In reply to the discussion: Clinton says she spoke to staffer who accused top adviser of harassment [View all]helmedon1974
(92 posts)blowing nuts over here. The woman in question never made a public complaint. She was promoted, basically, and transferred to another post. Perfectly common in a situation like this, mainly because co-workers can and do give accusers a hard time for "snitching" on a co-worker, regardless of the offense. Disgusting, but it happens.
As for the accused, I'll play devil's advocate. Did he admit the allegations were true? Were there witnesses? I don't know, I'm not really interested enough to find out since the situation was clearly resolved to the alleged victim's satisfaction. The accused was punished within existing standards for harassment. Docked pay and forced into counselling. Were there further incidents with the guy within the 2008 campaign? I haven't heard. He apparently was hired by someone else several years later, and some here take issue with it? Was it for an official campaign? DNC? I'm looking at 8 years after the fact. Are there further allegations connected to Clinton or her campaign?
What are the issues here, that he wasn't fired? That's pretty common too, especially back then. Firing someone without proof (I honestly don't know if there was) will get you in trouble. It doesn't sound to me that the victim is complaining. Point me to her complaints if she has.
