Congressional Slush Fund to pay off Prostitutes, Mistresses, and Sexual Assault Victims

I think it is time President Trump Orders the AG to do a full blown investigation in to how much money the taxpayers have had to pay to keep hookers, mistresses, and sexual assault victims silent. I bet The BARNEY FRANK BILL IS ENORMOUS!

Congressional secret fund to pay off sexual harassment claims

REPORT: Congress Pays Off Its Sexual Harassment Victims With Taxpayer Funded "Slush Fund"

Since when are members of Congress and their staffs accused of sexual harassment allowed to hush up and pay off their accusers from a secret “shush” fund full of taxpayer dollars? Since 1995, it turns out.

But until recently, I did not know about the “shush fund” of Congress, a fund managed by the “Office of Compliance,” which itself was created following the 1995 enactment of the Congressional Accountability Act (CAA), the first law enacted by the first Republican House in four decades…

So the CAA created the “Office of Compliance” to deal with such issues. Complainants begin the dispute resolution process with a mandatory (yes, really) course of counseling that can last up to 30 days. Only after completing the compulsory counseling may a complainant pursue mediation. That, too, can last up to 30 days. If mediation fails to resolve the issue to the complainant’s satisfaction, she or he can then go to an administrative hearing, or file a federal lawsuit.

Here’s the kicker: If the dispute is resolved in favor of the complainant (read: victim), funds for the settlement don’t come out of the offender’s personal bank account, or his or her campaign account. Instead, they come out of a secret account maintained by the Office of Compliance. It is so secret, in fact, that taxpayers don’t even know they are funding it.

Too many GOP members will be caught up in any attempt to investigate this which is why nothing will be done.

#HimToo: Senator Cory Booker Accused of Sexual Assault by Gay Man | 93.1 WIBC

"I stopped to use one of the building’s single-occupancy restrooms. Upon washing my hands prior to leaving, I hear knocking on the door. When it comes to these restrooms, it is customary to knock first in case someone is using it, even though there is an inner lock. When I opened the door, Mr. Booker was there. He smiled and very gregariously said, “Hey!” We engaged in some brief idle chitchat in the entryway and then he asked me to speak in private. What happened next, happened so fast that it was hard for me to comprehend what was going on.

It was one of those surreal moments where what was happening was such a deviation and such a perversion of one’s natural daily routine that I hardly knew how to react. He pulled me into the bathroom, albeit not too forcefully, and slowly pushed me against the restroom wall. He said that “Being a hero was a serious turn-on.” He continued, “The Senate appreciates fine citizens like you. Especially this senator.” He then put his left hand on my groin, over my jeans, and began to rub. I seem to remember saying something like “What is happening?” It was a bit like having vertigo. He then used his other hand to grab my left hand with his right and pulled it over to touch him.

At the same time, he disengaged from rubbing me and used his left hand to push me to my knees from my shoulder for what was clearly a move to have me perform oral sex on him. At that point, I pulled away quite violently and told him I had to go. I did not see him again before he left."


ME: I wonder if Corey Booker told his victim he was Spartacus shortly before he ran from the bathroom stall in terror?

The list of people from Congress that used taxpayer dollars to settle suits should be made public and they should be forced to pay back every dollar. The treasury isn’t there to fund your grab ass.

I am known for being quite a reasonable person. You like to put people in boxes to suit your rants so you wouldn’t know that about me.

I put people in boxes until they fight their way out of them. Otherwise, I seal the box, weigh it down with some rocks and push it off a bridge in to a river. I found it is a good way to strengthen the gene pool.

If you can't fight your way out of a wet paper box......well.....I just don't know what to tell you then.

He should release that, and the FISA abuse report unredacted all at the same time.

So True! It took down Al Franken. Exposed Corey Booker. And made a fool out of The Left when they falsely accused Kavanaugh.

I think it is time President Trump Orders the AG to do a full blown investigation in to how much money the taxpayers have had to pay to keep hookers, mistresses, and sexual assault victims silent. I bet The BARNEY FRANK BILL IS ENORMOUS!

This story broke a long time ago -- I remember it being reported during previous sex scandals (Dem and GOP).

So much for drain the swamp.

Congress has had the game rigged in its favor a for long time.

I am pretty sure Bill Clinton would approve of The Slush Fund, especially if Congress would have been so kind as to extend this perk to him.
