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.”

The star chamber tactics of the Democrat Party ought to scare the bejesus out of any fair minded American. Their tyrannical proclivities are on display for all to see. After they stole control of the House they went on a totalitarian drinking bing. I wonder how crazed their withdrawal symptoms will become when they lose control in 2020.

It’s not clear whether there’s ever before in American history been a case of a congressman and his staffer purchasing a home together.

If I recall, David Bonior even went so far as to marry his staffer then kept her on his payroll.....at least that's what I think happened.

I would love to see President Trump go on the offense and start informing/reminding people of the crooked demonicRATS who are out to destroy him.

The democrats are a cancer that the republicans have left untreated for decades. The extent of their ineffective opposition has been to express outrage. Lindsey Graham’s latest genius tactic is to sign a petition. A petition? The democrats have full control over the republicans.

Williams and Hastings must have two freezers to keep all that much money.

Even Cons become congrees critters.

In 1981, a federal grand jury indicted Judge Alcee L. Hastings, appointed to the federal district court in 1979, along with his friend William A. Borders, a Washington, D.C. lawyer. Hastings was charged with conspiracy and obstruction of justice for soliciting a $150,000 bribe in return for reducing the sentences of two mob-connected felons convicted in Hastings’ court. A year after Borders was convicted of conspiracy, the result of an FBI sting effort, Hastings’s case came before the criminal court. Despite Borders’ conviction, and the fact that Hastings had indeed reduced the sentences of the two felons, he was acquitted in a criminal court in 1983 and returned to his judicial post.
