Congressman John Conyers Jr has had a very rough week, his wife, a member of the Detroit City Council pleaded guilty Friday to a felony charge of conspiracy to commit bribery, not only did she have to resign her office but she faces up to five years in prison. She was also implicated in another potential bribery case involving a controversial deep injection waste well near Romulus. Here is the coincidence, in 2003 and 2004, before Monica Conyers was elected, John Conyers and his staff raised environmental concerns about the well project.
Monica Conyers' former aide, Sam Riddle, told The Detroit News in a recent interview that Monica Conyers referred Detroit businessman Jim Papas to him, and Riddle gave her half of the $20,000 he received. John Conyers, D-Detroit, signed a supportive letter for Papas' injection well company, Environmental Geo-Technologies, even though his staff had spoken against such wells at public hearings, when another company was backing a similar plan.
At the very least, this project smells of impropriety:

Does it matter in today's world?
With a monopoly on every branch of government and the media, as long as you have a "D" after your name there is very little that federal level politicians will be held accountable for.
Captain Obvious ....please pick up the white courtesy phone.
Surprise headline in The Washington Post: "After Call From Senator's Office, Small Hawaii Bank got U.S. Aid"
Sen. Daniel K. Inouye had invested a bulk of his wealth in this bank, and sure enough he made sure the bank got aid.
Simple rule of thumb....If you are a democrat, and are from Detroit, you are corrupt......period
I wonder if they let him rape and sell little 5 year old black boys? We'll never know from our "press". The guy gets a pass.
Eff you New York Times.
The end doesn’t come until he is exonerated because he belongs to two protected groups.
Of course Conyers is involved. He is the founder of the CBC, a completely corrupt body in congress who got elected by ACORN. Conyers is at the top of the stinking heap of corruption. ACORN tells him what to do, he does it. He tells ACORN what to do they do it. He funnels money, Federal TAX dollars to ACORN, who then helps his wife get elected. Of course Conyers is corrupt.
There has to be more.
Why did Monica Conyers take a guilty plea? That’s not like a democrat. The FBI has been investigating Kwame Kilpatrick, Monica Conyers and others along with the Wayne County prosecutor.
Where there’s smoke there’s fire. Local press has nothing to the effect ‘the investigation is over.’
It’s the ‘Rat Crime Syndicate, Detroit/Wayne County McNamara/Kilpatrick branch. It includes Jenny Grantheft (D) - Governor, Mike Cox (R) - Attorney General...see no, hear no, speak no evil participants/enablers.
Thanks to Detroit’s “real” reporters (print and tv) for exposing these criminals, Kym Worthy for prosecuting King Kwame, and the feds for nabbing Monica Conyers.
Tip-of-the-iceberg BUMP!
Duh!
It doesn’t matter, because in King Coleman’s fair city of Det-rot, all you have to do to be elected to anything is prove that you’re the blackest candidate. The ignorance of the citizenry and the race baiting of the local politicians make it so that you don’t need to be honest or qualified to win elected office. You just need to convince the voters that you are what stands between them and Whitey who wants nothing less than to take away their government check and put them back in shackles. I know it sounds ugly, but unfortunately it’s beyond true.
