Former Representative Mark Foley Congress escaped punishment by his resignation in the midst of the scandal. Proclaimed Dennis Hastert Speaker of the House that he did not do anything wrong, butHastert publicly stated that he takes full responsibility. Many in Congress worried about political consequences.
