BREAKING: Pelosi Calls on Conyers To Resign Amid Slush Fund/Sex Abuse Scandal
Buzzfeed tipped off by Mike Cernovich, who gave them the story so the dems couldn't just attack the source. Congress is using taxpayer money to settle sexual harassment/assault cases, and the documents are sealed, meaning women that come in contact with these predators in the future have no warning or protection, and there is zero accountability to taxpayers.

Great journalism.

Quote:She Complained That A Powerful Congressman Harassed Her. Here’s Why You Didn’t Hear Her Story.

“When you make private settlements, it doesn’t warn the next woman or the next person going into that situation.”

Michigan Rep. John Conyers, a Democrat and the longest-serving member of the House of Representatives, settled a wrongful dismissal complaint in 2015 with a former employee who alleged she was fired because she would not “succumb to [his] sexual advances.”

Documents from the complaint obtained by BuzzFeed News include four signed affidavits, three of which are notarized, from former staff members who allege that Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the powerful House Judiciary Committee, repeatedly made sexual advances to female staff that included requests for sexual favors, contacting and transporting other women with whom they believed Conyers was having affairs, caressing their hands sexually, and rubbing their legs and backs in public. Four people involved with the case verified the documents are authentic.

And the documents also reveal the secret mechanism by which Congress has kept an unknown number of sexual harassment allegations secret: A grinding, closely held process that left the alleged victim feeling, she told BuzzFeed News, that she had no option other than to stay quiet and accept a settlement offered to her.

“I was basically blackballed. There was nowhere I could go,” she said in a phone interview. BuzzFeed News is withholding the woman’s name at her request, because she said she fears retribution.

The documents were first provided to BuzzFeed News by Mike Cernovich, the men's rights figure turned pro-Trump media activist who propagated a number of false conspiracy theories including the “Pizzagate” conspiracy. Cernovich said he gave the documents to BuzzFeed News for vetting and further reporting, and because he said if he published them himself, Democrats and congressional leaders would “try to discredit the story by attacking the messenger.” He provided them without conditions. BuzzFeed News independently confirmed the authenticity of the documents with four people directly involved with the case, including the accuser.

Also amazing detail in here: Buzzfeed got the documents from Mike Cernovich, who wanted them to print it so Democrats couldn’t attack the source.

Alt-left verified twitter is melting down that Cernovich got the scoop, and they don't know who to attack because he gave it to Buzzfeed. Fake news cnn's jack tapper has shared it, as has shaun king of all people.

I mentioned last week that I've called both TN senators (RINOs BTW) and my rep (1st term so don't know at this point if he'll end up a RINO or not) and DEMANDED congress open the records to show us who used the $$$ to pay off accusations.

Cernovich doing backflips over the fact that conyers just denied the allegations.

LOL, we aren't talking about forged yearbooks. They have the notarized settlement documents. They have everything.

Maxine Waters To Women: Alleged Sexual Harasser John Conyers ‘Has Impeccable Integrity On Our Issues’

[Image: imui2v.jpg]

She knew but all they care about is holding power on their issues, so she has no problem supporting him.

Quote:Rep. John Conyers, newly facing sexual misconduct charges from former aides, was praised by fellow Rep. Maxine Waters just last month as a champion of women.

During an address to organizers of the national Women’s March in which she lashed out at “rape culture” and President Trump, she singled out the Michigan lawmaker for special attention.

“You know, there is a member of Congress who has been supportive of women for many, many, many years,” said said in a keynote address to the Women’s Convention Sojourner Truth Luncheon in Detroit.

“He is quiet, he is confident, he is powerful, but he has impeccable integrity on all of our issues. Give John Conyers a big round of applause.” C-SPAN captured her comments and those of others who spoke at the event.

Despite the obvious mistake of doing so, wapo couldn't help themselves and is attacking the source. So predictable. MSM is truly a dinosaur.
