WXYZ ^ | 03/10/10 | Various

Posted on 03/10/2010 12:06:34 PM PST by Kieri

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."

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!

She is also the woman the little black girls took to the woodshed.

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!

That’s odd. There’s no indication of her political party in the article. I wonder why.

There's another political party in Detroit?

hopefully this will help any R candidates in the region

In that area of Michigan?  No chance.  It'll all be whitey's fault.  It actually just gives the Democrats mor "street creds".

Among the most explosive evidence came during testimony of Greektown entrepreneur Jim Papas. In a July 2007 letter shown to jurors during Riddle’s trial, U.S. Rep. John Conyers, Monica’s husband, supported a controversial Papas-operated, hazardous-waste injection well in Romulus that he previously opposed.

Papas testified he paid Riddle $10,000 in July 2007 after Monica Conyers showed him a letter from her husband supporting the well.

She reminds me of Cynthia McKinney. Yet another person with the temperament and composure of a crack ho getting into office.

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.”
