Hastings, Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, has to be the world's finest oxymoron.

That nitwit and others can't read, or Congresscritters are not to be trusted nor honored, and I should not be paying income taxes since a government salary is not profit.
Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States: but the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment, according to law.

It is amazing how little importance is given to this fact, Hastings writes. It is also baffling. Well ... he's got some brass ones
OFF TOPIC .. the President is giving a great speak about the WOT .. but only FNC is airing it

Geeze - the smallest wiff of Republican scandal sets the MSM into a frenzy and the pubs fleeing, but the rats can get away with the worst corruption.

Even the NY Times disagrees with Hastings' claim of victimhood as evidenced by this October 1989 Editorial (couldn't get more of it without paying,but its intent is clear):
"Impeachments by the House and trials in the Senate are so cumbersome and distasteful that Alcee Hastings of Florida is only the sixth Federal judge to be removed in this manner. But in convicting and removing Judge Hastings, despite his acquittal of similar charges at a criminal trial, Congress acted responsibly, even judiciously....."

LOL Looks like Pelosi will be the pivot man on this one! Hastings says he should be chairman because impeachments are political theatre, not real trials. Meanwhile all his compatriots are itching to start their investigations and impeachments. The very thing he says to justify his elevation to chairmanship makes a mockery of what's about to follow.

This guy is a crook and it is simply unbelievable that dumb-ass voters in Florida elected him to anything. What must that Congressional district look like?
