Rep. Katie Hill (D-Calif.) to resign from Congress amid ethics investigation
The Washington Post ^ | October 27, 2019 | Michelle Yo Hee Lee

Posted on 10/27/2019 9:10:47 PM PDT by KingofZion

Rep. Katie Hill (D-Calif.) on Sunday announced her resignation from Congress amid an ethics inquiry into allegations that she had an intimate relationship with a congressional staff member in her office.

“It is with a broken heart that today I announce my resignation from Congress,” Hill wrote in a statement. “This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but I believe it is the best thing for my constituents, my community, and our country.”

Hill’s spokeswoman said that the resignation is not immediate and that Hill is still deciding on when she will leave office. Her announcement was first reported by Politico, which said that she planned to resign by the end of the week.

Last week, the House Ethics Committee opened an investigation into allegations that Hill was romantically involved with her legislative director, Graham Kelly, a relationship that would violate House ethics rules.

Hill was seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party, a 32-year-old lawmaker who flipped a Republican-held seat in a district northeast of Los Angeles.

Her departure came swiftly after allegations surfaced about a week ago in an article on the conservative website RedState.org. The article alleged that Hill and her husband were in a consensual three-person relationship with a woman on her campaign team. The article included text messages it said were between Hill and the woman as well as intimate photos of them together. Hill is openly bisexual.

The article also alleged that Hill was involved romantically with Kelly.

Under House ethics rules adopted last year in response to high-profile sexual harassment claims involving members of Congress, it is against the official code of conduct for members to “engage in a sexual relationship with any employee” who works for the member.

[[[Why do I think there is something else that she’s hoping doesn’t drop?]]]

Exactly there is more to this story.

I agree. Bisexuality is embraced by Dems. The pics are Dem acceptable. There has to be some taboo she broke that there are pics of. I am betting animals but kids are another possibility.

Agree.....she has done less than the skank Harris running for president. I don’t think she needs to resign even though she’s a rat, when you compare her carpet munching, to what others have done and still hold their position, like Adam shitt, China Friedstien etc. Theres got to be something else going on.

My understanding is that she had national security clearances and thus was subjected to blackmail. No wonder Pelosi told her to hit the road. She would have jeopardized impeachment proceedings.

The taboo was the inner thigh/”bathing suit area” iron cross tattoo attributed to Nazism.

Most oddly she is a very skilled politician and semi hot of which I suspect also of high intelligence. She forgot the one most important thing, never take pictures and do not drink to much. I suspect booze had much to do with her errors of judgement. Relative to her attentions of the same sex I must admit she had good taste. High intelligence also lends one to great arrogance. Great arrogance is a killer.

Karma is a double bladed bitch with a bad attitude and no sense of humor. I love Karma.

There will have to be a special election sometime for the seat she stole last time. I wonder whether Gov. Newsom has had PG&E cut the power to any of that district. The combination of power cuts and the recent revelations about what had been representing them, may be more votes than the cheaters can harvest.

Trying to think of a sexual deviancy that The Dems don’t approve of is going to be a challenge. Maybe it’s not sexual. Maybe she is an alien from Uranus or somewhere or a robot. It’s for certain she is just what California needs during all the other crap they have to deal with. Elections have consequences.

There is a “New Age” explanation for the cross. That wasn’t it. It would have been uncomfortable but not a kill shot.

A note about google and her pics. All the private parts were discretely covered up. If one googles other celebs such as Paris Hilton it is all their in its glory. Why did google decide to be discrete on this politician?

I went through the list of deviancy and there were just those two that stood out to me as current official Dem taboo. I guess necrophilia too so three in total.

They didn’t... Red State did. Pics were leaked to Red State and RS showed some class and didn’t post full monty shots or the hardcore stuff they got.

No— a fundraiser campaign manager type. More importantly ther e is NO question that she married her own brother in a sham marriage to obtain a citizenship “visa” for him. As such she is already a federal criminal, and should not be allowed one more day in the House.

But then there is the fag Rep from Rhode Island—the former mayor of Providence, and mobster’s son (the Providence gangs were some of the worst- just ask Giuliani). He should be removed.

And then there’s impeached and convicted former Federal Judge Alcee Hastings— who turned right around and ran for office, and has been there ever since. Corrupt, greedy and lying bastard.

We should work through the list—RINOs also. Get rid of all of them— for far more than a loyalty oath.

She is also a DRUNK, and seen in another nude pic holding a BONG.

A real party animal! (The Democrat Party that is)

Maybe she was photographed reaching across the aisle to a Republican.

That sort of proof would be enough to make any Democrat resign.

The pics are out already— through Reddit, and they are as if she had always been in the porno biz, and also some seriously ugly pussy hat girlfriends and truly beyond weasel bixex boyfriends, and that schlub of a fat soy boy “husband” of hers. Truly— she has to have some arrest record or encounter that is worse than all that has occurred. And willing to bet the Satan daughter has molested young pre-teen girls, and maybe boys as well.

Mentally ill individual. And... stupid. The Vice Chair of cumming’s govt oversight... and Reform committee. She sure has the Vice experience down.
