Conyers accused of taking staff meeting in his underwear, ordering subordinate to babysit his kid

No one had to guess whether Rep. John Conyers wore boxers or briefs, according to a former key staffer, who said the embattled Michigan lawmaker once called her into a meeting while sporting only his skivvies.

Melanie Sloan, a lawyer who worked with Conyers on the House Judiciary Committee, said she was called up to the long-serving congressman's office to discuss an issue only to find him “walking around in his underwear.”

Sloan is the third woman to accuse Conyers of inappropriate behavior.

“It made me increasingly anxious and depressed about going to work every day,” she said, adding that “there was no way to fix it.”

“There was no mechanism I could use, no person I could go to,” she said.

Sloan was a well-known Washington lawyer when she worked as Democratic counsel on the House Judiciary Committee in the 1990s. It was not clear exactly when the strange encounter with the lawmaker, now 88, occurred.

During her time working for the committee, she claims Conyers often screamed at her, fired her the re-hired her, criticized her for not wearing stockings and once even ordered her to babysit one of his children.

LBJ used to do that.

Johnson is reported to have had conversations while exposing his genitals, urinating in the sink, and sitting on the toilet ... Presidential historian and former White House aide Doris Kearns Goodwin remembers not only regularly accompanying him to the restroom,...

I always think of LBJ when I read the words 'don't mess with Texas'.

I’d forgotten all about LBJ doing that crud.

That corrupt old turkey was a real piece of work.

John Conyers has been in Congress longer than Charles Manson was in prison.

Are we paying for Conyers transportation?

You must be kidding....

I t’s a known fact that once they get into office, the elected parasite never uses his/hers own money ever again.....for anything.

Taxpayers are bilked for their every need.

The staff member said Conyers walked around with his shorts....”but he didnt try anything sexual.”

That’s very naive of her b/c walking around women with his shorts is a very common pervy practice.

Pervert Conyers got a thrill without having to make any moves on the girl.

And just wait til the prim and proper black church ladies back in Detroit find about about this

Politicians like John Conyers demonstrate what true self appointed Privilege looks like.

His staffer said “It made me increasingly anxious and depressed about going to work every day.”.........having to look at Conyer’s old decrepit pecker could do that to you.

Its a wonder Conyers can feel anything in his nether regions....never mind perform a strenuous sex act.

Conyers is 88....he ought to consider leaving his body parts to medical science.

The Headlines would be great: “Black icon leaves his penis to the Atomic Energy Commission.”

One story is that he took some aides to his ranch for work sessions.

One night he entered the bedroom of an aide......she was shocked and begged him to go away.

LBJ calmly told her he was her president and she had to submit.

I once knew a woman who worked for Sen. Dodd in the late 80’s... was told to do personal errands like getting his dry cleaning. At the time she told me about this I assumed that was all there was to it. Now I realize she was crying out for help and there was far more to it than dry cleaning runs.

Haven’t seen her since then. Hope she’s gotten well past that scumbag. I subsequently worked w/ a niece of Dodd, and we all thought she was quiet about her uncle out of modesty. Not so sure about that anymore.

Hoping someone is also looking into John Warner of VA: total louse, and there is baggage in his past.

Yep, if I remember right it was Chris Dodd and Teddy that was involved in the “waitress sandwich.”

Maybe 10 years ago, I was called out of a trial to an emergency hearing in another division. The assistant said that the judge was holding the telephone call with the other lawyer who was about 100 miles away. The Judge motioned me in and the I noticed he was sitting at his desk wearing only his gym shorts and a wife beater undershirt. We had what I recall as a very serious hearing. Once it was over the Judge seemed to realize for the first time that he was only in his underwear. He said he was going to his physical therapy appointment after his next hearing. He put on his robes and went into his courtroom.

I’m sorry she had to go through that, but I am not impressed by CREW. They are part of the enemy.
