I posted this on Front Page because it happened yesterday but got lost in the deluge of Kavanaugh news.

Wow,

This is how typical democrats treat accusers, not as victims but enemies. It’ll be interesting to see how this comes out.

Watt is a former Democrat congesscritter and an Obama appointee. The sexual harassment occurred while Obama was president.

Clearly it is Trump’s fault.

Simone Grimes, a special adviser at FHFA, ...

Entirely unrelated to Ms. Grimes's harassment complaint, it is infuriating that there is such a job as "special adviser" and that there is such an agency as FHFA. There are thousands upon thousands of Federal employees like this, in agencies that do nothing but complicate citizens' lives, doing "jobs" that involve no actual work.

They are highly paid with excellent benefits, they are unionized, and they have lots of time on their hands to make sure that the Federal government grows ever more expensive and intrusive.

Ladies and gentlemen, This is how a legitimate claim of sexual harassment looks.

Some interesting background. Watt is the poster boy for the ‘progressive’ rats union with the banksters. I am sure Watt took this position, even though he could have been Congressman for life from his district, to ready himself for a jump to the big money as a bankster:

In 2009, fellow congressman Ron Paul reported to Bloomberg that while Paul’s bill HR 1207, which mandates an audit of the Federal Reserve, was in subcommittee, Watt had substantially altered the substance of the bill, a move which had “gutted” the bill’s protections.[24] According to Bloomberg News, on October 20, 2009, “The bill, with 308 co-sponsors, has been stripped of provisions that would remove Fed exemptions from audits of transactions with foreign central banks, monetary policy deliberations, transactions made under the direction of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and communications between the Board, the reserve banks and staff, Paul said today.” Paul said there is “nothing left” in the bill after Watt’s actions.[24]

Paul responded when he and Alan Grayson of Florida passed a competing amendment hours before the bill cleared the House Financial Services Committee to restore the bill’s original language and undo Watt’s attempts to weaken its effects. Watt won support from Chairman Barney Frank of Massachusetts and the Congressional Black Caucus, both of which backed his amendment. Eight of the ten Black Caucus members on the committee voted against the Paul-Grayson amendment. Watt and Frank voted to inhibit the bill’s approval. With pressure from the Congressional Black Caucus to delay consideration of the bill by the full House of Representatives, it is unclear when HR 1207 will face a final vote.[25]

The country’s largest bank Bank of America is headquartered in Charlotte in Watt’s congressional district and has threatened to leave. The Sunlight Foundation reported that 45% of Watt’s campaign contributions for 2009 are from corporations in the real estate, insurance and finance industries, the seventh-highest percentage of any member of Congress.[26][27] Watt’s largest contributors included American Express, Wachovia, Bank of America and the American Bankers Association.[28]
