This would be a law affecting how the House & Senate manage themselves, not a law that affects people at large. And it would affect only disclosure of information, not whether past actions would be punished. But because the people who participated in past investigations did so under the old rules, so yes, there's concern for the victims who may have assumed their identity would not be made public.

Please don’t quote Lisa Bloom any more. She went over to the dark side, shamed her awesome mom, and is DEAD to me.

says the canadian.

first of all, conyers is a rep, not a senator.

secondly, what we really lost was a viable single-payer bill.

conyers might have been a creeper, but part of this story was calculated by the GOP/pee party and Big Money™.

Short of credible witness or evidence, a great deal of this stuff is just nothing but he said she said. No matter the lurid detail or supposed credibility, believing the accuser and sanctioning punishment on that basis is, in the end, not good for anyone.

A blast from the past. How things change and yet stay the same.

James Henry Hammond (Nullifier Party - SC) U.S. Representative and later Senator,[19] engaged in a homosexual relationship with a college friend, pursued what he called "a little dalliance" with his teenage nieces, and had sexual relationships with female slaves including a girl aged 12.[20] The affair with his nieces became public in 1843, and forced Hammond to withdraw from his Senate bid in 1846, but he later became a U.S. Senator again in 1857.[21]

I got the feeling that they were suspicious of her, so they probably had someone keeping an eye on Veritas.

"We used to have one of you in you know in the White House. He was terrible, but I've made it better- horrible days when he was here."
