Given what’s going on with the Synagro thing, I think Conyers’ court time may already be spoken for :)
Heh.
After reading your comment, I was curious about developments on Synagro and this is what turned up. Last week's Detroit News story parading Conyers' wife Monica in her full glory, and writing about her in an odd juvenile style that mimics Conyers and her childish antics.
It's too ridiculous to be true, but it is! (With my emphases added)

Conyers, the wife of U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Detroit, accused the media of being what she called "Conyer-ized" and blaming her for everything.
"If it's raining outside and it's only raining in one spot, Monica Conyers made it happen," she said of the media. "It's always Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica. I guess they like my name."
Conyers also gave her side of a loud argument with Kenyatta last week that began over proposed budget cuts and escalated into shouting in a City Hall hallway.
Conyers told Darcell that she couldn't remember whether she insulted Kenyatta for having a GED or wearing a hearing aid, but said she was only inquiring about whether he was in failing health.
Conyers said the argument began when Kenyatta disrespected her, challenged her authority and turned his back on her while she was talking.
"Everyone wants to make Monica out to be this bad person, but I'm going to say this to Detroiters and I'm not going to say it again: I don't care who it is or what it is, I'm going to defend myself," Conyers told Darcell. "I love men. I have four brothers. My whole family is full of men ... But I am not, I am not going to tolerate disrespect of women by men."
Sources familiar with the argument said Kenyatta suggested Conyers needs mental health assistance and called her "Councilmember A," referring to an unnamed member of the panel referenced in federal documents as taking bribes in the Synagro Technologies Inc. sludge scandal.
