Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) is the second-ranking Democrat on the House Rules Committee, which is setting the rules for the "impeachment inquiry" into President Donald Trump. Hastings himself was impeached and removed from office in 1989 — one of only eight federal officials, all of whom have been judges, so be so relieved of their duties.

Striking that in House Rules Committee meeting on impeachment inquiry resolution, No. 2 Democrat, Rep. Alcee Hastings, has actually been impeached. (Was federal judge, impeached, convicted, and removed for bribery in 1989.)
Hastings was removed for bribery, one of the causes enumerated in the Constitution's Impeachment Clause (Article II, Section 4): "The President, Vice President and all Civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

John Brennan is behind the coup.
Ex-CIA boss Brennan appears to partly back Hillary Clinton's theory Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset
John Brennan on Hillary Clinton's 'Russian asset' claim against Tulsi Gabbard
Brennan discusses the security issues surrounding the 2020 election, possible Russian interference, with John McLaughlin, Michael Morell and Andrew McCabe at The National Press Club
When it comes to Hillary Clinton's controversial suggestions about 2020 Democratic hopeful Tulsi Gabbard, it seems that maybe, John Brennan is with her.
Speaking at the "2020 Vision: Intelligence and the U.S. Presidential Election" event at the National Press Club, the former CIA director was asked about Clinton recently raising the suggestion that Gabbard, a Democratic candidate for president, is a Russian asset.
"Clinton got a lot of attention for saying that Tulsi was a Russian asset. Her staff doubled down. Do you see what she was talking about," CBS News anchor Margaret Brennan asked the stage -- which included Brennan, John McLaughlin, Michael Morell and Andrew McCabe.
"Something is a Russia asset even if it is not intentionally advancing their interest," the ex-CIA boss said.
TULSI GABBARD TO HILLARY CLINTON: 'STEP DOWN FROM YOUR THRONE'
"The Russians are very sophisticated. They looked at a lot of different countries and how they can influence events. It can be a third-party candidate and pushing candidates they favor.
"They also push money into campaigns they oppose because they want tainted money and to expose it to undermine the electoral process. They will opt for a lot of different things."
Brennan continued: "They look for opportunities to promote a certain theme and media. … They will befriend people who will go along with their encouragement."
He wrapped the remark by saying the Kremlin seeks out "politicians who will be malleable," adding that there is "no easy solution".
The comments came after Clinton's comments set off a firestorm in her own party, with Gabbard, a representative from Hawaii, hitting back at the former secretary of state's intimation.
"Hillary, your foreign policy was a disaster for our country and the world -- resulting in the deaths and injuries of so many of my brothers and sisters in uniform, devastating entire countries, millions of lives lost, refugee crises," and more, Gabbard said in a recent video.
GABBARD, IN DEFIANT VIDEO, LINKS CLINTON 'SMEARS' TO HER PREVIOUS SANDERS ENDORSEMENT
"Yet despite the damage you have done to our country and the world, you want to continue your failed policies directly or indirectly through the Democratic nominee."
She added: "It's time for you to acknowledge the damage you have caused and apologize for it. It is long past time for you to step down from your throne so the Democratic Party can lead with a new foreign policy which will actually be in the interests of and benefit the American people and the world."
Entrepreneur Andrew Yang, who is also seeking the Democratic nomination for president, has defended Gabbard, saying she "deserves much more respect and thanks than this."
"She literally just got back from serving our country abroad," Yang tweeted. Gabbard, apart from being a politician, is a Hawaii Army National Guard major who served in Iraq.
"Tulsi is not being groomed by anyone. She is her own person," said yet another party contender for the White House, onetime Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke.
Marianne Williamson, the self-help author who's also in the primary race against Gabbard, among others, told the Hawaii lawmaker to "stay strong" and said she's the victim of attempted "character assassination."
"The Democratic establishment has got to stop smearing women it finds inconvenient!" she tweeted. "The character assassination of women who don't toe the party line will backfire. Stay strong @TulsiGabbard. You deserve respect and you have mine."

Haley Recalls Serving With Some Who Tried to Undermine Trump; 'What's At Stake is the Constitution
By Patrick Goodenough | October 30, 2019 | 6:06pm EDT

