DENNIS HASTERT,  MR. "A", AND THE  IRS

Former Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert has agreed to plead guilty to structuring withdrawals of money from his bank account to avoid reporting requirements of the IRS.  Hastert was reportedly paying  hush money to a " Mr. A " to keep quiet about improprieties committed with students while a wrestling  coach . This all occurred years ago before being elected to the House.
 
"Mr. A" ,it seems is a blackmailer and an extortionist, who was supposed to receive $3.7 million dollars to keep quiet. It seems "Mr. A" will not be identified, or charged in the case.
 
Also, no charges will be brought concerning the inappropriate behavior with the students.
 
My question is, how can you blackmail someone, for this amount of money and remain unidentified? No matter the circumstances a serious law has been broken. A law that is much more serious than taking money out of your own bank account.  
 
No defender of Hastert, I have to ask why no questions from the media?  I suspect that there must be other people involved with this that must be protected at all cost.
