FACT CHECK: Did Congress Use a 'Slush Fund' to Pay $17 Million to Women They Sexually Harased?

Does everyone remember this little gem?

Now that the Swamp wants to destroy Donald, they are unknowingly sowing the seeds for their own ruin.

Congress used about $17 million dollars of US taxpayer money to silence women who had been sexually assaulted by the said Congressmen. And yes, this was in order to win more elections, which they always do.

The only difference between that and what Trump did is, Trump did not sexually assault anyone, nor did he use taxpayer money to do it.
 
Did you even read your own link, that said that this claim is false?

Although there is a U.S. Treasury fund devoted to paying settlements, it is not a “slush fund” which implies it is secret and utilized for illicit purposes. The fund is administered by the Office of Compliance (OOC), which was established in 1995 with the Congressional Accountability Act and is used for the payment of awards and settlements. The OOC is overseen by the House Administration and Senate Rules committees.

Unlike a “slush fund” which would be off the books, the fund is a line item and every year its activity can be viewed by the public in Treasury reports — for example money laid out from the fund in Fiscal Year 2016 can be viewed here under “Awards and Settlements, Office of Compliance.” In FY 2016 the fund paid out a total of $491,733.97.

Do you always get stuck on useless technicalities and completely ignore the real situation on the basis of your ignorance?

The total amount doesn't tell us exactly what Congressmen committed what acts of Sexual Harassment or who the victims are.

And MORE IMPORTANTLY, these amounts were not reported on the offending congresspeople's federal campaign financing reports, even though keeping it quiet was a help to their campaign. It is a felony if the congressman did not put this on their form, and they need sent to prison.

Nothing to see here.

The DOJ is better served finding more Trump bimbos.
 
Hey DOJ, how about that private meeting Bill Clinton had with the head of the DOJ when they were investigating Bill's wife?

Nothing to see here other than Putin whores

So did you fail to read this?

The meme is false — the money isn’t paid from an illegal “slush fund.” It’s unknown how much of the $17 million total over the last 20 years went to sexual harassment claim settlements

You Ok with that?

I intentionally chose a news source he could not refute as fake.

Now his colors are for all to see.
 
To be fair, they are 2 different issues. IF Trump used campaign funds to pay them off, he should be properly fined and whatever else they do for punishment.
If he didnt, who gives a flying fuck? Its SEX ffs
