Do you fell the same way of John Conyers ?
Longest-serving current Dem congressman accused of disgusting acts, and you paid to shut the women up

The Washington, D.C., swamp is deeper and dirtier than we ever thought.
Democrat John Conyers, the longest-serving current member of the House of Representatives, allegedly used taxpayer money to settle a 2015 wrongful termination lawsuit filed by a former employee who says she was fired because she wouldn’t have sex with him.

Drain the Swamp: Maxine Waters is a longtime ally of Congressman John Conyers.
Four former staff members claim the 88-year-old Conyers — the ranking Democrat on the powerful House Judiciary Committee — sexually harassed and touched them and other female subordinates, according to affidavits obtained by BuzzFeed.
Conyers has been a congressman since 1965. Term limits, anyone?
The unnamed woman who filed the 2015 lawsuit begrudgingly accepted a $27,000 settlement after she sued Conyers for propositioning her for sex and then firing her after she complained.
She felt pressured to accept the settlement (which taxpayers funded) because she feared Conyers would use his influence to damage her reputation and her career. “I was basically blackballed,” she told BuzzFeed. “There was nowhere I could go.”

Among the bombshell sex-harassment allegations by four former staffers against Conyers include the following:
He asked a female staffer to touch his penis.
He rubbed female staffers’ legs and backs in public.
He ordered a female subordinate to use taxpayer money to fly women to his hotel room or apartment for sex.
He intimidated victims to stay quiet or they’d be ruined.
Ironically, John Conyers slammed President Trump last week at Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ congressional hearing, claiming Trump abuses his power (see video above).
“President Trump seems to believe that on a whim he can bring pressure to bear on his enemies, dismiss charges against him, and insulate himself and his family from any consequences,” Conyers said. “I cannot overemphasize the danger of his perspective.”

Conyers and his longtime ally, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, have repeatedly called for President Trump to be impeached. Conyers and a group of Democrats recently filed a lawsuit to remove Trump from office, claiming abuse of power. Projecting much, Congressman?
Sadly, John Conyers isn’t the only politician who’s using taxpayer funds to settle sex abuse claims. Congress has spent $17 million of taxpayer money since 1997 to settle 264 harassment claims filed against lawmakers.
After paying off victims, Congress protects the identity of the abusers, even though they’re public servants whose salaries are paid by taxpayers.
It's time to release the names of those in congress who used our money to hush accusers.

Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee said this scam is outrageous.
“I shouldn’t have to pay out of my paycheck, or you yours, to cover the sins of some congressman who couldn’t keep his hands to himself,” Huckabee told Fox News.
