LOS ANGELES — John Conyers III, a Detroit hedge fund manager named as a possible successor to his scandal-rocked father, Rep. John Conyers, was arrested in Los Angeles this year on suspicion of domestic violence, but prosecutors declined to charge him, according to documents obtained by NBC News.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office cited a "lack of independent witnesses" and their conclusion that it "could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the victim’s injury was not accidentally sustained" while he was disarming her, according to case paperwork.

Good question!

Hedge fund managers need to be sober, extremely knowledgeable, with quick instinct for markets and the value of money. They need to live and breathe finance. Even then, hedge funds can be high risk for the investor.

What investor would trust their money to a vulgar "aspiring rapper" with a propensity toward violence? And you know this clown isn't a grad of the Wharton School.

“John Conyers III, a Detroit hedge fund manager named as a possible successor to his scandal-rocked father, Rep. John Conyers, was arrested in Los Angeles this year on suspicion of domestic violence”

A worthy successor to the old man. The constituents won’t even know there has been a change.

This guy USED to be into rap in a huge way. In a single song he would scream the F-word OVER 50 times. AND he would do all that other stupid bragging stuff.

Videos of that are the campaign material. But, with racial gerrymandering, they will probably work in his favor!
