Alcee

One flaw in the investigation, he would have to have ethics.

Via CNS News

On Thursday, the House Committee on Ethics issued a decision regarding a 2011 sexual harassment charge against Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.), stating in its 23-page report that there were not “substantial reasons to believe” the claim and that “clear and convincing evidence” did not surface during its lengthy investigation.

But the report also stated that the Commission did not want to leave the impression that the lawmaker’s “behavior was at all times appropriate.”

Hastings was a federal judge for the Southern District of Florida before he was impeached by the House and removed from the bench by the Senate for bribery and perjury.

He was accused of sexual harassment by a female employee of the United States Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (Helsinki Commission), on which Hastings serves.[…]

“Similarly, Representative Hastings admitted to making two comments in the presence of Complainant: one about not being able to sleep after sex, and another about female Members of Congress wearing the same underwear all day. It is true that Complainant attempted to make more of these comments than appears to be supported by the evidence, and that on their own, they do not constitute sexual harassment. Nevertheless, the Committee finds it concerning that in the year 2014 it has to remind a Member that such comments show poor judgment.”
