he finishes his prison term.
For the first time, Hastert, 74, admitted to Judge Thomas M. Durkin in open court that he abused an unspecified number of boys.
One of the survivors of Hastert’s abuse, Scott Cross, described the fallout from his actions in court.
“As a 17-year-old boy I was devastated,” said Cross, who was previously identified as individual D and is the brother of a Hastert political supporter. “I tried to figure out why Coach Hastert had singled me out. I felt terribly alone. Today I understand I did nothing to bring this on, but at age 17, I could not understand what happened or why.”
A sister of one of the other victims who has since died also called on Hastert to admit his wrongdoing.
Durkin, of the Northern District of Illinois, told Hastert that he should participate in a sex offender treatment program. The judge, who spent 30 minutes criticizing the former speaker for his actions, also cautioned Hastert to refrain from communicating with his alleged victims.

What the elites are counting on is that, when all is said and done, "the American people" don't really care all that much.
And the elites are probably right.

"Files" [plural]
Which files? How does anybody know how many there actually are, which ones will be exposed, which ones will be kept secret?
I've lost interest. I may pick up Whitney Webb's "One Nation Under Blackmail" since it might be more exhaustive than anything this government admits and/or puts out.
