Dear History members: In February, 2010, History boards will begin the process of upgrading our community message board software. We are moving to a new community software, KickApps, that will provide greater functionality and ease of use. This transition will take place during the last part of February; the last day that the current boards will be available to you will be Feb. 28, 2010. We realize that many of you have posted great content over the years and might want to save your posts. Please take this time to go back through the boards and save what you want to keep on your own computer. These boards will no longer be accessible after February 28, 2010. If you would like to ask a question about the new boards, click here: http://boards.history.com/forum/Message-Boards-User/108 There will be more details to come as we roll out the new community software. Thank you for your continued patronage. We'll see you on the new, improved boards! Rebecca Cooper AETN Community Manager

Not quite. Barney Franks live-in lifepartner at the time was the one involved in the prostitution ring.
Barney never knew a thing about it. How do we know that? He said so.

The Sermon on the Mount doesn't justify prostitution rings, whether or not those involved in them are aware of them or not...

Sure Harry sure!
As the homeowner IT WAS FRANK'S RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED UNDER HIS ROOF!
This "I didn't know" is absurd!

Well then so is everyone else, Forrest; as you've been told multiple times before, the House Ethics Committee cleared Frank of any wrongdoing in the matter of the esc*ort service. What they censured him for was for using his position in Congress to help Steven Gobie end his probation, and also fix 33 parking tickets.
As for the alleged prostitution ring, you have also been told that Frank ASKED that the ethics committee investigate the allegations, and here's what they concluded:
Based upon information obtained under subpoena and sworn testimony, the Committee concludes that the weight of the evidence indicates that Representative Frank did not have either prior or concomitant knowledge of prostitution activities involving third parties alleged to have taken place in his apartment. ... Representative Frank's landlords ... submitted sworn testimony contradicting Mr. Gobie's assertion. ... The Committee, therefore, further concludes that no further action is warranted.
Now, you have been told all of this before, Forrest; why do you continue to lie about it now? Are you too stupid to be a poster on this board, or are you just a mental case?

Actually, we know it because the House Ethics Committee, investigating the matter at the request of Barney Frank, said so:
Based upon information obtained under subpoena and sworn testimony, the Committee concludes that the weight of the evidence indicates that Representative Frank did not have either prior or concomitant knowledge of prostitution activities involving third parties alleged to have taken place in his apartment. ... Representative Frank's landlords ... submitted sworn testimony contradicting Mr. Gobie's assertion. ... The Committee, therefore, further concludes that no further action is warranted.

Frank also knew it was going on long before he did anything about it. He was fixing parking tickets and other misdemeanors for his lovers "employees".
The man is a low life, if he was a Republican you would be denouncing him, as we all should be.
Craig should step down, so should Frank.

Gosh, Jasser...then you must have some source of info that the House Ethics Committee was not privy to when they censured Frank for using his influence to help ONLY Steven Gobie. Please give us a cite for this further information.

How very Freudian. "...if he was a Democrat you would be denouncing him, as we all should be..." Well, he IS a Democrat. He paid his price. And your instance that we ALL should denounce him seems to be predicated more on the fact that he is a Democrat than because of anything else. Thank you for reinforcing a suspicion that I've had for a long time.
> Craig should step down, so should Frank.

First of all the Press controls who is in the Press Room NOT THE WHITE HOUSE! The Press would go nuts if the White House interferred with the selection process for any reasons other than the Security of the President! (and even then they'd probably whine)
Funny that nobody at the White House was charged with anything like what you claim there! No charges mean innocent!

If a tree falls in a forest and nobody is around to hear it fall, does it make a sound?

OOPS I'm busted, I meant if the guy was a Republican.
It was on the record that Frank had been fixing parking tickets and pulling strings to cover for his squeeze
