Congress had a slush fund for this exact purpose.

This system grows out of a 1995 law, known as the Congressional Accountability Act,

Well according to the right wing nuts at CNN, the Office Of Compliance has paid $17 million to sexual harassment victims since its creation. That's taxpayer money.

WDMSO, please tell us, if Trumps payoff to his mistress is legally a campaign contribution, why aren't the payouts from the office of compliance, also a campaign contribution? Please explain the difference?



Also, if Trump buys toothpaste or gets a haircut, does he need to disclose that money as a self-financed campaign contribution? Is everything that impacts appearance or image, now a campaign contribution that must be disclosed?
