GOP Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, who chairs the Rules Committee, said further particulars cannot be made public, in order to respect the confidentiality afforded to victims.
While the Rules Committee has been eager to provide this information in a transparent manner, it has been our priority to protect the victims involved in these settlements from further harm, the senator said in a statement attending the report.

Yeah, of course, we want to keep the names out of it to protect the victims. And since the victims all signed a confidentiality clause, it will take leaks to get the word out. According to the report, no money paid for sexual harrassment.

No need for victim names, how about the predator?

Yeah, Shelby, you’re the same RINO dolt who said Moore wasn’t fit for the Senate because of 40-year-old accusations with suspect timing, as you cover for all the pervs who used taxpayer dollars to cover up their antics in office. F you. I hope Bama votes this jackass out next election.

No need for victim names, how about the predator? Perfect question for the ultimate GOPer who was "all in" against Roy Moore in Alabama.
I hope someone in the news media asks this blockhead that exact question.

So, how many payouts were there?
Or is this just another dishonest click-bait headline?
To: dirtboy
I don’t trust anyone who talks out of the side of his mouth. That was the first thing I noticed about Shelby when he talked about Moore.
To: ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas
But they get to keep their jobs. Delightful.

That is the threat...
Under laws produced and written by the same body...
If they name the perps, the perps will not do the gentlemanly thing and resign, they will force the issue by making the accusers prove it, thereby ‘embarrassing’ the ‘victims’.
HOWEVER - whether the ‘victims’ fault or not they are spending OUR money and I would think we have a right to know where and how our money is being spent. (NO I haven’t had to much eggnog)....<: <: <:

$1.5M in payouts so far. That’s an insignificant amount to congress. They are probably proud it wasn’t worse and can’t understand what all the fuss is about.
