Alcee Hastings is the former federal judge who was impeached for corruption. He's on Nancy's short list to chair the house intelligence committee.

" What is the skinny on Alcee Hastings? "

Keep in mind that the Democrats campaigned on ridding DC of corruption.
Pelosi's first pick for leadership was an unindicted co conspirator caught on video telling the bribers to get back to him.
Her second pick for leadership is Alcee Hastings -for the House Intelligence Committee.
Hastings was a District Court judge in Florida who took a 150,000 dollar bribe from two mobsters in a racketeering trial.
Hastings also committed perjury and was impeached by the Democrat controlled House of Representatives and removed from the bench by the Senate.
Only six judges in the history of the country have been removed by the US Senate.
He was later elected to the House as a Democrat.
And now Nancy wants to elevate this bum to the House Intelligence Committee.
