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.

I agree, CREW is supposedly a government “watchdog” but they are far to the left.

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,...

The next time someone accuses DJT of "not being presidential" we should fire back "Oh, you mean like LBJ"?

I go to church with someone who used to be on LBJ’s Secret Service detail. He said LBJ was the most disgusting human he’d ever met.
