She announced that she's going to resign.
Meaning that, yes, she did bang staffer Graham Kelly (as well as campaign worker Morgan Desjardines), and knew she would be dead in the water eventually anyway.

Honestly, it's kinda bullshit that she's playing victim here.
She's going on about a "smear campaign", but unless the "smears" are false, then she really only has herself to blame.
Her ex-husband is no angel, and I'm sure the guy is a complete asshole, but the bottom line is that Katie had a relationship with a campaign staffer AND a current Congressional staff member of hers, and she can't blame that on her ex.
This apology would have been better if it were short and sweet, apologized for her missteps, and ended there.
too bad she's leaving...she has a great looking ass

Now that she's leaving, maybe you'll see even more of her ass on wifesharing sites.Originally Posted by GrenadaRoger
Great work guys, now, on to Trump!
Her career is effectively over. I mean, not just politics, but she will be a cashier at Walmart in a couple years and that is as good as it will get unless she can make a quick payday on the whole revenge porn lawsuit. She will have her 15 minutes of going on The Vjew, Bill Mahr and the likes but that will only last a couple months. She literally was set up for life for being a CAL congresswoman in a leadership role that Pelosi gave her. Now she is a laughing stock.
She was a waitress before this, and her husband was a waiter. That's where they met. This was like 10 years ago when they were both in their early 20s.
The husband never went to college, never held a steady job, and basically sponged off of her. They did live in his family's house, though.
She probably felt like her husband was a trashy loser, and that the girl was immature and needy (you can already get an idea of both of these things just from reading the released texts.)
This Graham Kelly guy was probably educated and more sophisticated than both of them, and she probably felt he was more on her level. She likely saw moving to DC to be a Congresswoman was like a new start, and basically ditched her old life. That's why her "coldness" to her husband and the girl started weeks after getting elected. Of course, she was supposedly already banging Graham 6 months before that.
Anyway, despite all the victimhood rhetoric, she was banging two staffers in a short period of time, and you can't do that shit nowadays and stay in Congress, especially after the new rules were put in place last year. These mistakes were her own, and even though her husband blew the whistle vindictively, the bottom line is that she mainly has herself to blame.
Could someone post the non blurred nudes or a link thereto? TIA
Well, the sad thing is that here was someone with ordinary middle class origins who achieved something remarkable but will not be able to harvest the full reward of that accomplishment. Her mom was a nurse, her dad a policeman, and she grew up in Santa Clarita -- a desert-like LA suburb for those modestly ok moneywise...its not like she had a dad who was a doctor, a stay-a-home mom and lived in an affluent beachside community.
She does have a BS in English & a MS in Public Administration from a Cal State Univ Northridge. She was doing social work as an executive in some organization servicing the homeless--I've never heard of the organization btw.
Agree with Druff it seems she outgrew her deadbeat husband.She's in her baby fever years, and wisely decided the deadbeat wasn't good mating material...so I can understand her being seed hungry.
The good thing for her is her circumstance has changed, and her soon to be ex will get smaller alimony because of the resignation.

She's such a slut this isn't surprising.

So it looks to me like she's going to reinvent herself as some sort of activist against "revenge porn"?
Which is stupid, because again, she wasn't a victim here.
It's not like her husband and right wing blogs released sexual photos of her simply for the sake of humiliating her. These photos were released as part of a greater story that she had a sexual relationship with two staffers in a very short period of time!
She can't keep glossing over this fact. It's nowhere near the same as a private citizen whose boyfriend/husband releases sexual pics of her (which I agree is despicable) or even a female politician who is intimidated/humiliated by photos of her sex life (again, which I agree is despicable).
While vindictively released by her trashy ex-husband, the photos were nevertheless a look into her misbehavior involving one of her campaign workers. They also give some context to the second set of allegations that she also had an affair with a staffer (which is against House rules).
When you're in politics, especially a high profile position like Congress, you give up some of your right to privacy. That's the nature of the beast. While your life doesn't have to be pristine, your violations of the rules and the law is amplified and examined in the public eye. The throuple wouldn't have mattered if it didn't involve a campaign staffer -- one who was still being paid by her campaign as recently as September 2019. The fact that the throuple allegedly ended because she moved on to a new staffer is even more disturbing.
Someone who has spoken out about #MeToo issues on social media should have known better. I'm not saying she's a horrible person, but she made some pretty major mistakes in a short period of time, and just isn't fit to serve in Congress anymore, especially in 2019. This problem is of her own doing, and she should just take responsibility for her mistakes and go away.
So Druff everything you say here also means you believe Trump isn't fit for office?
Since the Prez should be held to even higher standards than Congress?
Too much whataboutism going on in this entire situation.
Trump has lots of issues, obviously, but he isn't accused of doing the same thing as Katie Hill, so why even bother discussing this?
Also, her message is so strange, because it's basically saying, "I've been abused by my ex-husband, I've been violated, I'm going to fight so no women can be victimized by this again.... and.... I'm resigning from Congress."
Huh? Wouldn't her fight against this for "other women" be more effective as a Congresswoman?
Clearly such a fighter wouldn't resign if she hadn't done anything wrong, or if her transgressions were minor enough to where she would survive an ethics probe.
It's obvious to me that she's resigning because she knows that the ethics probe would have delved into the matter with Graham Kelly, and found that she was directly in violation of the 2018 House rule against relationships with staffers. Add that to the relationship she already acknowledged with the female campaign worker, and she realized she would have been kicked from Congress anyway (or been highly pressured to resign).
So basically she's just resigning before any of that can happen, and playing victim. Not a good look. If you're really the victim, don't resign and prove your innocence.
Right, the accusations against him are much worse.Too much whataboutism going on in this entire situation.
Trump has lots of issues, obviously, but he isn't accused of doing the same thing as Katie Hill, so why even bother discussing this?
Maybe her legal team has a plan to sue Daily Mail for publishing "revenge porn," and getting ahead of the story portraying herself as the victim is Step 1 of that plan. I think we sometimes move to fast to attribute ulterior motives to make a good narrative, when the real motive is a lot more banal and less interesting.
Wow Druff....
I have had Issues with credit cards in Europe
But what about her taxes.
