Hillary and impeached Democrats go hand in hand
From the blog Texas Rainmaker, via Sister Toldjah, I saw this and all I could do was laugh and shake my head. I thought Mrs. Bill was smarter than this.
Sphere: Related ContentHillary Clinton has named Alcee Hastings as one of her national Campaign Co-Chairs.
The Clinton Campaign today announced that Florida Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Congressman Alcee Hastings have been named national Campaign Co-Chairs.
Yes, that Alcee Hastings.
In 1981 Judge Hastings was charged with accepting a $150,000 bribe in exchange for a lenient sentence and a return of seized assets for 21 counts of racketeering by Frank and Thomas Romano, and of perjury in his testimony about the case. He was acquitted by a jury after his alleged co-conspirator, William Borders, refused to testify in court (resulting in a jail sentence for Borders).
In 1988, the Democratic-controlled U.S. House of Representatives took up the case, and Hastings was impeached for bribery and perjury by a vote of 413-3. Voters to impeach included Democratic Representatives Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, John Conyers and Charles Rangel. He was then convicted in 1989 by the United States Senate, becoming the sixth federal judge in the history of the United States to be removed from office by the Senate.
I guess it’s only fitting that someone who’s been impeached would head up a Clinton campaign.
