For those of you who don't know,Alcee Hastings used to be a federal judge in Florida,and was caught selling sentences in a bribery sting. As a result he was removed from the bench,but NOT charged with a crime or barred from holding public office despite it having been proven that he took a 150 G bribe to throw a trial for some mob guys.
So naturally,he ran for Congress as a Dim in a "black spot on yore map" district in Florida,and surprising no one,won.
He now chairs a congressional committee that monitors classified operations and is a member of the House Special Operations Forces Caucus .
Good thing he is trustworthy and there is no danger of him taking bribes to expose secrets,huh?
