Monica Conyers, the wife of the powerful chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., pleaded guilty to one count of bribery in a federal court in Detroit, this morning.
According to court documents, in late 2007, Mrs. Conyers, president pro tem of the Detroit City Council, twice accepted envelopes filled with cash, once in the parking lot of a Detroit McDonalds.
Mrs. Conyers faces up to 5 year in prison, three years supervised release and/or a $250,000 fine. Calls to an attorney for Mrs. Conyers were not immediately returned.
Jackson was working as a consultant for Synagro which won the $1.2 Billion contract to remove sludge from the city's water treatment plants. The contract was awarded in 2007.

This case focuses around dealings with Detroit businessman Rayford Jackson who pleaded guilty on Monday to giving $6,000 to a member of the Detroit City Council to help steer a wastewater treatment contract to Synagro Technologies.
Living up to the name - Con-Yours.
She probably thought it was o.k. since all the other Democrats seem to be taking bribes. My how quickly the flaws have shown up and exposed the crooks that hold office with a (D) after their name.
She slugged a woman in a bar fight sometime during the past year or so. You gotta love the colorful Detroit.
I wonder if she will go to jail. You know Conyers may be tired of her because she is such a loose cannon.
Funny - no mention of this on the news......
Was she part of the Detroit city council that voted to remove the former mayor ?
so maybe ‘in the name of justice’ the influential House Judiciary Committee chmn will see that she gets her five years ;)
When I am in the Detroit area, I listen regularly to WCHB-AM 1200 which bills itself as "urban talk" radio. During the recent battle between the Detroit africanhyphenamericans and the racist suburbanites over the mismanaged and decrepit Cobo Hall, Moronica Conyers and her allies like Barbra Rose "MENSA" Collins were regularly & repeatedly lauded by the morning host Mildred Gaddis and her callers. My point being that your point is, IMO, very valid. The hatred for the white race, caucasians or Europeans as we are politely called, drips off very many in the city and trumps much else.
I can't help but think John Conyers has regretted his choice of wife for a long time. She is absolutely disgusting in so very many ways.
Detroit and Pontiac are but two of many Black dominated Cities that are complete cesspools of corruption and Racism. Yet the 90% Black Electorate of Detroit keeps electing their new Plantation Masters over and over again.
And when the 40% unemployment rate and High School graduation rate of less than 30% causes them to again riot over their deplorable state, they will burn each others homes down along with what little business there is that was willing to take the risk of serving their miserable a$$s.
The problem is not “Whitey”. They need to take a long look in the mirror.
Rep. Conyers and his wife should also both be charged with 1 count each of Improper Filing of Tax Returns, assuming they file joint. The money she took as a bribe should have been declared as income.
ANYONE who can make John Conyers look like a sympathetic character should be locked up forever.
The rat party invented the term for use against Republicans. It could effortlessly be thrown back in their faces.
Well.......bye.
