Yes, but U. S. Rep. Alcee Hastings has been Broward County’s de facto black political leader for decades. Hastings is the only Federal District Judge ever impeached and convicted, I think.

The bribe that led to this was 150k.

Yep. Removed him from office too. Unfortunately, he returned four years later, since the Senate did not vote to disqualify him from holding future office.

Impeached and removed as a federal judge for fraud. That makes him a hero in the ghetto. They reelect him every time.
