Both BuzzFeed and The New York Times report Jackson Lee will leave as chair of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, a non-profit group closely aligned with the Congressional Black Caucus.

She will also leave her position temporarily as chair of a House Judiciary subcommittee.

And while it will lower the Democrat IQ, how soon until she resigns her seat?

She was in charge of a “foundation” which means she was in charge of accepting the payoffs and extortion fees.

This one I don’t mind if the screen door hits her on her way out.

As long as the screen door is not seriously-damaged.

If she’s leaving, the claim must be dead nuts undeniably true.

She needs to resign her office immediately. After all, it’s the seriousness of the charge, isn’t that correct, Lefties?

FOX NEWS EXCERPT: victim Doe reported the alleged assault to police in Washington, D.C., but a criminal investigation proved inconclusive and she did not immediately pursue legal action. She also met with the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF) representatives who asked for all communications between Doe and Jones and told her that Jones was being placed on leave immediately.

Jones’ LinkedIn profile indicates he left the CBCF in December 2015. He did not respond to Fox News’ requests for comment.

In the fall of 2017, Doe was hired to work for Sheila Jackson Lee. Lee had recently been appointed chair of the CBCF’s Board of Directors. On her first day at work, Doe claimed, she learned that Jones was interested in a job in Jackson Lee’s office. She said she told Jackson Lee’s chief of staff, Glenn Rushing, that she had a “prior situation” with Jones and would not be comfortable working with him.

The Doe lawsuit also stated that in Sept 2017, the CBCF had invited Damien Jones to appear on a panel about environmental issues at the group’s annual legislative conference as a representative of the Union of Concerned Scientists “even though the CBCF knew that he had sexually assaulted Ms. Doe.”

Kamala Harris Knows Nothing? Not many choices---act stupid or take the political hit for ignoring
an intern's sexual harassment claims. Harris has to hope a lot of people believe she knew very little
:

<><> Harris says she was “unaware” one of her top staffers “preyed on a female executive” in her office while she was California's AG.

<><>or that the predator was still a defendant when she named him to her Senate staff.

Unfortunately, “the Senator has a habit of know-nothingness.”

<><>As AG, she said she had no idea her lawyers “argued against releasing non-violent prisoners from overcrowded prisons.”

<><>Or that they refused a DNA test to a black death-row prisoner amid indications of evidence-tampering.

BACKSTORY--- The victim's long and highly visible paper trail includes (A) personnel reports, and, (B) a lawsuit.

<><> Miss Hartley began as predator Wallace's assistant in 2011.

<><>She reported Wallace's sexual harassment to her supervisor....but AG Kamala never knew;

<><> Hartley felt retaliated against and filed a lawsuit.....but AG Kamal never knew.

<><> Hartley was transferred to another DOJ office by the end of 2014.....but AG Kamala never knew.

<><> 2018 Kamala Harris' predatory aide resigns over harassment settlement.

As Cali AG, Kamala knew nothing. I guess Kamala was too busy putting her vagina into the service of her country. (snx)

WALLACE: "200 years of oppression and I cant even look up an intern's dress?"

I don;t have one, never wore one. But now, NOW, I am going to do this to spite narrow minded embittered people who want to control the thoughts of the citizens.