(CNSNews.com) – Officials serving in the administration are not free to push their "personal agenda" if they do not like President Trump, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said this week, arguing that "we have one president at a time, and that president attained his office by the choice of the American people."
Speaking at an American Enterprise Institute event in Washington, where she received the conservative think tank's Irving Kristol Award, Haley recalled serving in the Trump administration "alongside colleagues who believed that the best thing to do for America was to undermine and obstruct the president."
"Some wrote about it anonymously in The New York Times," she said, evidently referring to the provocative September 2018 op-edentitled "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration."
"Others just did it," Haley added.
"They sincerely believed they were doing the right thing. I sincerely believed they weren't," she said.
"The president was the choice of the people, in accordance with our founding charter. No policy disagreement with him, no matter how heartfelt, justifies undermining the lawful authority that is vested in his office by the Constitution."
"For those who don't like the president, they are free to protest him – and many do," Haley continued. "But if you serve in the administration, you are not free to push your personal agenda. What's at stake is not President Trump's policies. What's at stake is the Constitution."
Haley described Trump as "a disruptor" – something which she said "makes some people very happy, and it makes some people very mad."
"But if we are a country that lives by the rule of law, we must all accept that we have one president at a time, and that president attained his office by the choice of the American people."
Haley's remarks come at a key moment in the House Democrats' presidential impeachment inquiry.
The inquiry has heard testimony from numerous present or former administration officials, many of them with or previously with the State Department.
Some defenders of the president have charged that among those deposed are some with partisan agendas.
Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney on October 17 described those testifying as "a group of mostly career bureaucrats who are saying, 'You know what? I don't like President Trump's politics, so I'm going to participate in this witch hunt that they're undertaking on the Hill.'"
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, asked later about those remarks, said he disagreed with that assessment.
"I have a different view," he said. "My view is that each of us has a solemn responsibility to defend the Constitution and to speak the truth. I said this the other day. I hope those officers who go to Capitol Hill will speak truthfully, that they'll speak completely."
(Pompeo also criticized as "unfair in the nth degree" the process being pursued by the House Democratic leadership, and said House Intelligence Committee chairman "Adam Schiff ought to be embarrassed by the kangaroo court that he's running.")
Haley, a Republican, served as governor of South Carolina from 2011 to 2017, and as an outspoken ambassador to the U.N. from 2017 until the end of last year.
In February she founded Stand for America, an advocacy group "dedicated to supporting public policies that strengthen America's economy, culture, and national security." Supporters and detractors on social media periodically raise the prospect of a presidential or vice presidential run in 2024.
AEI's annual Irving Kristol Award is given to recipients who, it says, "have made exceptional practical and intellectual contributions to improve government policy, social welfare, or political understanding." Established in 2002, it is named for AEI senior fellow Irving Kristol, who died in 2009.
Previous recipients include President Ronald Reagan, Vice President Dick Cheney, the late Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia, and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.

San Francisco Police Seek Suspect Who Assaulted Woman With Child Near Union Square
Filed Under:Assault, San Francisco, San Francisco police, Suspect, Union Square
SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) — Police in San Francisco are looking for an assailant who struck a mother in the head from behind while she was walking her child on O'Farrell Street on October 17th.
Police released surveillance video which shows a woman holding hands and walking with her child. They are passed by a man going the opposite direction.
But then the man doubles back and comes up behind the woman and appears to punch her in the head.The woman and child then turn and quickly walk away. The woman and child were apparently not seriously injured.
Police on Monday also released an image of the suspect, who appeared to be an older African American male.

One tourist KPIX 5 spoke with expressed concerns when asked about the attack.
"I mean, she had a child and still wasn't safe," said Dondi Jones, who was visiting San Francisco from Santa Rosa. "So it does make me nervous. I don't feel completely comfortable."
It happened just steps from the touristy Powell Street Cable Car line. But merchants say this area just two blocks from Union Square is has seen an increase in assaults and shoplifting.
"They get some t-shirts or sweatshirts and they run away. We don't have time to catch them," said Vicente Alfaro, who works in an area camera shop.
What concerned him most about the latest incident is that it involved a child.
"If this homeless [man] hit the child on the head forget it. It can kill them. If they have something in their hands, it's very dangerous," Alfaro said.
Police said the suspect could be homeless, but authorities aren't sure.
David Thomas, who works the area as a security guard, told KPIX 5 it appears that the suspect was having some mental problems, which may have caused him to lash out at the woman.
"Of course I would try to help the lady. But there's a lot of people like that, who walk around like ghosts, not a care to the world," said Thomas.
Jones said it's sad to see.
"But the bigger issue is the homeless situation and the mental illness that comes with the homeless. We need to come up with a proper solution for that," Jones said.
Police are asking for the public's help in locating the suspect so he can be questioned and taken off the streets for evaluation. Anyone who sees the suspect can call 911 to report him. The SFPD tip line if anyone can identify him is (415)575-4444.

