Gateway Pundit – by Cristina Laila
As previously reported, Congress has a rampant sexual harassment problem. In fact the problem is so bad that female lawmakers and aides keep a ‘creep list’ of men who are notorious for lewd behavior.
A release of the year-by-year breakdown of harassment settlements and other awards has people guessing names!
A new report by CNN exposes the DC swamp’s very serious problem of powerful men preying on women. CNN spoke with over 50 current and former lawmakers, aides and staff who have personally experienced sexual harassment on The Hill or know people who have.
As if this couldn’t get any worse, Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) told MSNBC’s Chuck Todd Tuesday that taxpayers have paid over $15 million to settle sexual harassment lawsuits against members of Congress!
TAXPAYER MONEY.
WE WANT NAMES!

You'd have to think 2007 is Mark Foley, right?

In case you are wondering what happened in 2002. It was probably related to the irradiating of mail after the anthrax scare (via @cqnow):https://t.co/dmwV9BFZwF ($) pic.twitter.com/c8Sidtcfjy

This should be a completely bipartisan issue – the details of these settlements must be released immediately. Any United States politician not calling for the release of the settlement details can easily be viewed by many as being implicated themselves. https://t.co/owMlVTbG7a
