Who better to set the rules for Trump’s impeachment trial than a guy who has actually been impeached? That’s right, the Democrats, in all their infinite wisdom, appointed Alcee Hastings as the vice chair of the rules committee.
Hastings went through an impeachment trial in 1988 on a bevy of crimes he committed while serving as a federal judge. Playing in the Democrat sandbox, the disgraced ex-judge was elected to congress by the crazed liberals.
...
Here's something you don't see every day: Alcee Hastings, a former federal judge impeached and removed from the bench for taking bribes, participating in a House hearing that sets the rules for an impeachment. (Yes, Florida man strikes again...)
...
Hastings’s problems aren’t all in the past. There have been several recent scandals he’s been caught up in. He’s recently been investigated for having an “improper relationship” with a staffer, he made a joke about Trump drowning in the Potomac River last year, he was sued for sexual harassment in 2011 (for which taxpayers eventually footed the $220,000 settlement), and in 2010 he accidentally revealed the truth about how the democrats operate by saying on video “We make up the rules as we go along,”
According to the wikipedia page on him, dude is the poorest member of congress, being $4 Million in debt, most of which being owed to attorneys who have represented him throughout his various scandals. He was caught using $24,000 of taxpayer money to lease a Lexus for his personal use, and he uses his congressional funds to hire his own family members as staffers.
And this is the guy whom democrats proclaim to be morally superior to us peasants.

He was impeached and he’s still there..WTF?
And he makes Hank Johnson look like a Rhodes Scholar.
He should be addressed as “Your Dishonor”.
Good idea
Democrats lecturing us on morality. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be Democrats.
Let's teach them a lesson as I will run for Representative.
And Hastings has been successful for many years getting re-elected. -Tom
More proof of how Evil the Democrats are.
Congress can waive the ban on an impeached person convicted and removed from office holding future federal office by the Senate if it wants to.
It did it for Alcee Hastings. He’s been forgiven by Democrats. So what’s all the hullabaloo about Trump?
Well, he does have more experience than most at impeachment.
I know, I was screaming at the TV asking about the $90 grand they found in his freezer and he has the NERVE to talk.
I am shocked to learn that he is still alive. His scandals were going on when I was in college. Wow.
I thought I recognized that prick.
That was the last bipartisan impeachment.
Here’s the AMAZING US Senate Report on Congressman Hastings’ impeachment, impeachment vote in the House: 417-3.

That was Louisiana congressman William Jefferson.
The Democrat party once again behaving like a criminal organization.
Cue Nelson, “HA, HA “
Could it even be otherwise ?!!
