“The Treasury Department paid.....”. Who cut the check? It’s obvious even low level clerks knew about it.

[Terry Mross]

They created their own system to protect themselves. I can’t imagine that when a new person is sworn in he’s not told about the sexual harassment system that will be used in case someone “fraudulently accuses” them of unwanted sexual advances. They are ALL complicit.

This all started with the Democrats’ attempt to torpedo Judge Roy Moore’s candidacy for the Senate. It’s turned on them like an angry wildcat.

To paraphrase Yamamoto, “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill her with a terrible resolve.”

Its just money. The presses are running 24/7.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Anonymous charges from anonymous complaints about anonymous Congressmen = Guaranteed FRAUD. Keep anonymity UNTIL the charge is “investigated” independently and payment approved. THEN reveal the Congressman, and MAKE HIM PAY.

If they aren’t going to hush it up anymore they need to let the members be charged, go to court and live by the decision. It isn’t their problem.

[mrsmith]

Misdirection.

It's the secret payoffs of accusers by donors and lobbyists that matter.

[Liz]

Congress created the system to protect themselves.....when a new person is sworn in he’s probably told about the in-place sexual harassment system to be mobilized in case someone “fraudulently accuses” them of unwanted sexual advances. They are ALL complicit.

You nailed it........it's organized crime.

They're all in it together.

There's plenty of protection money there to keep themselves in office.

Irregardless of their crimes, they get off scot-free.

[Liz]

There’s a huge paper trail......the Treasury doesn’t write checks anonymously.

[HotHunt]

"....Congress reeling from sexual harassment deluge...."

I'm "reeling" from the audacity of these people to have a formal slush fund set aside for sexual misconduct coverups and silencing by it's members.

And the gaul to use taxpayer revenue to fund that honey pot.

[Liz]

An outrage.

[Terry Mross]

As it was once said, You’re either for me or against me. EVERY member of congress and all of their aids have always known about this racket. Not saying they’ve all needed to use the funds. But they’ve never said a word about their “good friends” using them.

[Liz]

Exactly the way organized crime works....”the omerta.”
