Hastings, 83, has employed a disbarred lawyer, Patricia Williams, on his congressional staff since at least 2000. She has been paid nearly $3 million in taxpayer-funded salary since that time,” the outlet reported Thursday.

“Property records show Williams and Hastings bought a $700,000 house together near Boynton Beach in 2017.”

But as horrific as this sounds, it’s not the worst of the congressman’s antics. Prior to joining Congress in 2013, Alcee Hastings worked for ten years as a district judge – up until he was impeached from office in 1989 for having accepted a $150,000 bribe.

Here’s the kicker: The attorney who represented him during the impeachment hearings was Williams, i.e., his current alleged girlfriend.

So why did the Palm Beach Post run this story at this time...?

Democrats need to come into the court with clean hands. But they stand guilty of everything they’ve imputed to Trump and more.

Railroading him won’t cure the fact this so-called impeachment is devoid of both credibility and legitimacy.

Let the Democrats choke on it.

It appears that the Trump Campaign investigators are doing their job by going on the offense.

Now it’s time to plaster the media with the facts.

Typical democRAT corruption.

They utilize a sleazy House member, who has been impeached and convicted of wrongdoing as a federal judge, as the one who writes the rules for this sleazy impeachment scam against Trump, all whilst he is breaking congressional rules himself by having his girlfriend work in his office against House rules.

Only the democRATS would think this was okay. The more corrupt their members, the better they like them.

Hastings reflects their highest ethical values.

joined his fellow equally cocky Democrats in stonewalling efforts by Republicans to install just a modicum of fairness in their otherwise unfair and unjust impeachment rules.

Fair rules? We don't need no steenkin fair rules

Rules to a Democrat are only a means to handicap their enemies. Neither oaths nor rules or their word mean anything to a Democrat.Rules, oaths, and one’s word of honor are only valid or have meaning if one has honor. Democrats have no honor, therefore, none of these are valid.

I’m in Dousche (Deitsch)’s district. I wrote him as an angry fed-up-w-Trump supporter whose vote for Dousche is on the line....

Hastings’ beau is just as corrupt as him.

A female ain't no "beau." A belle?

Maybe. But the word you're looking for is mistress.

Oooo! Can't use that word because . . . because that implies that old, "patriarchy" thing where an unscrupulous man could use his position of influence and wealth to entice a much-younger woman to live with him illicitly just because he could, and she's willing.

Which would be the case here and . . . virtually everywhere. It's a sin. And in this situation, a fact.

The very first word in the title, “Dem”, is all you need to know. Rules and laws don’t apply to them.

RULES? WE DON’T NEED NO STINKIN’ RULES!!

I’m telling you, what did Katie Hill in was the IRON CROSS! To the Left, RULES ARE REALLY JUST SUGGESTIONS. Don’t ever think that the Left cared about the sleazy relationships Hill had.

Hastings is 83 years old and has already been impeached as a Judge and still gets reelected every 2 years. We all know he is a crook and he could care less. He laughs all the way to the bank.

At his age, the eternal flame will soon be his retirement wage.

Trump’s attorneys should make him a witness if this comes to trial.

Democrats that vote for Alcee Hastings have got to be the most ignorant Americans in history.
