Conyers Fired Staffer for Refusing His Sexual Advances
BuzzFeed.com ^ | Nov 20th, 2017 | Paul McLeod

Michigan Rep. John Conyers, a Democrat and the longest-serving member of the House of Representatives, settled a wrongful dismissal complaint in 2015 with a former employee who alleged she was fired because she would not “succumb to [his] sexual advances.”

Documents from the complaint obtained by BuzzFeed News include four signed affidavits, three of which are notarized, from former staff members who allege that Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the powerful House Judiciary Committee, repeatedly made sexual advances to female staff that included requests for sexual favors, contacting and transporting other women with whom they believed Conyers was having affairs, caressing their hands sexually, and rubbing their legs and backs in public. Four people involved with the case verified the documents are authentic.

Don’t forget that Paul Ryan was Speaker and complicit in the cover up of this.

Yup. What does he know, and when did he first know it??

Good question. I know Fox News (ie Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Tucker, et al) and conservative talk radio will be all over this. But will the MSM pick it up?? Will Pelosi make a statement about Conyers??

I expect to hear nothing but crickets...

I will just say I am not surprised one bit by the news. I would also bet this is just the tip of the iceberg.

You said it.

Just. The. Tip.

One more thing. I want to know what Paul Ryan knows about this and when he knew it? What the hell kind of a place is he running? Same for Mitch.

“Don’t forget that Paul Ryan was Speaker and complicit in the cover up of this.”

Big big win if this drags down Ryan along with Conyers,

Who cares what the msm- aka the public relations division of the Swamp - has to say?

Ignore them, just enjoy their collapse as the Swamp is drained.

He has numerous ethics charges, among them having a beachfront property in Puerto Rico and not paying taxes on rental income (if I remember correctly), his wife taking bribes, not bothering to read bills if they’re too long, wife charged with taking bribes, reading porno mags on airplanes, etc.

Here are some drudgereport headlines on Conyers from the past:

What do the vast majority of these sex perverts have in common? If you said, “Most are DemocRats”, you would be correct.

I think he was planning on retiring after this term anyway. But you’re right, if he were to run again, he’d get re-elected in a landslide.

I mean, how can they put all of this back into a bottle. If they don’t come completely clean, they will have NO credibility. (I just realized that I implied that Congress has credibility to lose).

They’re hosed no matter what they do or don’t do.

That’s what you call a win-win!
