The general public has a fairly short memory and doesn't actually care much about Hastert any more. 'Politician turns out to be a massive hypocrite' isn't that big of a news story, and Hastert hasn't been politically active in recent years. Close to an election I might agree but at this time I doubt it would have any great impact. The GOP is a lot more worried about Trump than about Hastert.
