 Paranoia grips Capitol Hill as harassment scandal spreads

Lawmakers and aides are consumed by one question: Who's next?

By ELANA SCHOR and RACHAEL BADE

The details change almost daily, but the rumor won’t die: A credible news organization is preparing to unmask at least 20 lawmakers in both parties for sexual misconduct.

Speculation about this theoretical megastory is spreading like wildfire across Congress and beyond, a lurking bad-press boogeyman that’s always described as on the verge of going public. And it’s far from the only worry that’s seeped into the collective psyche of Capitol Hill, where members and aides are now perpetually bracing for the next allegation to drop.

Why do I get the sense that this will be nothing but back benchers and no big fish from either party?

It will end with a whimper as more Democrats get caught in its trap. Our local Democrat controlled paper is already starting to dismiss it.

@mystery-ak

I've read every piece written about this that has come my way - numbers start at 20 and go up to 40+.
No point in speculating whether this is credible or not until this whatever it is, is revealed.
