Remember this dirtbag? Former disgraced judge - elected Democrat?
[Rollcall] The Treasury Department paid $220,000 in a previously undisclosed agreement to settle a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment that involved Florida Democrat Alcee L. Hastings, according to documents obtained by Roll Call.
Winsome Packer, a former staff member of a congressional commission that promotes international human rights, said in documents that the congressman touched her, made unwanted sexual advances, and threatened her job. At the time, Hastings was the chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, where Packer worked.
Hastings has called Packer's charges "ludicrous" and in documents said he never sexually harassed her.
"Until this evening, I had not seen the settlement agreement between the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) and Ms. Packer," the congressman said in a statement Friday night. "This matter was handled solely by the Senate Chief Counsel for Employment. At no time was I consulted, nor did I know until after the fact that such a settlement was made."
Hastings said that the lawsuit that Packer filed against him and an investigation by the House Ethics Committee were ultimately dismissed.
"I am outraged that any taxpayer dollars were needlessly paid to Ms. Packer," he said.
The 2014 payment to settle the case involving Hastings was not apparently included in a breakdown of payouts to settle discrimination complaints against House lawmakers from the past five years released last month by the Office of Compliance, which approves the payouts. That total included only one payment to resolve a sexual harassment claim ‐ $84,000 paid to settle a complaint against Texas GOP Rep. Blake Farenthold.
The Senate hasn't released similar numbers.

Because of all the hanky-panky in D.C., Congresscritters don't get much work done. Damn, it would be a good place to work if work didn't interfere with all the sexual shenanigans (sarc on).
[Gateway Pundit] Media was set ablaze Thursday after FBI Director Christopher Wray testified at a House Judiciary Committee oversight hearing. He defended the FBI against Trump’s scorched earth tweets attacking the institution’s corrupt leadership and refused to answer many key questions. No, the Bourne character Alexander Conklin just looks a little like Peter Strzok. Character and professional traits are however, mirror images.
Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) asked the FBI Director if the Hillary-funded garbage dossier was used to spy on Trump’s camp and Wray refused to answer.
All eyes are on Trump-hating and Hillary-loving FBI agent Peter Strzok. The disgraced agent was removed from Mueller’s witch hunt after it was discovered he was sending anti-Trump text messages to his mistress FBI lawyer Lisa Page. Mueller covered-up this scandal, which is a scandal in itself. Caveat: Single source reporting. I've seen it nowhere else yet.

I recall back in November, Wray said ‘Place is actually worse than I thought’ . Having recognized that Dir. Wray, how about doing something about it. Prosecutions, firings and reassignments to Bofunkjunction, Nowhere are in order.

I was going to settle for firing the top two floors but now I’m shooting for the top four floors of that building.
Then move that office out of DC permanently

Re #5, JohnQC, I like how you think. It is extraordinarily hard to fire a career civil servant. However, you can always transfer them to somewhere they REALLY don't want to go.

[The Hill] The NAACP said Friday night that it would hold a separate event in Mississippi after President Trump announced he would attend a civil rights museum opening there this weekend.
NAACP head Derrick Johnson, Jackson Mayor Chokwe Lumumba (D) and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) are set to hold a press conference in Jackson, Miss., on Saturday morning.
The civil rights advocates said their event was meant "to pay homage and recognition to those individuals who have dedicated their lives to the civil and human rights of Mississippians minus the presence of President Donald Trump."
Johnson and Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) announced this week that they would not attend the opening event for the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum after Trump said he would go.
"It’s going to be very difficult for me to be there and be on the same platform with him," Lewis told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
"I think his presence would make a mockery of everything that people tried to do to redeem the soul of America and to make this country better," he added.
White House spokesman Raj Shah told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to a campaign rally in Florida on Friday night that Trump's remarks at the museum will emphasize unity.

The personal decision to celebrate diversity, is adverse to the divine ideal of "unity." There in my opinion, lies the problem.

naacp democrat plantation union. Brain dead drones doing the only thing their masters require. The results can be seen everywhere these days. They feed on their own. The truth does not set them free. They choose a path of failure with bothers in arms. Each day they seem to have more in common with isis than Americans.

I grew up with the civil rights movement. My parents were of the firm belief that equal rights and responsibilities were the answer to any question.
The NAACP made sense in the '50s & '60s, since the '70s they have become less and less needed and more and more hurtful.
I guess that they think blacks have their best chances back on the plantation run by whites of the Democrat persuasion.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
