Oh, there’s a certain poetic justice in Congressman Thomas Massie’s latest idea. He’s determined to dig deep and unearth all the gritty details of that $17 million sexual misconduct slush fund our esteemed lawmakers have been dipping into for eons now. You remember that scandal, right? Revolver brought that story back into the spotlight, thanks to the Alvin Bragg “hush money” sham. Isn’t it curious? All eyes were on President Trump over a so-called “hush money” payment that affected no American, yet nobody seemed to care about our own lawmakers using our hard-earned tax dollars to settle their sexual assault cases. Very curious, indeed.
Thanks to the relentless political targeting of President Trump, there’s been a spotlight on the use of “hush money” and secret funds to sweep indiscretions under the rug in politics. This shouldn’t come as a shock to many, given the nature of fame and power, but where do we draw the line? When is it acceptable for politicians to dip into taxpayer-funded slush funds to settle their sexual indiscretions privately and without fanfare, and when is it deemed unacceptable for a private political candidate to do the same with personal funds? Here’s the thing that’s got everyone scratching their heads: Trump’s stuck in this political circus over “hush money,” where they’re all too eager to drag him through the mud over what amounts to a flimsy misdemeanor at best.

Meanwhile, our elected officials are dipping into our tax dollars to clean up all their messes. Don’t forget revelations from a few years ago that Congress has its own secret slush fund of hush money—all courtesy of you, the hapless taxpayer. Funny how that works; it’s like one rule for them and another for everyone else.
Indeed, the Office of Congressional Compliance (OOC), which was set up to ensure compliance with the ludicrously named 1995 Congressional Accountability Act, controls a whole treasure chest of disputes involving congressional officials—not just congressional officials, in fact. You’ll be pleased to know that the Capitol Police, the Congressional Budget Office, and many other legislative groups get to wet their beaks in this slush fund as well. Recent reports have indicated that over $17 million has been used from this fund to take care of various “hush” projects on behalf of members of Congress and other agencies.

The most infamous sexual abuse case we do know about involves a now-deceased former high-falutin Democrat lawmaker from Michigan named John Conyers. This article is from 2017 and basically blew the lid off the secret “sexy slush fund.”
Mr. Conyers wasn’t paraded into court for using our tax dollars to quiet down a victim, was he? We’d love to do a little digging and see if any other lawmakers or federal employees got the same treatment as President Trump, but guess what? We don’t know the names of the federally employed folks who dipped into this congressional “hush money” honey pot.
What we’re witnessing in the United States is a prime example of peak corruption in action. Federal employees can get away with sexual assault left and right, and when they’re caught, the slush fund jumps into action to hush it up, no questions asked. And instead of these scumbags facing the music, it’s President Trump who’s under the microscope and being dragged through a sham political trial.
Shouldn’t we be more outraged over perverted lawmakers breaking the law and then quietly using our tax dollars to silence their victims—making sure we’re none the wiser? In any serious country, absolutely. But sadly, we’ve become a complete farce, all thanks to this tyrannical regime.
