Hastings Joins Clintons' Camp Corruption

Hillary Clinton has appointed two national co-chairs for her presidential campaign. One of them is none other than Alcee Hastings.

His name may be familiar to you. He is the Florida Democrat the Congressional Black Caucus was pressuring Nancy Pelosi to appoint as head of the House Select Committee on Intelligence.

The only problem was Hastings had been impeached and removed from the office of judge for the Southern District of Florida back in the late eighties for both corruption and perjury. Hastings played the race card and blamed his problems on institutional racism. Standard fare for the Congressional Black Caucus.

Nothing much has changed for Alcee. Go here and read how he has two paid female staff member "friends," one a disbarred attorney. Vanessa Griddine earns more than his Chief of Staff. Patricia Williams who represented Hastings in his impeachment trial, was disbarred for mishandling client funds. She is believed to be owed substantial legal fees by Hastings and makes over $129,000 a year as his staff assistant.

Of course, we all know impeachment, corruption and perjury matter little to the Clintons and in fact probably endear him to Bill and Hillary. The womanizing? Can't you hear Bill saying, "Ah feel your pain, Alcee."

Hastings said a second Clinton in the White House would make the country "a much better place for the African-American community, Floridians and all Americans." That would especially include frauds, felons and philanderers, wouldn't it Alcee?
