Before he was a key member of the House Democrats, Alcee Hastings was a federal judge...who was impeached and barred from office on charges of bribery and racketeering after accepting $150,000 in exchange for a lenient sentence.
Instead of being in a federal prison, he is now Senior Democrat Whip, a member of the House Rules Committee and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and even now Chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations.
