Wow, yet another marriage where the one political spouse doesn't have a clue what the other is doing.

Reminds me of the Pardongate time when Hillary just took the white envelope and never looked inside before passing it on.

Congressman Conyers must be shocked at his wife's corruption. He didn't have any idea at all, I'm sure.

This needs more sunlight. He's the House Judiciary Committee chairman.

I don't think he is talking, but remember reading the contractor in the pay to play deal, paid his kids school tuition.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree..Her and her criminal husband should be in jail and the key thrown away..When Congress is taken away from the pathetic democrats maybe someone will get some back bone and send all the criminals in Washington to jail..

Great video! I’ve seen it many times but it’s tremendous insight into Monica Criminal. Kiera Bell is quite the young lady. Thanks for the link.

From Michelle Malkin: Malkin The Ensign affair vs. the Conyers case

--Corruption runs in the Conyers family. Remember? Flashback January 2007:

After a probe lasting more than three years, the committee declared that Conyers has “accepted responsibility” for a series of House rules violations involving the use – and abuse – of his staffers.

According to published reports, Conyers used several staffers as his personal servants – requiring them to babysit and tutor his children, chauffeur him to personal events, help his wife with her law-school classes, work on his campaigns and pay restaurant and motel bills.

--- One staffer was even ordered to move into Conyers’ home for six weeks and serve as a live-in nanny to his kids. --

I worked at the Detroit Wastewater Treatment Plant for two years as a consulting engineer. The put out an incredible amount of sludge. That plant is the largest in the US and treats about 35% of the sewage in the entire state.

Municipal sludge contains a large amount of energy and value as fertilizer. In Detroit they were looking at making part of the sludge into roofing shingles.

If you think of the sludge as a raw material and Detroit as the largest source of it in the US you can understand there are a lot of companies that would really like to get that contract.

You would think that the good people in the Congressional Black Caucus would drop out of that outfit. They will all look like criminals if they stay in and everyone should be investigated for criminal activity.

Someone needs to start a new website about Democrat corruption. It can be named The Sludge Report.

How fitting it is for a Conyers to be trapped in sludge. Too bad John won’t be joining her.
