The progressive publication "Michigan Messenger" reports Rep. John Conyers may be investigated in connection with the same scandal that snared his wife Monica, a Detroit City Council member. SEE http://tr.im/... His wife resigned her office today after having been convicted on Friday last. The 80 year old congressman who has been in office for forty plus years used to have a great liberal reputation. Conyers has been Chair of the House Judiciary Committee since right after the 2006 election.
The Messinger article says "The aide, Sam Riddle, said Conyers even helped draft a letter sent by her husband, Congressman John Conyers Jr., D-Mich., to help a man with whom she had financial ties. It is unclear whether John Conyers knew of his wife"s alleged link to the businessman."
"The U.S. Attorney in charge of the investigation said last week that they had no evidence that John Conyers had been "knowingly or intentionally involved" in his wife"s corruption,
but he also said that this is only the beginning of the indictments and that the corruption went much deeper than just Monica Conyers.
With Riddle now on the record implicating the longtime Congressman, John Conyers finds himself clearly in the crosshairs of the investigation."
