Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) told MSNBC’s Chuck Todd on Meet the Press Daily on Tuesday that the U.S. House of Representatives has paid $15 million to alleged victims of sexual harassment by its own members in recent years.
“We do know there is about $15 million that has been paid out by the House on behalf of harassers in the last ten to 15 years,” she said.
“15 million dollars has been paid out over sexual harassment claims,” Todd replied, somewhat shocked. “So, obviously more than one member of Congress.”
Pressed for details, Speier said she did not know how many members of Congress were involved. She also explained that victims had signed non-disclosure agreements. “If the taxpayers are involved, don’t we have the right to know?” Todd asked later in the segment.
“I think you do have the right to know,” she said. “But right now, under the system, you don’t have a right to know.”

THey’re all huge hypocrites!
Earlier in the day, Speier testified at the Committee on House Administration that there were two current members of Congress, one Republican and one Democrat, who were guilty of sexual harassment. She did not divulge names.
If you know, why are you protecting them??? Give us the names.
I would assume, that congressmen and women have insurance that would protect them from civil law suits that arise out of work. There fore the insurance company would pay out these claims. I don’t see how this would come out of taxpayer money or should they.
And these slobs are yelling about Judge Moore????? I said the other day here that these pigs were pigs, wallowing in their slop. These A-holes need to be tarred and feathered, hung up by their heels and let every citizen come by and take a whack!!! These slobs make me sick. EVERYONE of them, EVERYONE!!! My wife said last night, “what matter does it matter any more that we vote. All we get is screwed by a bunch of lying, perverted, slobs.” I agree with her. I am about ready to say to hell with them all. WHAT does it matter any more??? They go up there, join the gang of thieves who are robbing us blind, screw us in the ground and take our money. I am sick of them. To hell with them. I am of the mind that I am through voting. It does not matter any more. What good is it doing??? None in my humble opinion, and yes, yes, I hear all of those who will yell we cannot give in. REALLY??? Tell me how it makes a difference??? I voted for Trump and now I see where his little band is all for giving back a great portion of Israel to the Palestinians and screw Israel and make her go back to the 67 borders!!! If Trump goes through with that, he can go to hell, I am done with him if he comes up with a deal like that. I hope BeBe tells him to go do it to himself. I stand with God and Israel in this war, not the ones trying to give the Land to the PA. God said HE WILL JUDGE THOSE WHO DIVIDE HIS LAND!!! That Scripture must be concerning what these idiots are trying to do now!!!
Why was McConnell abruptly discharged from the military, according to what I have read? The only source I could find in Google search was DK, so I am uncertain as to how much of what I read was true.
Pressed for details, Speier said she did not know how many members of Congress were involved. She also explained that victims had signed non-disclosure agreements.IOW, no evidence that this even had gone on, and if true, a violation of the privacy of the victims. The DNC's War on Women continues.
What about Biden? Let’s run his reputation into the ground...
I think this is why I enjoy the movie “Shooter” so much. I like what happens to the Ned Beatty character at the end.

btw, the stepson of an accuser accuses her of lying.
Looks like Congress needs a “Moore Law” -—
“If any human of any age accuses any duly elected Representative of sexual, racial, religious, or ethnic harassment or abuse, no matter how long ago and without regard for proof or legal process, that Congressman or Senator must be immediately expelled from the legislative body for cause.”
That should take care of it -— and on to the never-ending special elections.
If this is true (and I suspect there is at least some truth to it), this could be the biggest story of the year. It needs to be OUT. We need to know NAMES.
Drain that swamp!
The current and former leaders of the house and senate must resign, these charges are just to series.
They exempt themselves from any and all accountability possible as well as the laws the foist upon us.

What would you do for entertainment?
Trump is Israel’s greatest friend.
Please, Congress, explain how forcing congressional sexual assault victims to sign non disclosures and then be given $millions from a hush fund created out of taxpayer dollars ANY different from Harvey Weinstein?
Both Ryan and McConnel should be forced to resign. Taxpayer money paid out as hush money for uniparty swamp denizens.
And they had the gaul to participate in the frame up of Roy Moore.
YES!!!
