Congress In No Rush To Hold Themselves Accountable For Sexual Harassment Payments |
2018-12-10 |
[Hot Air] Do you recall, back during the initial rush of the #MeToo moment, when we discovered that legislators in the House and Senate had slush funds available to pay for the silence of sexual harassment accusers? There was a general uproar over that and we were assured that the members were going to get right to work on cleaning up their act. Good times, my friends. But what happened to that project? As it turns out, not much. There were proposals written, and the House actually passed a bill, but when it hit the Senate, nobody could ever seem to agree on the details. And now, with the lame duck session drawing to a close, we don’t seem to be much closer to a final bill being passed. (Boston Globe) |

#5 From 1997 to 2017, $15.2 million went into hush/ slush fund to keep things quiet. Once again the taxpayers are on the hook for Congresscritter's wrongdoing while they are not held accountable. Hypocrits Nadler and Schitt have got a lot of gall. |
