Excerpt:
Monica Conyers has just been sentenced to 37 months in prison. She also received 2 years of supervised probation. Just before sentencing, Conyers screamed "If they have their tapes, I have my tapes too. I taped Rayford, I taped Riddle. You'll be fair to me or I want to withdraw my plea."
She also yelled, "What about my children? They did nothing to cause this. All I did was try to help someone I fired."
Sheesh, break out the Xanax. Or the thorazine suppositories.....
:^)
she is a Detriot councilman who is married to US House Rep John Conyers
Thanks. I can’t keep up with the so many Rats scurrying (sp) around.
Probably be pardoned by BO.
There are no R’s in Detroit, hell there’s hardly any white folks, and now that I think about it, there aren’t a lot of people of any color left there!
They were all a hell of a lot smarter than her too. One of them gave her a lecture on being an adult that went right over her head. lol!
There's another political party in Detroit?
BWAHAHAHAHAHA HA HA HA !!!
In that area of Michigan? No chance. It'll all be whitey's fault. It actually just gives the Democrats mor "street creds".
My baby dint do nuff’n!!!
Was this federal? If so she will do every month of it.
So much for going down gracefully.
Just wow. Any of us would have been tased and cuffed already by then.
Papas testified he paid Riddle $10,000 in July 2007 after Monica Conyers showed him a letter from her husband supporting the well.
She can join Kwame when they put his butt back in jail.
Prosecutors presented secretly recorded phone conversations and other evidence to support their case that Riddle and Conyers teamed up as “political pirates” to plunder business people with matters pending before the City Council or the General Retirement System.
Riddle’s trial, which ended in a hung jury and is set for a redo in July, heard evidence that Conyers would regularly eat at Mosaic in Greektown and refuse to pay her bill, frequently hit up a city developer for cash for shopping trips and her child’s tuition, and on one occasion shocked Melvin Washington of the Phoenix Group by reaching into his pocket in public and grabbing a wad of cash.
wiretaps played at the Riddle trial, Conyers herself will never escape this quote: “You better get my loot, that’s all I know.”
It was federal.

Rep. Conyers misses House votes today, last night
Washington — Rep. John Conyers, D-Detroit, missed today’s first votes as his wife was sentenced in relation to a bribery conspiracy.
Conyers, the 80-year-old chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, missed three votes today and all three votes last night.
“Notice how little news it’s making (inside the Beltway),” Sabato said of Conyers’ family troubles. “People now see us as living in an era of couples with two careers, with each responsible for their own behavior.
“He’s given a pass. He’s secure in his district and with the (Democratic) leadership.”
