And the Dem culture of corruption continues...

[Cincinatus' Wife]

According to the Sentinel, Alcee Hastings owed her “more than $500,000 in legal fees for representing him during his 1983 bribery trial and his 1989 impeachment hearings before Congress.” Alcee Hastings continues to employ her as his scheduling assistant, paying her more money than even his chief of staff gets, causing another reporter to comment, "She must be some scheduler."

Nobody ever answered the standing question:

Can a man who cannot pass the FBI background check handle National Security secret information?

>>>>>In 1989, Judge Hastings was impeached by the US House of Representatives for bribery and perjury. The Democratic-controlled Senate convicted Hastings of accepting a $150,000 bribe in 1981 in exchange for a lenient sentence and of perjury in his testimony about the case. Hastings said the charges against him smacked of racism.


Hezbollah or Hamas could raise that much over lunch with one of their wealthy benefactors. Pelosi really doesn't care if the terrorists nuke places East of San Francisco.

But that was then. Now is now.

Imagine if Republican Speaker Dennis Hastert appointed an impeached judge to a key committee chairmanship. Would not that be tied into the mantra "a culture of corruption" by the elite news media?

All of them are " rank". But is enjoyable to watch them stab each other in the back

Let's see, Abscam Murtha for House Majority Leader and Impeached Hastings for House Intelligence Committee (now there's three words that don't go together).

Nancy, you PROMISED us the most ETHICAL Congress in history.

Congratulations America - you thought the Pubbies were corrupt so you voted them out and now the most corrupt bunch of losers to ever serve are in charge.

[metmom]

So what is it with the dems? You can't serve in office without a history of illegal, immoral, or corrupt behavior? It's some kind of prerequistie now?

[rabidralph]

Bill Clinton and his staff did, so I guess that's precedent :-(

[hocndoc]

Bump this one often!

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

bump!!

BTTT

Nazi Pelosi tried to replace Jane Harman before. This time I do not believe Jane can hold them off. (After the tried coup, she did get in line.) Pay very close attention.

Abscam Murtha is the Dems Randy "Duke" Cunningham. You see what the party did to Duke. In the Dem party, you get promoted.

Hard to believe these jackasses whipped us!

This is stuff coming, as it does, out of Hawaii. I thought the islands had been long ceded to the Dark Forces.

[Red Badger]

In 1989, Judge Hastings was impeached by the [DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED FOR 40 YEARS] US House of Representatives for bribery and perjury........

There, that's better. IOW, he must have been REALLY REALLY bad for that to happen.........

[thegreatbeast]

...tough stuff...

[Red Badger]

You see what the party did to Duke.

Duke did it himself............
