AP: "A former aide to Republican Rep. Trent Franks has told The Associated Press the congressman repeatedly pressed her to carry his child, at one point offering her $5 million to act as a surrogate."

Politico: "Arizona Rep. Trent Franks allegedly made unwanted advances toward female staffers in his office and retaliated against one who rebuffed him, according to House GOP sources with knowledge of a complaint against him." "...aides were concerned that Franks was asking to have sexual relations with them" and "A former staffer also alleged that Franks tried to persuade a female aide that they were in love."

No wonder Ryan walked him out the door. Wonder what his wife thinks of how he went about his? Especially noting his earlier explanation about knowing how these things worked and thought it was all okay for these discussions.

Paid for by taxpayers, and of course,
then the aids get become super-EXEMPT from ObamaCARE.

No wonder the GOP LOVES ObamaCARE keeping THEM EXEMPT,
alone above all others.

You believe "AP" and "Politico"?

Maybe they are right, but I do not automatically accept what these people say. There is too much "news" lying going on nowadays.

Meanwhile Drudge hasn’t posted one story about all the news of Mueller’s corrupt team this week. Nothing. And nothing on the Roy Moore fake yearbook, just anti Moore links.

Definition of surrogate mother

: a woman who becomes pregnant usually by artificial insemination or surgical implantation of a fertilized egg for the purpose of carrying the fetus to term for another woman

Maybe his wife couldn't bear children.

What a scumbag. He put his wife in the hospital with his stupidity. What a jerk. Glad Ryan forced him out. We don’t need nasty people like that in office. There is only 535 people in the Congress.....we certainly can find that little in a population of 330 million. Get rid of sexual predators, thieves, pedophiles, tax cheats, and so on. Remember we don’t need a single on of these jerks......535 good people is all we need.

“Franks had children conceived through in vitro fertilization with a donor egg, and carried by a surrogate.”

http://heavy.com/news/2017/12/josephine-franks-trent-surrogate-pregnancy/

Doesn’t sound like, “Have sex with me until you conceive...”

Um, my understanding is he was seeking a surrogate, not sex. Did new information come out that he was seeking sex?

$5 million just to be a surrogate? Not my eggs?

Please have Rep. Franks call me.

"...aides were concerned that Franks was asking to have sexual relations with them" and "A former staffer also alleged that Franks tried to persuade a female aide that they were in love."

I'm not quite as trusting as I'd like to be. Did the aides have reason for that interpretation, or were they leftists looking for a FedGov position who saw a way to take down a conservative?

Yeah, that’s a step beyond surrogate, which I also disapprove of anyway.

A former staffer also alleged that Franks tried to persuade a female aide that they were in love by having her read an article that described how a person knows they’re in love with someone, the sources said. One woman believed she was the subject of retribution after rebuffing Franks.

Doesn't sound much like looking for a surrogate.
