Alcee Hastings of Florida is one that comes to mind, he was impeached for taking bribes. The fed bungled the criminal prosecution, so he later got elected to Congress.
There have been others, I would have to do some research.

Don’t get me wrong. I’d love to have a judiciary made up of Constitution-honoring judges, but it’s not going to happen through impeachment for anything, but criminal acts. Check out the history of judicial impeachments and you’ll see.
