AP ^

Posted on 11/21/2017 7:31:54 AM PST by BusterDog

Longtime Michigan Rep. John Conyers has told The Associated Press that he hasn’t settled any sexual harassment complaints with any staff members.

Conyers, who answered the door at his Detroit home Tuesday morning, says he knows nothing about any claims of inappropriate touching and learned of the story just hours earlier.

Referring to allegations of sexual harassment and assault being made against politicians and others, the veteran lawmaker says he’s “been looking at these things with amazement.”

He’s using the Richard Pryor defense - deny, deny, deny. “Who you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?”

And when it burns hot enough it’s likely to destroy this secret settlement mechanism and it’s all going to be brought out into the sunshine in the future. No slush fund, no mandated confidentiality agreements, and not pretense that the member didn’t know what was going on.

Secret agreements do nothing to expose the evil for the protection of future victims.

Burn it all down.

LOL, it will be a matter of record. Poor Conyers, so many coming forward now. Once they lived in fear, but now they can come forward without fear and tell the truth about what is going on

He’s no doubt one of the congressmen who has his dementia drugs delivered to him at work. Of course, he doesn’t remember doing such a thing. Works for most dems! He probably doesn’t even remember taking medication for his condition. I believe he is the one who has been in the House the longest - time for him to GO!

“...he may not remember what he had today for breakfast.”

Booze & drugs will do that.

Because he didn’t settle it...it was settled by “his office” or by “the house of reps” etc...

He is confident that powerful people have also had these secret settlements and have a vested interest in keeping them secret.

The Democrats threw out the sexual harrasment net on Judge Moore hoping eventually to get the president. Instead they ended up ensnaring their whole party in it. This is hilarious. Conyers has no choice but to go to the race card to save himself. I think we’re all gonna run out of popcorn at this pace!

The conniving Conyers is using the patented proven Clinton defense.........

After willy got lewinskied, the Clintons first took a poll.

The poll told them they could get away with it as long as they denied, denied, denied for as long as possible.....then willy could confess.

Hillary actually setup a bimbo war room in the Old West Wing of the WH.....a dozen tax-paid factotums worked there for 8 years.

Their only tax-paid job was to shoot down Bill’s accusers.

It got him reelected....and saved Hillary’s political ***.

AP reporter showed up at Conyers locale, and he "opened the door". AP claims he denied settling any staff complaints but don't quote him saying that or anything else except for 7 words - "the veteran lawmaker says he’s “been looking at these things with amazement”. AP defines "lackey".

Liberals should have KNOWN better! It’s impossible to throw mud on someone and NOT get it on yourself!

However, it’s the whole “Women’s” movement thing….They have a real, scorched earth agenda and it all started with Hillary. She wanted in the WH SOOOOOOO badly she was going to do, say and BE whatever it took….

She’s not finished either…. If they have to dismantle the entire system to do it… it’s what they want to do Everyone and anything in the way will be demolished and the f*&^ing MSM stands around with their hands in their pockets AS IF it’s all good and should not be challenged OR reported on for what it is!!

What’s going in American politics right now are THE most remarkable and momentous events in our recent history and the MSM (supposedly the most professional, sentient and intelligent agency of our society) has basically rubber stamped all of it!!! They recognize NO issue or perspective worthy of even the slightest professional curiosity.

You’d think a ‘journalist’ worth the name would see the women’s scorched-earth agenda as a positively premier, career-making, most pure gold opportunity any journalist ever had the luck to cover. Not because it’s a ‘women’s agenda’ but because of its depth/lack of depth, etc.

We have to say ‘etc.’-because we know more about the farthest reaches of the universe than we do about this so called ‘women’s agenda’ and everything that goes along with it.

Why? Because no one will peoperly cover it… instead, ’journalists’ can’t get their brains out of their underpants! All so called reporting has been reduces to the most guttural BS and childish innuendo that it’s laughable. It can hardly BE called journalism. Pathetic!

Hell yeah! John Conyers is denying ever sexually harassing anyone or even settling any cases.

He has no idea what BuzzFeed has.

(Hint: Everything.)

He has probably already forgotten soiling his pants when Cernovich & BuzzFeed outed his lying horndog @ss last night...

This dude is 88 years old..ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF WHY WE NEED TERM LIMITS.

His wife was in prison so guess the dude got lonely..He always has been a slimy liberal.

These Congress Members who used tax dollars to cover up their ‘habits’ needs to reimburse the Government and be stripped of all Benefits due them and forced to step down.

It isn’t a settlement. Its remuneration for being discreet about sensitive government affairs. LOL
