John Conyers III Was Arrested in February, Accused of Stabbing His Girlfriend
By YAMICHE ALCINDORDEC. 6, 2017
WASHINGTON John Conyers III, who was endorsed by his father on Tuesday to succeed him in the House, was arrested in February after his girlfriend suffered knife cuts during an argument.
Mr. Conyers, in an interview Wednesday, tried to head off a possibly disqualifying scandal just a day after his father resigned from Congress amid multiplying allegations of sexual harassment. As issues of sexual harassment and abuse roil Washington, any violent altercation against a woman could doom his effort to take the seat that his father held since 1965.
The younger Mr. Conyers said that the couple began arguing around 3 a.m. the day after Valentines Day and that after a physical fight, police arrested him on suspicion of domestic violence.
The Los Angeles County District Attorneys Office later dropped the charges, but the girlfriend got a restraining order against Mr. Conyers, which remains in effect until March of next year, he said.
She says I stabbed her, which makes no sense, Mr. Conyers, 27, said. I didnt do this. She and I had a verbal altercation and that escalated. She pulled the knife on me. She was chasing me. I tried to take it from her. There was a struggle. I pinned her to the wall. She kept swinging and she cut herself.

Yo, mah man..! Dem honkies doin' dat, uh...CULTURAL APPROPRIATION an' sheet, nome sayin'...? DAT's what ahm talkin' 'bout..!!
Maybe she’s a bad breaker upper?
There was enough to get a TRO but not to prosecute the assault?! Who in the DA's office made that call??
“She pulled the knife on me. She was chasing me. I tried to take it from her. There was a struggle. I pinned her to the wall. She kept swinging and she cut herself.
John III has some hard work ahead of him at Congressional Lying Boot Camp. “I pinned her to the wall...and she cut herself.” Can’t think of a snappier campaign slogan for a race to replace a jerk who harassed women.
The Democrap Party is full of low-lifes. (Auto correct on my phone changed d & p to capitals.). They have no shame.

The nut doesn’t fall from the rotten tree...Resume builder for Democrats - getting arrested, killing someone, or creating fraudulent companies...
My thought exactly which is why I looked first to see if someone already posted it since so many of our great minds think alike. :)
