Blackburn: We're Going to Release Names of Lawmakers Who Used 'Hush Fund'

Nov. 30, 2017

Americans were rightfully outraged when they learned that members of Congress had used taxpayer dollars to pay settlement claims to alleged victims of sexual harassment.

They were even more outraged when they saw the numbers. The secret payouts for harassment claims, of which there have been more than 200, amounted to more than $17 million. There's no telling so far how much of that money went to silence sexual assault accusers.

This could be good. Female politicians can't afford to say nothing and their talking could begin a congressional housecleaning.

All of them or just the ones it would be politically expedient to destroy?

Using taxpayer dollars to settle sexual harassment claims against members of Congress is disgusting. We're going to release the names of those who used this hush fund, and these individuals will pay this money back to the American people with interest.

The MSM loves shiny objects. Let them chew on that info.  Besides, It keeps them away from the important stuff they would add some biased angle.

I wish we could make those IRS slugs do that as well!

Not enough.  I want to know who's been diddling in the company pie.

The list of those not doing so would be FAR shorter IMHO.

I worry about others who are hiding things using their own money like Dennis Hastert. I also want to know why so many of them seem to nest in DC.

Politics does not attract good people.  Whenever I've thought a politician was different, I've eventually been proven wrong.

@Cyber Liberty @Sanguine

Why would any sane person even consider entering politics today?  All one has to do is look at what is being done to a man who has honorably served his country and then the state of Alabama for more than 50 years to decide "to hell with that!"

I hear you, Bigun.  But, we need to reclaim our local politics.

I survived it because of my VERY deep family roots here but would not wish it on anyone else.
