I think this is going to get huge.
Pelosi is going to be up to her neck in this. Most of this happened under her watch.
It goes on,
They should investigate the sitting president too while they’re at it.
How so?
Explain to me how Pelosi is “up to her neck” with what grown men do?
I also didn’t notice that Smokey/Oily Joe Barton’s name mentioned in the above post!
You know the family-values Texas Republican representative who was outed of sending “dic pics,” looking pregnant and talking filthy on Twitter!
Once the information has been received, it will be put under seal and selectively leaked by guess which party.
The 1995 Congressional Accountability Act gave the compliance office the authority to use taxpayer dollars from the Department of the Treasury to settle claims against lawmakers. That $17 million was spent on 264 individual cases, but it’s not known whether all those cases dealt with sexual harassment claims.
She has been in senior House leadership roles, including Minority Leader and Speaker, for 15 of those 20 years. Either she knew or she did not know. Either way is damning.
I don’t see how she did not know about all this. Her initial response to the Conyers scandal was to try to make excuses for him (“he’s an icon”). The ONLY reason she is speaking out now is because the truth is coming out. Otherwise, she would still be going along with the 20 years of cover-ups.

You’re completely disregarding what else she said in that same interview about due process.Her overall position I took away from that interview is to have an investigation and let the chips fall where they may. Did you watch it on Fox News where maybe that part was edited out?
This type of stuff has been going-on and covered-up for decades. There is no “due process” here - the settlement money was paid years ago. If she did not know what happened, she could have investigated and found out herself before she did any interviews.
But she knew what happened, but she was trying to protect Conyers, who had been doing this stuff for many years.
Now that all this is coming out, finally, the question must to be asked:
What did Pelosi know and when did she know it?
The MRA would like to point out that men don’t harass Congressional staffers; Members of Congress do.
Will george ever play a different note, or does he have a one-key piano?
define decades, please?
oh?
ummmmm
A decade = 10 years
So, 2.2 decades since Congressional Accountability Act was passed, and Congress has paid out $17 million on 264 individual cases during those 2.2 decades.
By the way, this scandal is just starting. Conyers is just one of 264 cases. Pelosi has been part of the cover-up.
She knew; you’ll see.
While she was minority whip for just one year, speaker for 4 years n minority leader for 10+, there were other leaders who likely knew about Conyers?
Are you saying all of the current ruckus is on her?..i’ll wait.
So Hoyer is blameless?, So Gephardt is blameless?
So Murtha is blameless?
Its all her fault, right?
No, she was just part of the “ruckus.” She could not have done it by herself. All the leadership, past and present, were involved.
So, what has she done to prevent or expose sexual harassment in the House?
She needs to step-down a Minority Leader. She is an albatross around the Democrat’s neck.
You really need to read the community guidelines again. Perhaps you can offer something to the conversation beside personal insults and profanity:
Late to this party. Is this what we call “Concern Trolling?”
