Democratic Rep Alcee Hastings Under Investigation For Relationship With Staffer
https://thepoliticalinsider.co...onship-with-staffer/

The House Ethics Committee is investigating Democratic Florida Rep. Alcee Hastings for an alleged improper relationship with one of his congressional staffers, the committee announced Thursday.

“The Committee is aware off public allegations arising out off Representative Alcee Hastings’ personal relationship with an individual employed in his congressional office,” the committee’s co-chairs said in a press release. The committee first opened its Hastings investigation May 14, according to the release.

Hastings has long faced scrutiny over his employment of his girlfriend, Patricia Williams, in his congressional office. The House voted in February 2018 to prohibit sexual relationships between members of Congress and their staffers.

“I have cooperated with the Committee since May 14, 2019. As they continue to conduct their work, I stand ready to fully cooperate with their inquiry,” the congressman said in a statement released by his office Thursday.

He previously faced accusations of making unwanted sexual advances toward another female staffer, who received a $220,000 taxpayer-funded settlement in 2014 for her claims.

Hastings is the third House Democrat in 2019 to face an ethics investigation for an alleged improper relationship with a staffer.

Former Democratic California Rep. Katie Hill resigned in October after the committee announced an investigation into her alleged relationship with a male staffer. Hill denied that relationship, but admitted to an “inappropriate” extramarital affair with a female campaign staffer.

Michael San Nicolas, Guam’s non-voting delegate to Congress, is facing a similar investigation but hasn’t stepped down, unlike Hill.

Oh how Jallen loathed Alcee. i share much the same opinion. The man is crooked through and through and has been his entire life. Don;t believe me, Google his past escapades. One thing is clear, he will not resign from Congress no matter what comes of this ethics investigation.

That guy is the ultimate example of a crooked scumbag political hack. He should have gone to prison for his chicanery as a federal judge, was impeached and removed from the bench, and had the audacity to come back and run for congress. Incredibly he keeps getting re-elected by the idiots in his district. Back up to his old tricks, I guess he just can't help himself. Another example of why we so badly need term limits in Congress.

He used to live close to us in Florida many, many years ago. He left his first wife and kids then and moved away to another state. He is corrupt as any of them. I wonder what more will be said about Ilhan Omar. I can't stand her the most as she comes from a crap country and now wants to change this one to be more like the last.

I'd be curious to see what kinds of charges can be brought against Schiferbrains for pedophilia and sexual assault on minors as well as relations he had with a few teenagers...

Snopes says none of its true, yet I somehow have a hard time believing anything Snopes says when it comes to a democrat

shine the bright light on ALL of them - a $26 million congressional slush fund to pay hush money to their victims...

I have literally grown up having to listen to this fuck. From his impeachment and removal from the federal bench to today. He represents a district that would re-elect him even if he died 2 years ago.

What's the point in running for election if you can't screw your staff?

Not to mention, your constituents, and your country?

They need to start paying their own hush money, no reason we should foot the bill.

And the question I always ask is...what's the percentage of black voters in his district? Yeah. Its purely a color thing with that group of voters.

He's cost us a whole lot more than that during his lifetime.

Some of his voters have probably been dead at least that long.

Hmmmm... give them a little while. They're going to bone their way back to a Conservative majority in the House of Representatives!
