SUMMARY: Sean Hannity advanced Fox News' witch hunt against Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools director Kevin Jennings by calling for his firing after claiming, despite evidence to the contrary, that Jennings failed to report "statutory rape" in 1988. But following the revelation that then-House Speaker Dennis Hastert had likely been aware of emails between then-Rep Mark Foley (R-FL) and a congressional page, Hannity and other Fox News personalities defended Hastert, with Hannity, for instance, suggesting that Republican leaders were "innocent people" who were being "smeared."
