Chuck Schumer Calls Police Over Forged Sexual Harassment Document

[bodecea]

The senator’s office and a former staffer have said the document is fake and the allegations in it are “completely false.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) contacted Capitol Police on Tuesday after his office became aware that news networks had received copies of a forged document accusing the senator of sexual harassment.

Schumer contacted police after multiple news organizations approached his office for comment. Axios was the first to report on the existence of the fake document and the senator’s response.

“This was an apparent effort to dupe reporters and smear a senator — both symptoms of an amped-up news environment where harassment charges are proliferating and reporters have become targets for fraud,” Axios’ Mike Allen reported.

Over the summer, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow had a similar experience and told viewers that her show had received a forged National Security Agency document seemingly filled with explosive allegations. The document, Maddow believes, was sent to her in an effort to discredit her show and other news organizations reporting on Russia’s interference with the 2016 presidential election.

The fake document about Schumer was purportedly signed by a former staffer accusing the senator of sexual harassment. Axios reported the former staffer said her signature on the 13-page document, which was meant to look like a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court, was a forgery.

The document had “obvious red flags,” according to BuzzFeed News’ Kate Nocera, who said she had also seen the document.

Looks and smells like another NaziCon smear campaign. Why can't they play fair without cheating and lying?

This is the new GOP tactic.....trying to muddy the waters a la "O'Keefe fake news.

Throw whoever did it in the slammer. False accusations of sexual harassment or sexual assault should earn the lying accuser some time wearing orange behind bars just like they do in Britain.

And Moore accusers should follow up.

Eagerly awaiting Moore suing his accusers since he says they lied and slandered him.

Should we just take him at his word that he is innocent?

Holyfuckingshit!

You rightards are such dupes. How about taking the word of the alleged complaintant, a former staffer of Schumer who says the allegations in the complaint in her name are false, Schumer never did what is in the complaint, and that it’s not her signature on the complaint?

I'd believe her over him. The point is glaringly obvious, sexual harraasment accusations are now a mainstream political hit tool, and will surface regularly. Next October will be very busy.

Where have you been? Sexual harassment accusations have been mainstream since Clinton’s presidency. The right salivated over it then. Now that it’s happening to them, not so much.

The difference is, today's women are less willing to look the other way than the last generation, who wanted abortion more than preventing and punishing sexual harrassment.

There’s no difference. In any of these cases, it’s women going public with unsubstantiated, unprovable claims of sexual abuse. It may become more prevalent in the future given its effectiveness, but the overall goal is the same in all cases — take down a politician.

It’s not as much fun when it happens to someone on your side of the aisle, is it?

lmao. And Moore with the 14yo WASN'T a smear campaign. Tough titties, Schumer. The tactics just rebounded!! Go screech at the night sky.

Greg

We can certainly say that to the majority of Alabama Republicans, Moore with a 14 yo WASN'T a smear campaign...it was a plus. Fortunately, that was not the case with many women, Latinos, Blacks, and young professionals.

Right.....if he doesn't sue, it's only because of god.........

You realize this was already proven to be fake news pumped out by a deranged rightwingnut, right? The alleged complaint is now under investigation by Capitol police, not to determine the veracity of the complaint as that’s already proven false, but to determine who created the fake complaint.

Probably Dan Rather, he's good at fake documents.

You mean the Dan Rather who resigned. Maybe if he'd had an R after his name, he could have run for office.

I'm with you that if this is fake, bogus, whatever, there should be consequences.

I will also remind you and others that this is why people like me get so upset at fake news from all sides. The Russian Collusion investigation, if you ask me, is a scam. What's worse, it has propped up Putin to near God status in Russia. Here is this guy being given credit for stealing an election from America! They think he is the greatest mind in history. So, if you are going to try and impeach a guy and steal your citizens Will, you had better be careful and you had better be honest and absolutely sure. Now, the ability for the CIA and others to undermine Putins power is significantly reduced.

We see CNN in particular attack Trump on all kinds of bs. Why? To them the ends justify the means. Just as this guy seems to believe...ALL are wrong.

Actually, this scam reinforces other claims in the news as it reveals how difficult it is to fake news and get away with it. It lends credence to accounts like those levied against Moore.

Horseshit. The fact that one perso botched the job doesn't prove it's difficult.

Then...have some fun and try it.

No, it’s not. But the right is full of hypocrites who supported it when it was against Clinton but bitch about it now that the tables have been turned on them. Hell, even during last year’s debate, Trump paraded some of Clinton’s abusers on a national stage.

See if you can link to any rightwinger on this forum who criticized him for doing that....

Spits the forum retard who posts photo of KKK marching in Madison, Wisconsin and claims they’re really Democrats marching at the DNC at Madison Square Garden.

That proves nothing, moron.

Of course it does. It proves you’re a brain-dead cult member of the rightwing herd who posts shit without ever bothering to check the validity of what you post. Your only use here is to either be ignored or scoffed at for being such an abject imbecile. I myself choose the latter because it’s more entertaining.

You aren't capable of committing logic, and you have no facts to support your case, so you resort to personal asttacks. That's all you have ever proven in this forum. I make one error, and you harp on it for 6 months. That shows how desperate, bitter and pathetic you are.

Clinton got what she deserved. She's the one who went wallowing in the sewer to rake up some spurned gold diggers to attack Trump, then all you petulant snowflakes cry when he throws it back in her face.

Anyone can make any kind of accusation. Intentionally falsified documents are fraud.

like the Dossier is. so why no outrage for that faked document?

Because the dossier is not completely fake. Parts of it have been confirmed by the FBI.

I keep hearing this, but none of you douchebag snowflakes can ever say which parts. That's because you know we would all laugh if you did.

LOLOL as if that’s your only error.

In fact, your post I responded to was even factually incorrect— there as not been just one person “botching” such a scandal, as you falsely claim.
