264 Staffers Paid $17 Million In Congressional Harassment Hush Money

The reason so few incidents of harassment, sexual and otherwise, of Congressional staffers by members of Congress have ended up in financial settlements is because Congress passed a law in 1995 (signed by Bill Clinton) designed to protect itself from such claims – prohibiting their employees from having the same rights of redress that more than two million other federal employees and tens of millions of private sector employees have.

So will the publish the frequent flier list ???

Congress never goes by the rules they pass.
Taxes, health even the old telecom laws do not apply to them.
If you older ladies and gentlemen remember back in 84 there was a thing called
the divestiture or the breakup of the phone companies.
Well they made every person in the U S go along with it, with it,s higher bills for the same thing
Yada, yada, yada on the hill no of the rules applied to them.
I put new phones from the White House to the hill and nothing applied to them.
They have slush funds for all kinds of stuff, did you not take notice from
the term in the 70s follow the money. After they are in a few years it becomes about
being reelected not about you and me.
