Impeached Judge Hastings Resigns from House Intelligence Committee

This morning it was reported that Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL), an impeached federal judge (and convicted by the Senate), resigned from the House Intelligence Committee.

One has to wonder why someone who was impeached, convicted and stripped of his position as a result of federal bribery charges was ever put on the sensitive committee in the first place, considering that those on the committee are given access to our country’s most secret intelligence information.
