Gillian Grannum – I wrote Congress concerning the $17 million slush fund used to pay off victims of sexual misconduct by Congressmen.

Guess what? These self-serving degenerates figured out a way to both pretend they are following strict procedures to correct miscreant behavior while hiding sexual misconduct behind a screen of MULTIPLE issues.

That’s right.

According to Senator Thom Tillis [R-NC]  they cannot reveal the names of these low life perpetrators of sexual crimes against women, page boys and various underlings because they are all in a protected pot under control of the “Office of Compliance” (OOC) that handles more than just sex crimes.

Here is the salient paragraph:

The CAA [Congressional Accountability Act] also established the OOC, which is an independent office responsible for enforcing and administering provisions in the CAA. It was recently reported that there were 268 settlements paid out over a 20 year period, totaling more than $17 million dollars by the OOC to settle work related issues through a fund within the United States Treasury. Settlements include employment matters such as discrimination, overtime, and Family Medical Leave Act complaints. Due to the reporting practices of the OOC, it is unclear how many settlements were paid out relating to a specific issue.

This self-serving, hypocritical, sweeping under a rug of “multiple issues” must be stopped. It is unacceptable and unethical for law makers to use the system to protect themselves from consequences of law breaking.

It is unconscionable for swamp/sewer lowlifes to create EXEMPTIONS for themselves and their staff when they enact onerous laws governing the populace as a whole – ex. OBAMA “SCREW YOU” INSURANCECARE- while they and their staffers enjoy perks above and beyond those provided in the legislation.

Here is the full text of Senator Tillis’ response:

Dear Dr. Grannum

Thank you for taking the time to contact me about settlements paid out by the Office of Compliance (OOC). I appreciate hearing from you.

As you may know, Congress passed the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 (CAA), which requires Congress and legislative branch entities to follow many of the same employment and workplace safety laws applied to private business and the rest of the federal government. The CAA also outlines a specific dispute resolution process for legislative branch entities. This multistep process includes counseling and mediation. If counseling and mediation sessions are unsuccessful, an employee may choose to proceed with an administrative hearing or file suit in Federal District Court. A person can dispute the outcome of the case through an appeal or review. If an employee prevails in a case, the hearing officer, Board of Directors, or federal court may order monetary awards and other appropriate remedies.

The CAA also established the OOC, which is an independent office responsible for enforcing and administering provisions in the CAA. It was recently reported that there were 268 settlements paid out over a 20 year period, totaling more than $17 million dollars by the OOC to settle work related issues through a fund within the United States Treasury. Settlements include employment matters such as discrimination, overtime, and Family Medical Leave Act complaints. Due to the reporting practices of the OOC, it is unclear how many settlements were paid out relating to a specific issue.

I believe any allegations of misconduct in the workplace must be taken seriously, and people who do not follow set policies need to be held accountable. I consider congressional oversight one of my most important duties as a U.S. Senator and will certainly utilize this authority when I see taxpayer dollars being abused. Please know, I will be carefully monitoring this situation.

Again, thank you for taking the time to contact me. Please do not hesitate to contact me again about other important issues.

Sincerely,

Thom Tillis
U.S. Senator
