He should be investigated for wearing that tie with that awful coat. And his watch is so loose it’s backwards.
It always looks like House Reps always shop at Thrift Stores in the poor section of town. That outfit he is wearing was a joke back in the 90’s when it was new.
That is one sweet ride. I had a 1965 Pontiac Catalina 2 door coupe with a V-8. It was black. My first batmobile.
I ran that thing up to 150 mph on I-40 east between Ozark and Russelville, Arkansas.
I was 15-18 years old and it was better than a motel! lol
Even put a decal of a yellow oval Batman in the back window. Hooked up a sweet 8-track tape player and wired into the car with my 6X9 Jensen speakers I built into boxes and had 20 feet of wire so I could use the car as a stereo at parties.
Besides Jimmy Carter and inflation I loved the late 1970’s.
I really hope there’s lots of undeniable evidence. But I don’t want to see any pictures.
It took me a while to figure out how we went from polyester suits to fast cars. Thanks. I havent had time to drive the Safari yet this summer. I just spent the weekend getting the AC working on my 72 Vista Cruiser. It has a 455 4 barrel and dual exhaust. All original. The wife and I are going to the 2011 International Station Wagon Club Convention in Pittsburgh at the end of the week. It’s about 6 hours by Mapguess estimates, but I have a lead foot so I am sure I can get it under 5.
You can see the Vista here. Besides it is my 1972 Buick Estate Wagon with the GM rooftop carrier. The picture is from a previous wagon show in NJ a few years back.

"I'm gonna Winsome Packer"
Hastings is a POS.....hopefully they can make this one stick
This impeached former federal judge is my congress thief in a gerrymandered district
What a baboso.
If you are black you are one of his people. Anything else and he and his staff ignore you.
Somebody please ask Debbie WasherLexus Schultz if this is also considered a personal matter.
Some things just never change no matter if you're at the bottom of the food chain or the top....human nature does not change. In his case vile is vile and goes with his history.
In 1981, 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. 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. The vote on the first article was 69 for and 26 opposed, providing two votes more than the two-thirds of those present that were needed to convict. The first article accused the judge of conspiracy. Conviction on any single article was enough to remove the judge from office. The Senate vote cut across party lines, with Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat of Vermont, voting to convict his fellow party member, and Senator Arlen Specter, Republican of Pennsylvania, voting to acquit.[1]
The Senate had the option to forbid Hastings from ever seeking federal office again, but did not do so. Alleged co-conspirator, attorney William Borders went to jail again for refusing to testify in the impeachment proceedings, but was later given a full pardon by President Bill Clinton on his last day in office.[2]
Hastings filed suit in federal court claiming that his impeachment trial was invalid because he was tried by a Senate committee, not in front of the full Senate, and that he had been acquitted in a criminal trial. Judge Stanley Sporkin ruled in favor of Hastings, remanding the case back to the Senate, but stayed his ruling pending the outcome of an appeal to the Supreme Court in a similar case regarding Judge Walter Nixon, who had also been impeached and removed.[3]
