Swamp Panic Incoming: Rep. Nancy Mace Moves to FORCE House Vote to Release Shocking Sexual Misconduct and Harassment Reports Involving Members of Congress and their Staff

The corrupt Washington Swamp is in full-blown PANIC mode!

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has just dropped a legislative MOAB on the Capitol, moving to FORCE a vote that could expose the darkest, dirtiest secrets of the Washington elite.

Mace, a fierce survivor of sexual assault herself, dropped H.Res. 1072 on Tuesday, demanding the House Ethics Committee preserve and publicly release ALL reports, drafts, conclusions, and materials from investigations into sexual harassment or improper relationships between members and staff, with victim info redacted.

According to the press release:

“The resolution directs the Committee on Ethics to preserve all documents and investigative materials related to violations or alleged violations of sexual harassment rules under clause 9 and clause 18 of rule XXIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives. The Committee would be required to publicly release all reports, conclusions, draft reports, recommendations, and accompanying materials within 60 days of adoption. Personally identifiable information of victims or alleged victims would be redacted to protect their privacy.”

This move comes hot on the heels of the disgusting scandal engulfing Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX), who’s accused of sending sexually explicit texts to a former female aide who tragically took her own life.

Gonzales denies an affair, whining about “blackmail” and “political attacks,” but the nonpartisan Office of Congressional Workplace Rights is wrapping up its review and sending findings to Ethics any day now, just in time for his March 3 primary.

“If you sexually harass someone in Congress you do not get to hide behind closed doors. Tony Gonzales showed us what is happening in Congress. But he is not the only one,” said Congresswoman Mace.

“The American people deserve answers. Staff deserve answers. Women deserve answers. No more protection for predators in Congress. We are going to shine a light on

In general, I view Mace as a bit of an unstable whackadoo, but on this question I wholeheartedly agree with her.

Is there still a congressional slush fund to pay hush money for sexual assault cases?

And the slush fund set aside in the millions to settle the cases.

I am mixed on this, because I have no doubt some accusations were about the grift or political hits.

How does the difference get sorted out such that maybe the 1 actual good congressperson does not get taken down?

LOL who am I kidding, what are the chances of a good one, but hey, it could happen.

Dershowitz said that no one presently in Congress is involved. We'll see. This whole thing is stupid.

The underage were only a few. This was a high class call girl business.

We have prostitution in every city, state and country in the world. Take care of your own neighborhood. My bosses son got caught in a sting....lol...cuz the kid (about 25 at the time) was a jerk.

I just wonder why is the cultural climate over there so into perverted sexual life? Everyone reading porn? What is it? It can’t just be isolated incidents, there has to be somewhat of a social life thing going on that is influencing this direction of sexual activity that is not above ground.

Everyone demanded the Epstein stuff, it was a play by the Democrats to try to lie and then Embarrass Trump. The problem is that the Epstein ‘accuser’ of Trump was already totally debunked.

Epstein stuff is starting to lose media pull, and Congress is next on the list. Blowback.

Hopefully, by releasing all the relevant information and letting We The People draw our own conclusions. “Sunlight is the best disinfectant.”

IIRC doesn’t Congress actually have a slush fund for such things?

How despicable is that?......and nobody questions it.

So... she’s going to ask the miscreants to vote for the release of information that would expose their own “shocking sexual misconduct”.

Uhhh...

I’d assume that nancy’s bill would include complete disclosure & full accounting for all pay offs & transactions from the Congressional Sexual Harassment Slush Fund?

My focus would not necessarily be to prosecute a sitting member of Congress. I would like to see exposure of any powerful ppoliticians who have ever abused their power, acted immorally, and then used taxpayer funds to cover up their bad deeds.

1) Establish that Democrats favor illegal immigrants over American taxpayers. (Done)
2) Establish that Democrats are crazy (Done)
3) Establish that Democrats are only elected when election fraud is allowed (In progress)
4) Establish that Democrats are abusive sociopaths who want taxpayers to fund their abusive behavior (In the queue)
