Conyers Fired Staffer for Refusing His Sexual Advances
BuzzFeed.com ^ | Nov 20th, 2017 | Paul McLeod

Michigan Rep. John Conyers, a Democrat and the longest-serving member of the House of Representatives, settled a wrongful dismissal complaint in 2015 with a former employee who alleged she was fired because she would not “succumb to [his] sexual advances.”

Documents from the complaint obtained by BuzzFeed News include four signed affidavits, three of which are notarized, from former staff members who allege that Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the powerful House Judiciary Committee, repeatedly made sexual advances to female staff that included requests for sexual favors, contacting and transporting other women with whom they believed Conyers was having affairs, caressing their hands sexually, and rubbing their legs and backs in public. Four people involved with the case verified the documents are authentic.

Why are these people not held to the same laws the rest of America? In the private sector, they’d be thrown out on their asses and possibly prosecuted. But in their world it’s all confidential, hush hush, with payoffs/bribes to make it all better. Business as usual.

Disgusting...glaring corruption with it’s own pay off, make it go away, credit union.

All I can say is, if I were a congressman who hadn't made payment of hush money, I wouldn't want to be smeared with the wide brush of suspicion.

“If you said, “Most are DemocRats”, you would be correct.”

What is up with that, anyway? It’s baffling.

Is DJT doing this?

What is baffling about it? They had the power, they knew it would be covered up by their palls in the media, so they abused their power. It is the way of the world.

Now they no longer have a monoply on media power. Their pals no longer control the narrative.

Simple, really.

Well I’ll be... The longest seated member of Congress, John Conyers, is just another old “horndog” like Weiner, Franken, and a host of other Democrats.

Gee, for the past 50 years I just thought he was a rough, tough Communist in a suit (actually a damned traitor if you track his career and Soviet contacts). now it turns out he’s just another commie pervert.

Wonder what all his adoring constituents think of him now? Well, maybe they will think he’s just another Mayor Marion Barry (DC Mayor and convict/crackhead For Life). Wouldn’t put it past him.

However, the Kremlin could lose their best man in Congress if he quits or is thrown out (not likely given how many other reds there are in the House - i.e. Progressive Caucus and much of the Congressional Black (Support your Bro even if he is a lecher, crook and commie) Caucus.

After all the CBC supported anti-Semite, communist, Castro/Arafat supporter Cynthia McKinney, now how Moslem subverters Keith Ellison and Andre Carson with them, and has, of course, besides nutty Maxine, the cowgirls of Sheila Lee Jackson and Frederica Wilson.

It’s like Freud’s worst nightmare - the insane asylum is being run by the inmates - and they all have the same hair as Waters.

For some of Conyers/Waters, etc. communist/Marxist records, go to www.keywiki.org and www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org to see what the mainstream media never reports about these two traitors and racists, and now, for one, a sexual predator.

#48. Looks more like Marshaun is taking a dump while eating a banana but he forgot to take his pants down. Slow learner or maybe too many head thumpings.

Poetic Justice would be if someone comes forward who received unwanted sexual advances from The Turtle. XD

White Russians? Conyers will need to make a Wellstone rally type appearance, with the Negro church choir singing his praise in order to extract his ass from this bear trap.

"constituents will still re-elect him." Average blacks in Michigan are so proud of Conyers...He drives around in Cadillac Escalades with every possible option, the suits, the shoes, the jewelry, the homes, etc...yet they still live in abject poverty. It's like they live precariously through him!

:: Just to insist that all whites are racists poisons the well ::

Which is why I always use it first when having a discussion with my SIL.

Hey, if “Mexican” can be a race, so can “conservative”.
