A test of Democrats honesty: Katie Hill edition

Normally the sexual problems of any politician shouldn't be news but given the constant attacks on Trump's consensual affairs and the fact that Democrat congresswoman Katie Hill appears to have broken the rules of the House the latest charges are fair game.

We don't need to discuss the salacious details but the key point is that she apparently had an affair with at least one person on her official office staff which is a violation of House rules; not to mention probably a clear case of sexual harassment.  Bosses who have power over subordinates are not supposed to have even consensual sexual relationships with them because of the obvious risk of the subordinate's "consent" being involuntary on some level.

If the Democrats who run the House, ie Pelosi, let Hill walk on this we will know that not only aren't they honest but that they really don't care about bosses sexually harassing subordinates and that the whole #MeToo movement isn't really supported by Democrats.

UPDATE: The House Ethics committee has started an investigation. It'll be interesting to see how it ends since the facts appear to be pretty clear.
