Impeached judge Alcee Hastings is a national co-chair for wife of impeached president


Alcee Hastings, the impeached federal judge, stood by Hillary's side as she gave her victory speech Tuesday night in Florida. During the speech she thanked her “great friend Alcee Hastings.” But Hastings isn't just a hanger-on standing on the stage; Hastings is one of Clinton's national campaign co-chairs.

Hastings was impeached by the House and removed from office for accepting a $150,000 bribe and perjury. The House vote to remove Hastings was 413-3. Three years after his impeachment, Hastings ran for Congress in Florida and won. More here. The press release announcing Hastings as a national co-chair for Clinton's campaign is here.

Did somebody say "Change"?
