$18.2 Million Congressional Slush Fund for #MeToo Claims…what’s the difference between THIS and DJT?

Posted on 04/04/2023 5:26:36 PM PDT by Toespi

What’s the difference? The American taxpayers paid for this secret slush fund to settle, silence. and payoff allegations of wrong doing, created in 1997, ending in 2017.

It is time to demand names, allegations, how much was paid and why. Was this abuse of power to cover up and silence wrongdoing of congressional members running for office? There is no difference between this and allegations against DJT.

No difference between this and the millions upon millions that NBC, Fox, and the rest have paid-out, not to mention every public and many private companies and universities.

We were PROMISED that the list of all the pols’ names would be released. That was maybe six years ago. Still nothing.

Another FReeper (don’t recall who) noted that PINO Joe paid a prostitute while he was married. Her name was Jill, and the payments were for “babysitting”.

I would say there is a BIG difference!

It is called misappropriation of funds.

Taxes are paid to promote the general welfare not pay off people wronged by congress persons.

Trump paid for his own peccadillos.

Rememvber Jonathan Edwards paying mistress/campaign aide/alleged crack user Rielle Hunter as a videographer for his campaign...?

There is a world of difference. The media is disingenuously portraying Trump's alleged wrongdoing as payment of "hush money," but that's not correct at all. The contract of payment in exchange for a non-disclosure agreement is legal and not unusual.

The difference is that the Congress Critters are using taxpayer money to pay off their paramours.

Sorry. I didn’t see that or I would have not posted. I guess it’s one of those issues that bares repeating.
