The Treasury Department paid $220,000 in a previously undisclosed agreement to settle a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment that involved Florida Democrat Alcee L. Hastings, according to documents obtained by Roll Call.
Winsome Packer, a former staff member of a congressional commission that promotes international human rights, said in documents that the congressman touched her, made unwanted sexual advances, and threatened her job. At the time, Hastings was the chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, where Packer worked.
Hastings has called Packers charges ludicrous and in documents said he never sexually harassed her.
Until this evening, I had not seen the settlement agreement between the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) and Ms. Packer, the congressman said in a statement Friday night. This matter was handled solely by the Senate Chief Counsel for Employment. At no time was I consulted, nor did I know until after the fact that such a settlement was made.
Hastings said that the lawsuit that Packer filed against him and an investigation by the House Ethics Committee were ultimately dismissed.
I am outraged that any taxpayer dollars were needlessly paid to Ms. Packer, he said.

Or they can have a special election. House to be voted for to win. Senators can be appointed until the election occurs.
I actually READ Free Republic.

Hi Rush hope you are well, and you , and the family are doing good. As for the end justify the means, , well yep typical of DC, today
I also read FR - when I can. And I do see duplicate posts occasionally.
But wow - to find as many dupes as you? You’re amazing!
again thank you for that information,. I was under the impression that the Gov names a successor , but I was wrong. Thank you.
Another joke name, like Sillius Soddus or Biggus Diccus.
>
will the Dems force him to step down since we have a republican Gov, nah course not.

Don’t be too sure. Should Moore get elected, anyone that doesn’t resign will make the rest look like hypocrites when they start their B.S. in attempting to NOT recognize his seat.
IMO, that’s the only reason The Groper has put his ‘end date’ to Jan 31st...time to rescind should the rest of Congress not come through on their end of the deal.
Hastings campaigns on the concept of “I put one over on The Man for years, made tons of money doing it, and never went to jail one day. Send me back to Congress and I’ll get you some of the White Man’s money too.”
He and Corrine Brown (recently convicted and sentenced former Florida congresswoman) were “very good friends.”
Hot damn we got another one!
Merry Christmas to you and yours. My Marine oldest son will be home too so it will be a blessing.
'The Democrats have vetted GOP candidates when they were climbing the ranks (State Rep, or Jack Ryan, etc.) and thusly done our weeding for us ... OTOH, with the same hand they have covered up for their own to the very top (Bubba, et al). With the paradigm shift, they literally have no way out but to embrace their $17M worth of sexcapade slush fund karma (which he estimated at a ratio of 5 Dems: 1 GOP).'
To wit: we ain't losing either the House or the Senate next year.
And he has been fooling people in a district in Florida for YEARS. What a grifter.
What’s so funny about Biggus Diccus?
I have a vewy gweat fwiend in Wome named Biggus Diccus.
Florida media ignored the head of the Democrat party in Florida being booted.
Florida media ignored Corrine Brown being sentenced for fraud.
Florida media ignored a Republican hispanic from the state being denied admission to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
Now Florida media will ignore this grifter.
Instead, Florida media will focus incessantly on unproven allegations against Roy Moore and Donald Trump.
“Winsome Packer??”
“Sister” of Fudge Packer?
What is his wife's name?
