The names of sexual predators are flying out of
Pandora’s Box at an increasing rate.
There is panic in the media and the halls of Congress. Deals are being frantically made to
stop the bleeding. The efforts to
defeat Roy Moore’s campaign for the Senate from Alabama have resulted in a
historic social transformation.
Even with access to Obama’s database and NSA records, the best the deep
state can come up with is 38 year old allegations of sexual abuse by Moore. Moore’s alleged crimes are trivial
compared to what prominent politicians and media personalities are being
accused of.
People who were outraged at allegation about
Moore’s behavior 38 years ago now appear to be defending more recent behavior
that is often backed up with photos and documents.
The scandals have exposed the Congress’s methods to conceal
embarrassing incidents. The Congress Office of Compliance (COC) was
set up to deal with complaints. It
reportedly disbursed $17 million over a twenty year period to cover
complaints. The admission about
the COC is a distraction of sorts and the 17 million figure is a gross
underestimate. In addition to the
COC there is the House Employment Counsel advising members how
to conceal their behavior. These
are two institutions that have been reported on in the press. Are there any more?
Much has been made of the $17 million
payout. However, neither one of
the two prominent politicians who have been exposed paid their victims out of
this fund. Rep. John Conyers paid
a former employee $27,111.74
out of his Member’s Representational Allowance account. Rep. Raul Grijalva gave
$48,395 to the female employee who left her job after three months. Grijalva’s settlement was reportedly
arranged by lawyers at the House Employment Counsel. Is spite of politicians receiving advice from lawyers, these
arrangements may be illegal. Also the COC may be dealing with only a
fraction of the complaints. Tracy Manzer, Congresswoman Speier’s spokesperson told
CNN that 80 percent of people who have come to her office to share stories of
sexual misconduct never told the COC.
In order to protect themselves from charges of
complicity, people in a position of power must claim that the charges against
an individual came as a complete surprise. Matt Lauer’s co-host Savannah Guthrie fought back tears when
she announced Lauer had been fired for “inappropriate sexual behavior. She stated, “we do not know more than
what I just shared with you.” NBC
News Chairman Andrew Lack told staff it "may not have been an isolated incident." If Savannah knew nothing about Lauer’s
behavior she has no business in the news business. If Andrew Lack thinks Lauer’s behavior “may” not have been
isolated he has no business being in management. In 2012 Lauer's former co-host Katie Couric said he pinched
her "on the a-- a lot."
Joe Scarborough claimed he attended a Friars Club event for a roast of
Lauer. He claims many of the jokes
were made about his sexual pursuits at work. He added, "So was this whispered behind closed doors?
No, it was shouted from the mountaintops and everybody laughed about it,"
This type of behavior is virtually
impossible to keep secret.
Politicians have the advantage of paying their victims with other
people’s money. Cokie
Roberts, NPR correspondent and ABC News commentator, claimed "every
female in the press corps knew" to avoid being in an elevator with Rep.
John Conyers (D-MI), and has apparently known about this "for years."
She added, “you know they are so used to it. I mean, the culture of
Capitol Hill for so many decades was men being bad.” Conyers’ attorney Arnold E. Reed, claims there are allegations
against "many members" of the House and Senate. He might be
suggesting that Conyers does not intend to go down alone. The Congress of the United States is
like a small fraternity. Members
are fully aware of what other members are up to. Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer
know who has stepped over the line.
They knew about Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy. Kennedy made no effort to conceal his affairs “including
public sex in 1985 and 1987 at La Brasserie restaurant. Yet his colleagues referred to him as
“the gentleman from Massachusetts.”
There is an obvious double standard when it comes to aberrant
behavior by progressives. If Judge
Moore had drugged and had intercourse with a 13 year old girl that would be a
crime. When Roman Polanski did it
Whoopi Goldberg claimed it was not “rape-rape.” The excuses used to defend Bill Clinton’s behavior are too
numerous to recount. The media
does its best not to cover incidents that would embarrassment colleagues or
politicians unless they disagree with them. The attack on Judge Moore appears to have failed. In fact it has exploded in the face of
the left. They are
most likely working on a new revelation that will be announced on December 11,
one day before the election. This
will not give Moore’s defenders time to refute it.