The Head Of Joe Biden's New Super PAC Is A Foreign Government Agent
Biden's new PAC is being run by a registered foreign agent for Azerbaijan.
OCTOBER 29, 2019 By Sean Davis
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has a brand new Super PAC in his corner, and it's being run by a registered foreign agent for the government of Azerbaijan. Larry Rasky, a lobbyist who previously worked as a top campaign operative for Biden, is listed as the treasurer of the PAC, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
"A former Joe Biden aide has filed paperwork to form a super PAC, called Unite the Country, that is set to boost the former vice president with millions of dollars in spending in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary," Politico reported on Tuesday.
Records filed with the Department of Justice show that Rasky is also a registered foreign agent lobbying on behalf of the government of Azerbaijan. The records, which were filed pursuant to the Foreign Agent Registration Act, show that Rasky was hired by the Azerbaijani government on April 23, 2019. Federal documents signed by Rasky show that he reports directly to Elin Suleymanov, Azerbaijan's ambassador to the United States.
"[The government of Azerbaijan] will pay RASKY a minimum monthly non-refundable fee (the 'Monthly Fee') for the Services provided of $15,000 per month, plus a 5% administrative fee as described below," Rasky's contract with the foreign government states. "The Monthly Fees totaling $94,500 shall be paid in two equal installments. The initial payment of $47,250 is due upon the signing of this agreement. The second payment of $47,250 is due on July 15, 2019."
Rasky changed the name of the PAC from "For The People" to "Unite the Country" on Monday, according to FEC filings. The filings do not state which country Rasky intends to unite on Biden's behalf.
Politico reported in August that Rasky also explored going into business with Hunter Biden and James Biden, the former vice president's younger brother. At one point, Rasky planned to provide a million dollars towards the Bidens' purchase of Paradigm Global Advisors, a hedge fund.
"James and Hunter brought in Larry Rasky, a lobbyist and longtime Biden adviser, who at one point, according to court records, was going to provide $1 million in financing," Politico reported. "Rasky did not respond to a request for comment."
Biden's campaign has been dogged by allegations that he corruptly used his influence as vice president to steer lucrative foreign business contracts to his son Hunter. At a 2018 event organized by the Council on Foreign Relations, Joe Biden — who was tasked by then-President Barack Obama to lead the U.S. government's efforts in Ukraine — bragged about threatening to withhold a billion-dollar loan guarantee if the Ukrainian government refused to fire a prosecutor who was reportedly investigating a gas company that paid Hunter Biden millions of dollars to sit on its board.
"I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting the billion dollars," Biden said. "I said, you're not getting the billion. I'm going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours."
"I looked at them and said, 'I'm leaving in six hours,'" Biden recalled. "If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money. Well, son of a b-tch. He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time."
After Shokin was fired, he was replaced by Yuri Lutsenko, who also has been dogged by allegations of corruption. The Obama administration never demanded Lutsenko's ouster, despite worries that Lutsenko was similarly corrupt and untrustworthy.
In recent congressional testimony, George Kent, a State Department official who works on the agency's Ukraine portfolio, contradicted claims that the Obama administration was merely following the lead of the so-called international community in demanding the firing of Shokin. As The Federalist previously reported, Kent told lawmakers the Obama administration spearheaded the efforts to have Shokin removed from his position as the top federal prosecutor in Ukraine. Kent said the international community — namely the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Western nations within the European Union — were deferential to U.S. directives on the matter.
The news that Biden's Super PAC is run by the agent of a foreign government will likely complicate the former vice president's efforts blunt the narrative that his government duties are for sale.
Azerbaijan is not the only foreign entity that Rasky has recently represented. He and his firm also lobbied on behalf of a Bangladeshi political party through January of 2019.
"Rasky Partners will engage in message development, outreach to influencers, media monitoring, media relations, strategic counsel and research," the filing declared. Rasky's firm received more than $86,000 from that contract, federal records show.
A previous firm run by Rasky also represented foreign officials in Japan, Hungary, Congo, and Serbia.

Schiff Directing Witnesses Not To Answer GOP Questions
OCTOBER 29, 2019 By Tristan Justice
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who is overseeing the ongoing illegitimate impeachment inquiry set in motion by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is reportedly telling witnesses testifying not to answer questions asked by Republican lawmakers.
Speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., slammed the hidden process claiming Schiff was instructing witnesses testifying behind the closed doors of the SCIF not to answer questions asked by Republican members.
"He's directing witnesses not to answer questions that he doesn't want the witness to answer if they're asked by Republicans," Scalise charged. "He's not cut off one Democrat. He's not interrupted one Democrat and told a witness not to answer Democrat members' questions but today he started telling witnesses not to answer questions by certain Republicans."

House Minority Whip @SteveScalise rips into Democratic "soviet style" impeachment process:
He says that @RepAdamSchiff "started telling witnesses not to answer questions by certain Republicans."
12:35 PM - Oct 29, 2019
One question that Schiff barred a witness from answering reportedly came from Ohio Republican Congressman Jim Jordan, who asked Vindman to disclose the individuals with whom he shared information about the July 25 phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky.
"Adam Schiff says, 'no-no-no we're not going to let him answer that question,'" Jordan said as reported by Fox News.
The latest charges against Schiff come as the ongoing impeachment process has been wrought with allegations of bias where Schiff has been conducting a closed-door investigation interviewing witnesses whose testimony has been selectively leaked to the press to frame the president.
The secrecy of the House proceedings followed by an array of leaked testimony to promote a false narrative being peddled by the corporate media prompted about 30 House Republicans led by Rep. Matt Gaetz, D-Fla., to storm the SCIF to demand previously denied records relating to the investigation.
Schiff is blocking GOP lawmakers from asking critical questions in the proceedings two days before Pelosi has set a tentative full-chamber vote to formalize the impeachment inquiry.
The text of the resolution was released Tuesday afternoon and denies Republicans subpoena powers. In both the Nixon and Clinton proceedings, the minority party was given this right.
