Mel Watt's accuser describes sexual harassment claims in stunning testimony
The Hill ^ | 9/27/18 | SYLVAN LANE

A Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) employee who has accused Director Mel Watt of sexual harassment described her allegations Thursday in gripping testimony before a House committee.

Simone Grimes, a special adviser at FHFA, told lawmakers that Watt made dozens of sexual advances toward her, withheld a promised pay raise over her refusal of his advances and was protected by senior agency officials charged with investigating her accusations.

Grimes told the House Financial Services Committee that the FHFA’s Office of Inspector General responded to her claims with “hostility, intimidation, bullying, laden with gossip and public shaming” and sought to protect Watt throughout the process.

Grimes recorded audio from encounters with Watt in which he made inappropriate remarks, and has shared those tapes with reporters. Grimes said she informed Watt that he was being recorded, but that he appeared to not believe her.

And THAT'S how you do it. Mad Maxine is the head RAT on the House Financial Services Committee.

Watt signed the anti-harassment policy he said did not apply to him. He conceded to Hensarling that nothing legally prevented him from voluntarily adhering to the policy or participating in the USPS investigation.

CNN:

It’s racist to cover this, or even mention it.

Remember when Joe Biden swam naked in front a female secret service agent?

That's called "exhibitionism" by sex therapists......a form of perversion.

The exhibitionist actually gets a sexual thrill from the activity.

The agent was right to be upset----Biden was using her......abusing her for his own sexual thrills.

President John Quincy Adams had a morning ritual of skinny-dipping in the Potomac.

One woman, looking to interview him, plopped herself down on his clothes one day, as his was finishing his ablutions.

She got the interview.

One of Obama’s Golden Boyz, imported from Charlotte, NC.

Many here were glad to be rid of Mel.

I'm pretty sure they've taken all perversions off the list, now they're listed as "alternative lifestyles" except registering as a Republican of course. ;-)

Thanks Libloather. One of Obama's success story appointments is getting aired out.
