Eric Massa to retire amid allegations he sexually harassed a male staffer

Charles Martel said:
No but, his position on this Massa matter is secret, huh? Wonder what Barney thinks of all this......allegations of male staffers stuff?

Can you believe they continue to elect this absolute liar and criminal. Anyone else hires a prostitute in the House or Senate and they are DONE. Fried.

The fact that Frank still sits in that House seat says everything that needs to be said about Democrats. None of this scandal or sexual misconduct upsets them in the least, they merely use it for political gain. As they do most issues of outrage. Casper the Friendly Ghost transparence.

while overseeing fannie and fred in the house, barney's newest boyfirend, herb moses (a dignified gentleman more the congressman's age), was an exec for fannie (the bank), which made for another embarrassing conflict for mr frank

Barney Frank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In 2003, while the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee, Frank opposed a Bush administration proposal for transferring oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from Congress and the Department of Housing and Urban Development to a new agency that would be created within the Treasury Department. The proposal reflected the administration's belief that Congress "neither has the tools, nor the stature" for adequate oversight. Frank stated, "These two entities...are not facing any kind of financial crisis.... The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing."[48] The two companies, which together own or back more than half the home mortgages in the US became "hobbled" by loan defaults.[49] Frank clarified in 2009 that Fannie and Freddie were not in crisis at the time and many financial institutions, like Lehman Brothers, also fell into crisis from 2003 to 2008.[50]

Conservative groups criticized Frank for campaign contributions totaling $42,350 between 1989 and 2008. They claim the donations from Fannie and Freddie influenced his support of their lending programs, and say that Frank did not play a strong enough role in reforming the institutions in the years leading up to the Economic crisis of 2008.[51][52] Frank's former partner, Herb Moses, was an executive at Fannie from 1991 to 1998, where Moses helped develop many of Fannie’s housing and home improvement lending programs. In 1991, Frank pushed for reduced restrictions on two- and three-family home mortgages. During the time that Frank was in a relationship with Moses, he blocked tougher regulations on the banking companies while voting for the Government Sponsored Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1991 and the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992.[53] Frank and Moses' relationship ended around the same time Moses left the company.[54]

I have. The DC madam thing I believe, his phone number was found on one of her lists.

And if she was allowed to prostitute out of the home Vitter owned and then Dave tried to explain to you and I that he had no knowledge....you wouldn't be lol-ing...you'd be calling for his ouster.

Spare me your pretend objectivity, liblady.:roll:

Basically it was "I didn't know"

And that's what he said just recently as well.

BOSTON (FOX25, myfoxboston) - FOX25 has learned that Congressman Barney Frank was present during a marijuana arrest at James Ready's home in Ogunquit, Maine. Ready is well-known for his relationship with Congressman Frank.

According to a police report, police charged Ready with marijuana possession, cultivation and use of drug paraphernalia in August of 2007. Ready admitted to civil possession and paid a fine. The remaining charges were dismissed in 2008.

Sources tell FOX25 that when Frank was questioned he told police that he did not live in the house and that he only smoked cigars.

Congressman Frank tells FOX25 that he was surprised and disappointed with what police found. He also tells us that he wouldn't recognize a marijuana plant if he saw one because he is, "not a great outdoorsman," and ,"wouldn't recognize most plants." ( Listen to Congressman Frank's full audio to the left.)

What was proved what that his roomy at the time did it, and he said he knew nothing about it. Kind of like when a friend of his got caught growing pot while Barney was visiting, and he said he was shocked and knew nothing of it. Pattern?
