Democrat Alcee Hasitngs Used $220,000 From From Tax Payer sexual Harassment Slush Fund
Pacific Pundit ^ | 12/8/2017 | Pacific Pundit

Alcee Hastings, a far left Democrat from Florida used the tax payer funded slush fund to pay off a sexual harassment case made against him by a former staffer. $220,000! This is about three times the amount Republican Blake Farenthold used from that say tax payer slush fund to settle a similar claim. Farnenthold, who I thin needs to resign says he will pay back the $81,000 he used. The left wing media hasn’t even mentioned Alcee Hastings or his $220,000 settlement. Obviously because he’s a Democrat. The payoff was made in 2014 and was kept secret, until now

As a previously impeached judge, this further behavior should have been enough for the House Ethics Committee to oust this charlatan from American public life once and for all.

I thought maybe he used most of it but I knew he used some. The more Left, the more corrupt!

Wasn’t Hastings impeached, convicted and removed for fraud or bribery or something?

He should be arrested for tax evasion. He received a $220,000 benefit by having a 3rd party pay is debts. The $220,000 is income to him.

I know this will sound Racist and probably will be blocked, but nobody else will say it, so I will. When the total names of those who used the slush fund to pay off their Sexual Harassment claims are revealed, take a look at the number of Black Representatives who are members of the Black Congressional Caucus who are amongst those named. It may be revealing, although the media will never highlight it. Conyers and Hastings may be just the tip of the Iceberg.

The POSs should be forced to pay it all back to the taxpayers.

yes, impeached for bribery, then elected to the House, as someone else said, the Democrats are just too pure!

Perhaps the fund is misnamed.

Free mistress payments perhaps is a better category for the deadbeats.

This goes further than those who are so lacking in integrity that they use government money as a hush fund. They're compromised beyond being able to govern effectively, for sure. They should go. But who in the US Senate or HOR knew about the fund? Anyone who knew about it and was okay with it should go, too. If it means all of them would have to go, it sure would go a long way toward draining the swamp.

Instead, they're enabling "guilty until proven innocent" witch hunts. And a lot of it is against people who might or might not have human flaws. I'm all for letting the voters decide if the pol who has been targetted never used government money to pay anyone off and hasn't been convicted of anything criminal.

Being a Democrat probably shielded him from being banned from future federal office after he was convicted in the Senate. This should drive him out of office for good.

Nothing is being done to him because he has “black privilege”.
