Of Course: Allegations of a Pattern of Sexual Harassment and Actual Rape at the DOJ, and of Course All the Attendant Cover-Ups

Nothing but straight-arrow professionals who eat, drink, and piss justice.

"They Allowed It": A Justice Department Employee Said She Was Raped By A Senior Official. New Documents Show A Pattern Of Harassment At The Department. Documents and interviews reveal new details about a pattern of sexual harassment by a senior Justice Department official, and what the department did -- and did not do -- in the year since he resigned.

WASHINGTON — In December 2018, the Justice Department’s inspector general dropped a bombshell: Investigators had “substantiated” allegations that a senior DOJ official was a repeat sexual harasser.

The official, who had retired by that point, harassed five women under his chain of command, the inspector general announced. One woman reported that she was not only harassed, but also sexually assaulted. Another woman reported that she was pressured into having sex to get a promotion.

Few details were available at the time. The inspector general's summary of the investigation was barely two pages.

But now BuzzFeed has gotten hold of the full report, and it's filled with previously-unreported allegations.

The Deep State is a guild that protects even rapists. Once you're in, you're in.
