(Worthy News) - Rep. Raul M. Grijalva quietly arranged a “severance package” in 2015 for one of his top staffers who threatened a lawsuit claiming the Arizona Democrat was frequently drunk and created a hostile workplace environment, revealing yet another way that lawmakers can use taxpayer dollars to hide their misbehavior on Capitol Hill.

While the Office of Compliance has been the focus of outrage on Capitol Hill for hush-money payouts in sexual harassment cases, the Grijalva payout points to another office that lawmakers can use to sweep accusations under the rug with taxpayer-funded settlements negotiated by the House Employment Counsel, which acts as the attorney for all House offices.

The employment counsel negotiated a deal for taxpayers to give $48,395 — five additional months’ salary — to the female aide, who left her job after three months. She didn’t pursue the hostile workplace complaint further. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More...) ]

Grijalva is a traitor to this country anyway and has long needed to resign. But he is from the extreme liberal part of arizona so he is the darling of liberals. 

Why is he a traitor? He has repeatedly put the interests of illegals above the interests of his constituents. It is as if he was elected to represent illegals and not us citizens. This is based on news items over the years he has been an arizona politician.
