Glenn Greenwald: How many days does Denny Hastert have left?

(updated below - updated multiple time (Updates I-IV) - Update V)

Deciphering the Foley scandal events of the last few hours is a virtually impossible task, because all of the key players are contradicting one another (as well as their own earlier pronouncements) at a rate so fast and furious that it is difficult to keep track. What had been the huge news just hours ago -- the resignation (or termination, depending on whom you ask) of Tom Reynolds' Chief of Staff, Kirk Fordham -- now seems like old news. The only fact that emerges clearly is that the scandal grew a lot bigger today, and a lot worse for Republicans (UPDATE - things are much clearer now - see Update V below).
