Sexual Lawsuits in US Congress - Why we don't know anything about them

CNN - Congress paid out $17 million in settlements. Here's why we know so little about that money.

On Thursday, the Office of Compliance released additional information indicating that it has paid victims more than $17 million since its creation in the 1990s. That includes all settlements, not just related to sexual harassment, but also discrimination and other cases.

They budget for this shit.

That's $17M over 27 years. No budget required. That's change dropped at the window of a drive-thru.

From the article:

The fund was set up by the Congressional Accountability Act, the 1995 law that created the Office of Compliance.

A fund was created so it is a budgeted item.

They should have prostitutes come in above board.

The current situation may give them more thrill than prostitutes would, because they like to exercise unjust power and feed off pain and discomfort.
