Who?
and Epstrin didn’t kill himself
It was laughable when Alcee Hastings spoke so eloquently about this process....Fall down laughable - idiotic. It was a hearing of some kind yesterday when I forget who - perhaps my own Congressman Rob Woodall (GA) - who when passing the questioning on to Hastings said something along the lines of “not knowing anyone more knowledgeable about the subject (impeachment)”. Hastings never flinched! Not exactly his words but it was close and while I think Woodall is pretty much of a milquetoast, I was proud of him at that moment. You wouldn’t know by observing Hastings that he’d ever served in any government position with anything but distinction! AND the fools in FL elected him to Congress!
“”In 1988, the Democratic-controlled United States 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 on October 20, 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 Senate, in two hours of roll calls, voted on 11 of the 17 articles of impeachment. It convicted Hastings of eight of the 11 articles. The vote on the first article was 69 for and 26 opposed.[1]””
