Congressional Payouts For Sexual Harassment Settlements For The Last 20 Years
2017-11-17


Makes me wonder what required investigation(s) protocols are followed before the check is cut.

What I found to be interesting in the chart is that the $/awards seem to be growing ominously from $5k a pop in 1997 to better than $100k each this year. And we still have 44 days until the ball drops!

#7  You have a lovely wife, Rambler.

Guys, for whatever reason Rantburg doesn't like Weasel Zipper images. It's time to stop trying to post them.

#6  Why the hell are taxpayers on the hook for the actions of individuals?

If I sexually abuse/assault/harrass/bother an underling at work, my employer fires me. They don't pay any settlement. I realize that congressweasels can't really be fired. But THEY should pay any settlements out of their own pockets.

Note:I don't have any underlings, so I can't abuse/assault/harrass/bother anyone. Besides when my wife got done with me, I would have wait until I was out of ICU to pay any settlement.

#3  With those numbers and the general character of past and current senators in Washington you would think Roy Moore would fit right in with the Kennedys, Clinton’s, Frankens....
