Stuff out here or some way of vetting these allegations? >> what weve seen is a snowball effect. it started with weinstein and it has kept going since then. there is a long list at this point. but i do see some reasons for hope. for instance, after the conyers allegations surfaced, you had representative ron desantis of florida introduce legislation calling the conyers rule which would bar congressmen from using taxpayer funds to hide their sexual mistakes to stop them from using taxpayer funds ...

They are hard at work at this hour away from their loved ones on the holiday, working to protect us. so i think we should take safety and solace in that. i have to say, our thoughts and prayers go out to the navy officials who were lost at sea in that plane crash off of the coast of asia and i have been on planes like that. its a tough ride and its a situation where we have to hasnt it to those navy officials who conduct that harrowing rescue. >> we have a special segment on that in tonights bro...

Good evening from new york. im chris hayes. one day after getting a de facto endorsement from the president, roy moore is in trouble in alabama. polls show the sexual misconduct allegations against moore, which include alleged sexual assault and molestation of teenagers are having an impact on his bid to be alabamas next u.s. senator. moore now statistically tied with his democratic opponent, doug jones, in a deep red state that donald trump won by almost 30 points. just before the allegations w...

Harassed. and i think its important for the stories we have been covering about harassment and assault that we not confuse the two when were discussing them because it muddies the water and everything becomes -- not that it should be but the danger long term is everything becomes a he said, she said. those are the kind of things that john conyers, who keeps denying allegations and saying im not going to resign, and the same thing of roy moore, republican from alabama, denies all allegations. im ...

Action. what do you we know about that. >> reporter: well, hes very vague on this point for us. we only know what he said on that radio show, which frankly isnt backed up at all. he said theyre looking for any evidence to potentially take legal action against the accusers. and of course we know hes threatened to take legal action against "the washington post" who first broke this stor e. but he wouldnt address any specifics at all, and frankly, not sure how serious that claim is. >> now, sunlen,...

About who has been along the way that has swept this under the rug. >> and what about this $17 million and the complaints. why dont we know who those settlements were against? >> because speaker ryan needs to say release the names. that is all that needs to happen. >> im on another mission, joe. is that all its going to take. >> weer know the payments were made and the number in terms of people soo all that takes is the speaker of the house to go ahead with that. but think about where we are now...

These allegations of harassment and to listen to accusers. i would argue it is important for the president to speak out on this but to have a clear message. can we get that? >> first of all, happy thanksgiving. >> happy thanksgiving. >> such an important issue. i was listening to the show is a few minutes ago. i think chris was bringing up the comment that each on case is different. that is one of the things we have learned in the process that each of the victims deserve both honor and respect. ...

>> melissa: the presidency has had his own accusers. thats the problem. when he goes out and talks about that and you bring it up. it brings to mind his own accusers. how do you respond that to that? >> many of those accusers, if not awful them have been debunked. president trump denied it. he never settled a lawsuit with any of these accusers the way that, lets say, harvey weinstein did. i would just say i personally saw one of those accusers very teary eyed on air and a moment later asked for ...

On the stories in which they investigate. but i think, mr. halverson alludes to some very serious issues here about conflicts of interest. look, conflicts of interest dont have to be disqualifying for a journalist. but if you are a journalist and you worked for fusion on, lets say some entirely separate project and then you are reporting on thehe house intelligence committee in september of this year, in october of this year, when its entirely about fusion gps, you owe it to the -- to your media...

Reevaluation. congresswoman jackie spier has introduced a bill that would overhaul the process. i think whats apparent as you mentioned is that its so convoluted that it provides no incentive for women or anyone who faced sexual harassment on capitol hill to come forward and put forth a complaint. its inheritly designed not just to silence the accusers but to make it look like, for example, when its settled, there was no wrongdoing. if you look at the conyers, it looks like the payments that wer...
