Conyers Has Driver's License Suspended After Bounced Check

DETROIT -- Rep. John Conyers, the powerful chairman of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, had his driver's license suspended for a month this summer when a check he used to pay the renewal fee bounced, according to Michigan driving records obtained by The Associated Press.

The 81-year-old Detroit Democrat tried to renew his license at a secretary of state branch office on Feb. 2, the records show. Months later, state officials determined the bank account tied to the check had insufficient funds, and his license was suspended on June 30.

Conyers eventually paid the fee, and his suspension was lifted July 26.

Asked for an explanation, Conyers' Detroit district office responded with a written statement that said "a check was inadvertently written to renew the chairman's driver's license from an account that had been recently closed.

The senile coot thought it was still the good old days when the Rats had their 40 years of power.

Bouncing checks was a way of life for them!!

Conyers’ wife is a jailbird for taking bribes and committing other corrupt acts in Detroit.

He’s in a black district. He’s no different from Rangel. There could be video of him brutally murdering a toddler looping 24/7 on every broadcast media outlet in the country and those people would still vote for him, especially isfit was a white toddler.

Yes, that was one of the big scandals of the early 90s if I remember correctly. I was only elementary school age at the time, but it was on the Cleveland news constantly because Cleveland congresswoman Mary Rose Oakar was one of the biggest offenders. Of course, that seat is now held by Dennis Kucinich. For anybody that doesn’t remember what Oakar looked like, she was a slightly less hideous version of Helen Thomas.
