Feds Seek Order To Protect Sensitive Details In Dennis Hastert Charges

Federal prosecutors asked for a protective order Friday in the criminal case against former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert that would keep any sensitive information — including the identity of the alleged victim at the center of the allegations — from being revealed even after the case has been completed.

"The discovery to be provided by the government in this case includes sensitive information, the unrestricted dissemination of which could adversely affect law enforcement interests and the privacy interests of third parties," the filing said

The motion for a protective order, which prosecutors said has been agreed to by Hastert's attorneys, is typically a routine request in criminal cases, but the government filing has drawn media interest because of the sensational allegations in the high-profile case.

56 shot, 12 dead In Chicago's Memorial Day Weekend 

By Thomas Lifson, May 26, 2015, American Thinker

The carnage among black young men in Chicago escalates as the weather warms, yet no leftists or race agitators seem to care. The police shooting of a young man in Cleveland draws demonstrations, but the ongoing large scale slaughter in Chicago goes largely unremarked among the demonstrator class or national media.

The Chicago Tribune reports:

At least 56 people were shot over Memorial Day weekend between Friday afternoon and early Tuesday morning, according to authorities.

Twelve people, including three shot Monday afternoon, died from their wounds. Twelve others shot between late Monday morning and early Tuesday morning survived their gunshot wounds, bringing the total of non-fatal gunshot victims for the weekend to 44.

No race is mentioned for any of the victims, but based on past data, nearly all are likely to be black, for it is black neighborhoods that most shootings have been occurring. And unlike any police-involved shootings:

No one was in custody for any of the attacks, and police were investigating.

PGA President's Ouster Shows Quick Reaction To Sexist Comments 

Rob Gloster, Oct. 27, 2014, Bloomberg News

Ousted PGA of America President Ted Bishop became the latest sports executive punished for making insensitive comments, reflecting a growing effort by sports bodies to react decisively on sexist or racist comments.

Bishop's removal came one day after he referred to England's Ian Poulter as a "little school girl squealing during recess," and a week after a Russian tennis official was suspended for mocking Serena and Venus Williams as the "Williams brothers."
