She Said That A Powerful Congressman Harassed Her. Here’s Why You Didn’t Hear Her Story.

“When you make private settlements, it doesn’t warn the next woman or the next person going into that situation.”

Documents from the complaint obtained by BuzzFeed News include four signed affidavits, three of which are notarized, from former staff members who allege that Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the powerful House Judiciary Committee, repeatedly made sexual advances to female staff that included requests for sexual favors, contacting and transporting other women with whom they believed Conyers was having affairs, caressing their hands sexually, and rubbing their legs and backs in public. Four people involved with the case verified the documents are authentic.

And the documents also reveal the secret mechanism by which Congress has kept an unknown number of sexual harassment allegations secret: A grinding, closely held process that left the alleged victim feeling, she told BuzzFeed News, that she had no option other than to stay quiet and accept a settlement offered to her.

“I was basically blackballed. There was nowhere I could go,” she said in a phone interview. BuzzFeed News is withholding the woman’s name at her request, because she said she fears retribution.

Conyers?! No way! No way!

I kid...

[scooby321]

Paul Ryan had to know per Mike Cernovich

We he survive?

[Bodleian_Girl]

Hopefully Ryan is implicated.

[apocalypto]

Somebody posted that Paul Ryan covered up for him. Fake news?

[Professional]

We can all see that many in gop are comprised. McCain....

[morphing libertarian]

How could Ryan have NOT known as speaker?

[txhurl]

Maybe Ryan rigged it so the settlements came out of Conyers’ office instead of the House slush fund because the cases against him were so numerous.

How much longer will we have to wait before we know the lurid details of Congress critters’ gropings, the payoffs, hush money, and who all were involved?

[mimaw]

The article I read said Bonner was speaker. And that settlement was pd from Conyers office account.

[RummyChick]

There has got to be claims against Pervy creepy biden

[petitfour]

Remember who previous GOP Speaker was—Denny Hastert.

[morphing libertarian]

thanx but hard to believe he didnt read or get briefed

[Political Junkie Too]

And remember that Hastert defended William Jefferson when the FBI raided Jefferson's office and found $90,000 cash in his office freezer.

Conyers needs to resign.

“Somebody posted that Paul Ryan covered up for him. Fake news?”

I do not know if he did or not but I do want to know what Paul Ryan knew about this. He sure was quick to go after Roy Moore with unfounded allegations.

[Impy]

We didn’t hear her story cause she chose to get paid rather than go public.

[Dr. Pritchett]

This is what the RATS want!! What’s the big deal?!?!?
