How insulting AND CRIMINAL does it have to get before people wake up to the truth - the man committed a crime.
Congressmen abuse women then pay them off with MONEY THEY STEAL FROM TAXPAYERS? And what? We're suppose to accept an 'apology' written by a professional speechwriter? It doesn't work that way in flyover... if we steal we're arrested. Congresmen have committed a crime. The system is: arrest and trial in front of fellow citizens. IT'S NOT TO CRAFT AN APOLOGY. THEY STOLE MONEY - - THAT'S A CRIME.
DEAL WITH IT AS A CRIME.
If CONGRESSIONAL ELITES HAVE committed CRIMES they should be arrested and tried by a jury. I don't care if the women ‘forgive’ a rapist after receiving large sums of hush money - if it's a CRIME it should be treated as a crime. Even include the ‘presumption of innocence’ which is part of our system....
When Bill Clinton raped a woman it was NEVER UP TO HILLARY TO ‘FORGIVE’ HIM. It was never up to Bill Clinton to ‘forgive’ Hillary for making a hundred thousand in the markets in six months either. That was a crime too and should have been treated as a crime.
I don't care if his party pushes him out... I trust the people to elect their own Representative IF THEY ARE GIVEN ALL THE FACTS AND NOT THE WHITE WASHED LIES THE CORRUPT PRESS PUTS OUT THAT PROTECTS DEMOCRATS AND SQUASES REPUBLICANS.
PUT IT ALL OUT AND LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE.
OH, AND IF THE CREEP USED TAXPAYER MONEY TO PAY OFF WOMEN HE ABUSED ARREST HIM FOR THEFT. THE JERK IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW.
I don't even care if Conyers's wife ‘forgives’ him for robbing a bank if he robbed a banks too... or if the ‘bigs’ in Congress ‘forgive’ him for stealing from citizens. They ARE NOT ALLOWED TO 'FORGIVE' CRIMES AGAINST CITIZENS.
APOLOGIES ARE NOT PART OF OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. I DON'T CARE IF A BANK ROBBER 'APOLOGIZES' OR NOT... I DON'T CARE IF HIS WIFE 'FORGIVES' HIM. WHAT KIND OF APOLOGY WOULD WE ACCEPT FROM A MAN WHO MURDERED HIS WIFE? EVEN IF HE HAD THE APOLOGY FOCUS GROUP TESTED AND WRITTEN BY A FIRST CLASS SPEECH WRITER?
He broke the law - arrest him and let a jury decide. That's how our system works. Congress does NOT have the Constitutional right to 'forgive' or offer pardons. Slap up the corrupt FBI and tell them ELITES ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW.
I want these CONGRESSIONAL creeps LIKE CONYERS to pay back the American taxpayers for the ‘hush money’ they paid out using OUR MONEY......ETC..

Well put but the WKRP ‘turkey fleet’ will fly first...even the frozen ones...before ANYTHING substantial will happen.’ (Lord I will take the insults etal if proven wrong - in fact I would welcome them)
Realizing this ‘Congressional’ thing has been going on ‘forever’, I really thought the whole system would get overhauled when the ‘House Banking Scheme’ hit the light of day because EVERY ‘Joe Six Pack & Mate’ know what happens when you start bouncing checks all over the place or even try writing (’kiting’) them prior a deposit.
These clowns were ‘allowed’ to walk down the the Post Office, buy a roll of stamps, pay for it with a ‘donated’ check and walk away with the change in CASH.
We slapped a few wrists rather timidly and the ‘poor SOBs’ rather than be facing the same Jail Time J6P etal would be facing were basically allowed to dream up another scheme....
I remember ‘back in the day’ when a person would retire from the Military, have a ceremony on Friday evening and Monday come in wearing a Suit and ‘working’ for the civilian part of the operation.
Guess ‘we were too ‘stupid’ to realize the new job was either payback for services past rendered or hiring his expertise to get around the red tape.
However, when these guys were found out a 5 or so year ban was put on.
Also remember when we used to ‘laugh’ at people who retired from a Government (NON social security) job then ‘working’ at the local hardware store to make enough money to qualify for the SS money that others had been paying into ALL their working career.
‘They’ fixed that by expanding unemployment insurance then allowing people to complain they were ‘depressed and in constant turmoil’ from drawing from the dole, they were allowed to claim such ‘illnesses’ and draw Social Security.
I have absolutely nothing against LEGITIMATE helping of those in need but we have backed ourselves into a corner by all these ‘giveaways’.
Watch these ‘Judge’ shows - Judge Judy tries to berate the ‘cheats’ but people actually go on there and admit they are drawing (at 30) SS benefits for a bad back and in the interim have managed to spit out a few kids.
She used to really get on them but has eased up a little, one of her favorites being -NO, YOU don’t take care of your kids-You are getting food stamps, ADD payments, welfare etc and BYRD & I and the rest of the working people are paying for it.....
Have never heard one of them ‘Thank her or us’ but todays type has the ‘it is owed to me mentality - doesn’t matter what Race, Color or Creed, it seems to be a prevailing attitude.
People ‘used’ to take Public or even ‘Church’ money with a little shame but today it seems to be a ‘badge of honor’.
I pick up on the attitude when a ‘well dressed’ man will sit there, talk about his drawing (whatever) then making a statement like ...I work 24 hrs a week but I CAN’T work any longer than that as I will lose my benefits.
‘BENEFITS’ maybe it is time to reintroduce the words mooch and leech into everyday language and quit catering to the phonies...
Admittedly there probably is such a thing as ADD or whatever they label it BUT once Unca Sugah starts paying YOU if YOUR kid is said to have ADD, pretty soon EVERYONE wants a piece of that action.
Even from a moral stand point WHY should people be receiving PUBLIC MONEY because they are ‘taking care’ of their own kinfolk?
But once a program is introduced, it is nigh near impossible to discontinue...
Amen.
