A former congressional intern reportedly says she too was a victim of inappropriate sexual contact by now-retired Rep. John Conyers, saying Conyers even claimed during that encounter to have “inside information” on then-missing federal intern Chandra Levy.
Courtney Morse, 36, described the incident from 16 years ago to The Washington Post. She said Conyers, D-Mich., mentioned the Levy case when Morse was a college intern for him and the congressman drove her home one night.
Morse said Conyers wrapped his hand around hers while it was in her lap and said he was interested in a sexual relationship, the newspaper reported.
Levy went missing in 2001. A police investigation revealed she was having an affair with married California Democratic Rep. Gary Condit.
“[Conyers] said he had insider information on the case. I don’t know if he meant it to be threatening, but I took it that way,” Morse told The Post. “I got out of the car and ran.”
Morse said nothing inappropriate happened during the first months of her internship and that she accepted Conyers’ offer for a paid summer internship. Then he started giving her gifts and asked her to dine with him -- and later offered her the ride home, which she accepted. Morse quit her internship shortly after the incident and returned to Ohio.
Levy’s remains were found about a year later in a park. MS-13 member Ingmar Guandique was found guilty of murder, but the case was effectively dropped over problematic witness testimony and Guandique was deported. Condit lost reelection in 2002 amid speculation about his role, but his lawyer later described the Guandique verdict as vindication for his client.

BTY, Joe Scarborough has always been a low-life POS!
This case has DEMOCRAT written all over it.
If she talked to the WaPo 16 years ago, did they bury it? Is there a cover-up?
Just because felons like Conyers and Clinton aren’t in office DOES NOT MEAN THEY SHOULD AVOID PROSECUTION!!
Amazing. Good looking young babe peddling all she’s got to the powerful. Housewives at home be dammed.
Wow. KFI’s John and Ken traveled up to Condit’s office for a live broadcast. They burst in and on the air, asked his secretary where he hid the body. LOL
Besides his intern, did Conyers ever tell L/E what he knew about the Levy murder?
If not why not?
That dam DC swamp is getting swampier by the minute.
Watch the end of South Park season 5 Butters very special episode.

Washington Talk; A Behind-the-Scenes Guy on Stage
JULY 20, 2001
Most people on Congressional staffs walk three paces behind their bosses. Aides are frequently reminded, as one senator’s press secretary said she was told on her first day at work, ‘’Your job is to get my name in the paper, not yours.’’
And then there is Julian Epstein.
He is the chief Democratic counsel on the House Judiciary Committee, and over the last month, he has been on television night after night with Larry King and Geraldo Rivera and other hosts, trading sound bites with familiar talking heads like William J. Bennett, Barbara K. Olson, Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter.
The topic is Representative Gary A. Condit and Chandra Ann Levy, the missing intern.
Mr. Epstein’s take is that if Mr. Condit, a California Democrat, had an affair with Ms. Levy, that was a serious mistake, and the congressman would be wise to do everything he could to help the police and to express to the public that he was distraught. But Mr. Epstein insists, night after night, that what is truly important is to find Ms. Levy and that no one has made a credible link between her disappearance and her relationship with Mr. Condit.
No other Congressional staff assistant has ever been featured on TV so regularly. Mr. Epstein (he pronounces the second syllable ‘’steen’’) also made frequent television appearances during the impeachment and trial of President Bill Clinton.
‘’I can’t think of anything that would remotely be precedent,’’ said Michael J. Malbin, a political scientist at the State University of New York at Albany who has written extensively about Congressional staffs.
Some lawmakers have their noses out of joint, saying it appears as if Mr. Epstein is speaking for the Democratic members of the Judiciary Committee.
‘’When a staffer speaks,’’ said Representative Anthony D. Weiner, a Democrat from Brooklyn who sits on the committee, ‘’people interpret what he’s saying as reflecting the views of the members.’’
But Mr. Epstein’s boss, Representative John Conyers Jr. of Michigan, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, is fully supportive. ‘’Julian Epstein has not only had my full blessings to engage with print and electronic media, but he has done so with consummate skill in advancing the Democratic agenda,’’ he said.
Still, responding to the criticism, Mr. Conyers said that from now on, Mr. Epstein must make clear when he holds forth on Mr. Condit that he is not speaking in any official capacity.
Mr. Epstein, 39, has worked for Mr. Conyers in one position or another since he graduated from the University of Michigan in 1984.

She did not report it 16 yrs ago. The article said she talked of the incident from 16 years ago.
I wish she had reported it back then

I kinda remember Condit in the affair. He was a pip of a Democrap!
Yes—with a dead intern under his desk.
Why is Joe so defensive and vocal and so virulently anti-Trump now??? Even more so than during the election. What info does Trump have on all the vile perverts now that he is in office that they want him removed immediately???
(Just munching on some of my buttered popcorn here, smiling. Truth always wins in the end.)
Who was she supposed to report it to?
She had every reason not to trust _anyone_ inside the swamp.
