I appreciate this story but was really hoping it would be on John Conyer himself. That bastard needs to be kicked out of this country ASAP.

I guess I will take what I can get.

This is great news, but one could expect it. Her husband is a loon, and a cult hero among the far far left loons. They are traditionally hypocrites ya know.

yep. for my money, the woman exemplifies typical urban government- scatterbrained and incompetent, bizarre, halfbaked political agendas and all... if you get my drift.

undoubtedly why Detroit is the cesspool it is.

It's time to play "PICK YOUR LAMEASS EXCUSE!"

"It was a misunderstanding!"
"It was an accounting error!"
"A staff member was advising me!
"I did not understand what the word "bribe" means!"
"A Congressman from Louisiana told me it would be OK if I kept the money in the freezer!"
"Its a racist conspiracy to keep a Sista down!"

If any of you have not watched this video in its entirety, I would recommend you do so. The little girl who chastised Mrs. Conyers is remarkable!! It is heartening to see a free thinker with a solid moral compass amongst our youth. Watch it!!!

Who could have guessed?????

Detroit, Politician, Black with an electorate of >80% black!

If it ISN’T about race, then what is it??

Is it an African Cultural thing?
Is it hereditary Tribal loyalty?
Is it in the DNA?
Is it a revolution of the deprived and depraved underclass?

Whatever it is —— Blacks are CLEARLY ignoring MLK Jr’s admonition to judge and be judged by one’s character and not the color of one’s skin.

If Blacks ignore that and persistently vote the Black Ticket, what possible defense is there to save the Republic from the abundance of scalawags they vote into city, county, state and federal office???

I bet the majority of his and her constituents probably consider it taking money from “whitey” and therefore it is fair game.

This is appalling. I can imagine Conyers telling her staff to find out who that child’s parents are and see that they suffer. That woman is consumed with hatred.

As further evidence of the Detroit media’s bias and borderline complicity in the crimes being perpetrated by their “political leaders”:

NO WHERE in the article do they mention the fact that EVERYONE one involved is a DEMOCRAT, NOR do they mention that this corrupt whore is the wife of the Socialist/Marxist Congresscritter Conyers!!!

Those are NOT minor facts to be ignored in an article such as this — and you can bet your hairy white ass that had these been Republicans, EVERYTHING would have been noted.

Detroit has become America’s Zimbabwe.
It can NOT be corrected so long as miscreants, welfare leaches, criminals, dysfunctional addicts and illiterates retain the vote.

This is going to go deep. This is all connected to Team Kilpatrick selling off parcels of City owned land, cheap, to outside “investors”. “Investors”, made up of family and friends of Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick (Democrat). In fact, one of these investment companies has Bernard Kilpatrick, Kwame’s Dad, on the board. The land is sold cheap to “Investors” who then turn around and resell at higher prices.

Keep an eye on this scandal. It has legs...legs that tie in Conyers and Governor Jennie Granholm (Also a Democrat)

Know you know why Michigan is in the crapper.

As always, one can predict they will come out smelling like roses with the constituents there. They are mere victims in the parade of accusations to the people there that control the plurality of votes in Michigan.

Methinks none of this stuff goes anywhere beyond some jagged news stories here and there.

Mildred Gaddis has this girl on her Detroit Talk Show one morning for over an hour.

What an articulate amazing young women and back handedly it make Monica Conyers look like an even bigger fool.

My fear this Sludge deal on top off all the other scandals will kill all chances of an expanded Cobo Hall and we loose the North American International Auto Show.

Worst housing market in the nation, 20 month housing supply, the Big 3 are hurting and now this....

We here in Michigan are so screwed by these buffoons, no one wants to do business in MI because of so many reasons, but the corruption will be the last nail in our economic coffin......
