It came out of taxpayers’ contributions, either way, it seems.

I think settlement claims paid out of office accounts are illegal.

If his constituents don’t care, then why should anyone else?

I wonder if she is that pretty, young black girl that Laura Ingraham interviewed about two weeks ago. The young girl said that she was harassed by members of the congressional black caucus.

And let's not forget that the missus went to prison for taking bribes.

She was ‘staff’ and she was ‘paid’.

Just a little bit more than everyone else.

End of story.................B^)

Only because he wanted to diddle an employee who worked for a temporary employment agency? She wasn’t a federal employee.

Ultimately it came from US citizens instead of from the pocket of the scum-bag politician himself.

His WIFE was put in jail for taking bribes while on the Detroit City Council, and his constituents didn't care then, either.

People like Conyers and Joe Barton WOULD BE FIRED if they worked jobs like the rest of us. Same for Al Franken.

We need to START FIRING ALL THESE SWAMPRATS!

You just know O’Connell and Ryan are on deck. It is just a matter of time until they are exposed and their masks ripped off in public. Tick, tock...

I just remembered that there were some inconsistencies in the filing of signatures for Conyers to run for office one or two elections ago.

A judge gave Conyers a pass. IIRC, wasn't there an Pubbie OH or MI congresscritter that didn't get the same consideration four or five cycles ago?
