House Settled Lawsuit After Meeks Fired Staffer Who Reported Sexual Assault Related To Donor
Daily Caller ^ | dec.4, 2017 | luke rosiak

The Office of House Employment Counsel brokered a settlement in 2006 over allegations that Rep. Gregory Meeks fired a staffer in retaliation for reporting that she was sexually assaulted at a business tied to a campaign contributor, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.

Andrea Payne, then a congressional aide in the New York Democrat’s Queens office, filed a complaint with the Office of Compliance, and Meeks fired her weeks later. He admitted that Payne’s termination did not have to do with the quality of her work, according to her lawsuit.

Meeks is a piece of excrement coated with diseased mucus. A real honest to goodness SLIMEBALL. He’s had numerous accusations and used a slush fund comprised of taxpayer money to settle his disputes. Oh, and he’s a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. Figures. He’s in sterling company there, right? They are currently trying to help the creep Doug Jones to defeat Roy Moore.

Another scumbag politician. Interesting that the article doesn’t state what the settlement cost the taxpayer. Further, that once it was turned over the government they immediately settled, which suggests clear guilt. Now, can New Yorkers come up with a new representative?

He obviously fails the most basic IQ test for a Congressman...you can’t make law when you are ignorant of and disobey them yourself.

Rep. Luke Messer, IN, has authored legislation to address this unconscionable congressional slush fund.

Black icon Conyer’s buddies in the Congressional Black Caucus are pushing him to get out. They’re running scared.....the C/B/C does not want to be under a microscope.

Conyers is a founder......L/E needs to audit bank accounts of the Congressional Black Caucus (C/B/C).....and the office accounts of its members, for instance, Conyers.....and Clyburn.

NOTE WELL The “Bank Secrecy Act” was passed to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting criminal enterprises, government fraud, money laundering, tax evasion or other unlawful activities.

Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity that might be indicative of govt fraud, money laundering, embezzlement, and other financial crimes.

<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer of of govt funds. Govt monies may pay for personal and private expenses, credit cards, real estate subsidies and vehicle purchases, and costs to engage in sexual activity.

<><> To cover their tracks, fake invoices might be created to show that money deposited into accounts was being used for legitimate govt purposes.

The scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from federal and state sources that actually covered the transfer of funds for govt employees own use.

<><> L/E is directed to get ahold of: (1) copies of C/B/C checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including e-mail, contracts, loan agreements, and, (8) any other books or records. L/E should also explore (a) monies paid to brokers, sub-brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.

<><> L/E should scrutinize bank accounts for suspicious activities: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals, (d) purchases of airline tickets for female companions.

<><> Bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC other accounts, to operate personal businesses. Govt fraud can also be facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intra-bank transfers from govt accounts into personal accounts.

<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support luxurious lifestyle including payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel and gifts from luxury outlets for wives and mistresses.

Taxpayers demand the Bank Secrecy Act be used to prosecute govt fraud pronto.

ALL these bits & pieces are proving that the taxpayers deserve to know every single payment—who had to pay it & who got paid & the amount & the dates.

Question: IF you get a payment for such treatment, it that INCOME to be taxed???

No matter what-—every penny needs to be accounted for & paid back to the taxpayers WITH INTEREST.
