An attorney for Dennis Hastert has told a federal judge that the former House speaker intends to plead guilty in a federal hush-money case.

John Gallo said during a brief hearing Thursday that he expects to have a written plea agreement by Monday. And he asked the judge to set a date for a change of plea. The judge scheduled an Oct. 28 hearing.

Gallo did not mention any of the terms, including what counts Hastert would plead guilty to.

A plea deal would avert a trial and help keep any potentially embarrassing secrets quiet.

How many times have you heard repubs speak ill of democrats. Now the same repubs that have been judging democrats are themselves perverted. THIS IS ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG, THERE ARE MANY MORE THAT NEED TO BE ROOTED OUT.

Make no mistake, Speedy, it's coming. All these SAM's around here are simply a bunch of wimps and wimp-ettes. It's all good, though. The reason they hate Hillary sooooo much, we're focusing on Benghazi soooo much, and are so infatuated with her server, thumb drive, cell phone, mp3 player, Bluetooth, and laptop is 'cause they have nothing else to stop her from winning.

Hell, both Rush and Michael have said in times past that she's a direct threat through her husband who is deadly in politics. Nuff said.
