The takeaway from this article is that the number of sexual harassment settlements is much, much higher than reported:
It took several months of navigating the labyrinthine Office of Compliance (OOC) for the woman to receive a grand total of $27,111.75 over a three-month period by setting her up as a temporary employee who didn’t have to show up to work. That kept the settlement within Conyers’ office budget rather than the normal fund used to settle workplace complaints from Congressional staffers.
I.e. If the settlement is paid out of the legislator's office budget, it doesn't count towards the sexual harassment statistics.

Monica Conyers served 3yrs+ for corruption in the Federal lockup. These people are not public servants--they are leeches who feed off the rest of us.
There are risks to criticizing/exposing these criminals. Dinesh D'Souza ended up in prison for a ginned-up charge. The time seems to be ripe for taking them down. They are tearing the country down; not building it up.
[The Hill] An FBI informant gathered extensive evidence during his six years undercover about a Russian plot to corner the American uranium market, ranging from corruption inside a U.S. nuclear transport company to Obama administration approvals that let Moscow buy and sell more atomic fuels, according to more than 5,000 pages of documents from the counterintelligence investigation.
The memos, reviewed by The Hill, conflict with statements made by Justice Department officials in recent days that informant William Campbell’s prior work won’t shed much light on the U.S. government’s controversial decision in 2010 to approve Russia’s purchase of the Uranium One mining company and its substantial U.S. assets.
Campbell documented for his FBI handlers the first illegal activity by Russians nuclear industry officials in fall 2009, nearly a entire year before the Russian state-owned Rosatom nuclear firm won Obama administration approval for the Uranium One deal, the memos show.
Campbell, who was paid $50,000 a month to consult for the firm, was solicited by Rosatom colleagues to help overcome political opposition to the Uranium One purchase while collecting FBI evidence that the sale was part of a larger effort by Moscow to make the U.S. more dependent on Russian uranium, contemporaneous emails and memos show.
"The attached article is of interest as I believe it highlights the ongoing resolve in Russia to gradually and systematically acquire and control global energy resources," Rod Fisk, an American contractor working for the Russians, wrote in a June 24, 2010 email to Campbell.
The email forwarded an article on Rosatom’s efforts to buy Uranium One through its ARMZ subsidiary. Fisk also related information from a conversation with the Canadian executives of the mining firm about their discomfort with the impending sale.

Why do I recall WJC's trip to the USSR as a college-aged youngster, Obama's open mike moments during a meeting with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev (Putin's guy), and HRC's reset moment with her little button--now there's Russian collusion. Are these three super criminals driven by money or ideologically-driven leftists?Both? Someone described BHO, in a comment, as a "Pseudo-intellectual crypto-Marxist troglodytic dimwitted oaf...I'll just call him a puppet. IMO, they all deserve to be in SuperMax.

Once launched, it is hard to tell where this thing will end up. I just know that people are weary of the venality that is in the DNA of the Dem Party. Grom, enjoy the show awhile longer. DNA changes take a awhile.
Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) settled a complaint in 2015 from a woman who alleged she was fired from his staff because she rejected his sexual advances, according to a new report from BuzzFeed.
Conyers‘ office reportedly paid the woman more than $27,000 to settle the complaint under a confidentiality agreement.
Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, "repeatedly made sexual advances to female staff that included requests for sexual favors, contacting and transporting other women with whom they believed Conyers was having affairs, caressing their hands sexually, and rubbing their legs and backs in public," BuzzFeed reported, citing signed affidavits.
“I was basically blackballed. There was nowhere I could go,” the alleged victim told BuzzFeed in a phone interview.

Re all the outing of pervs..
I suspect Bannon of plotting it. Kills rhinos, cultural war on the other side between each other and cleans out questionable support on the right. It's a win win without being in the target
I call it a cultural purge.
But the purge might have been sparked by Bannon or the like but now it has a life of it's own. Think of donations for cute puppies and kitties... now these folk like babies too. Pedophiles better run. Next is predators upon young wimmin.
I think it's just reaching critical mass. Will be fun to watch.
I was talking to a gay retired engineer yesterday. He's done the 180 to all pols are crooks not just pubs. So gay is fracturing..
The dems and to extant old pubs are going to have a "can't put humpty dumpty back together again" problem.
That's a huge win against deep state.
and deep media
maybe deep corporate but I doubt it.
Or put another way Alinsky methods used against the users of it.
Trump gets to tweet away as he may but the wimmin's eyes are on the "abusers".
Deep corporate will be real quick to welcome a bulletproof way to take out the trash without employment discrimination litgation and you can just hear the glee over "What? You mean we don't have to embrace that demographic anymore? Heheheheeeee..."

The more evidence has piled up against Moore, the more the White House has drifted towards supporting him. You can interpret that in two ways. From the standpoint of expedience, Team Trump had to be cautious after the scandal first broke because there was too much uncertainty about what might happen. Moore might quit; the state party might oust him; Alabama Republicans might revolt; more, and worse, accusations might surface. The safe play was to say Moore must go if the allegations are true. Twelve days later, there’s much less uncertainty. Moore won’t quit and the state GOP won’t remove him as nominee. Alabama Republicans are hanging with him for the most part but he’s lost enough of them to give Jones a credible chance of taking the seat. It’s now a binary choice, just as it was last November. And given a binary choice, the tribe always sides with its own, no matter what its representative is accused of. Moore calculated that as long as he stands firm, no matter how bad the scandal gets, the belief that anything is better than a Democrat will keep most of the party with him. He was right. Another way to put it "It's time to take a stand against the baying mob". Continued on Page 47

True, though, and I'm skeptical of the lack of timeliness and age of the accusations against Moore along with the details that don't jibe. This guy has been in a very public eye for a long time.

>The more evidence has piled up against Moore
Trump's moved as the "evidence" has been shown to be a fake. Moore has called the faker's bluff, and Trump has joined him.

Judge Moore is against many pet issues of the left and therefore he has a target on his back. The left uses the usual tools of character assassination and smear tactics. If there are no issues, they will make them. They are just that evil.

He believes that every right enumerated in the Bill of Rights is limited, and the Second Amendment is no exception.
According to the Alabama Political Reporter, Jones described himself as "a Second Amendment guy," but stressed that some gun control is necessary. He said, "We’ve got limitations on all constitutional amendments in one form or another." This position is contrary to the clear language of the amendment, which states that the right to keep and bear arms "shall not be infringed."
He stressed that he loves to hunt but still believes in "smart" gun laws.
During a September 24, 2017, appearance on Meet the Press, Jones said, "The biggest issue, I think, that’s facing the Second Amendment right now is that we need to make sure we shore up the National Crime Information System, the NICS system for background checks, to both keep guns out of the hands of criminals, but at the same time, cut down on error so that law-abiding citizens can get those."
New gun control focused on background checks has been introduced by Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) since Jones’ appearance on Meet the Press. Like Jones, Sen. Murphy believes the Second Amendment has limitations.
During a May 2013 appearance on Rachel Maddow Lean Forward, Murphy said, "The Second Amendment is not an absolute right, not a God-given right. It has always had conditions upon it like the First Amendment has."

Well that whole Constitution thingy was about 'limitations' of the power of government. The Proggies have no concern about any stinking limitations on government.

[ConservativeDailyNews] Most recently, Campbell has confided to close friends that he’s afraid that he won’t be able to testify today. The informant explained that during a routine hike in the hills behind his home, he met an armed man. The two gentlemen held each other’s gaze with weapons drawn.
After an intense moment the man walked away. Campbell believes this was an attempt on his life, caused by the Department of Justice’s release concerning his testimony.
