Since 1997, members of Congress (both Republican and Democrat) have paid out millions of tax payer dollars to settle harassment claims made against them or their staff member. The names of this swamp creatures remains a big secret to this day. Not only are the names secret, but all of this money paid to settle harassment cases doesn’t come out of the pocket of the offending Congressman or woman. Instead, you, the tax payer has been paying for this since the days of Bill Clinton.

There have been at least 8 settlements this year alone, costing tax payers nearly a million dollars. I wonder if Al Franken is a part of these settlements? Why in the hell do these Congress scum get the not only keep secret their harassment accusers, but also not even pay for it? This pisses me off.
