“One Of My Duties While Working For Rep. Conyers Was To Keep A List Of Women"

by Daniel Greenfield: Some say this will be the end of Congressman Conyers. I'm skeptical. CBC members don't quit over mere scandals. They have to be indicted and convicted. And I'm not too sure this will do it. But it does give us a peek into what's behind the curtain at Congress.


One affidavit from a former female employee states that she was tasked with flying in women for the congressman. “One of my duties while working for Rep. Conyers was to keep a list of women that I assumed he was having affairs with and call them at his request and, if necessary, have them flown in using Congressional resources,” said her affidavit. (A second staffer alleged in an interview that Conyers used taxpayer resources to fly women to him.)

“I am personally aware of several women who have experienced the same or similar sexual advances made towards them by Rep[.] John Conyers,” she said in her affidavit.

A male employee wrote that he witnessed Rep. Conyers rub the legs and other body parts of the complainant “in what appeared to be a sexual manner” and saw the congressman rub and touch other women “in an inappropriate manner.”

Another female employee also attested that she witnessed Conyer’s advances, and said she was asked to transport women to him. “I was asked on multiple occasions to pick up women and bring them to Mr. Conyers[‘] apartment, hotel rooms, etc.”

Another staffer said that Conyers’ reputation made people fearful to speak out against him. Aside from being the longest-serving House member and the ranking member of a powerful committee, Conyers is a civil rights icon. He was lauded by Martin Luther King Jr. and is a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus.

“Your story won’t do shit to him,” said the staffer. “He’s untouchable.”Pretty much. CBC members have gotten away with a whole lot.

Monica Conyers, his wife, was sent to jail for three years. Mere scandal doesn't do it. Sexual harassment won't do it. Barring expulsion or indictment, Conyers will be in Congress. His voters, despite being a reliable Dem voting bloc, don't care about social justice issues. And couldn't care less about virtue signaling.


In her complaint, the former employee said Conyers repeatedly asked her for sexual favors and often asked her to join him in a hotel room. On one occasion, she alleges that Conyers asked her to work out of his room for the evening, but when she arrived the congressman started talking about his sexual desires. She alleged he then told her she needed to “touch it,” in reference to his penis, or find him a woman who would meet his sexual demands.

“Rep. Conyers strongly postulated that the performing of personal service or favors would be looked upon favorably and lead to salary increases or promotions,” the former employee said in the documents.The question here is will Dems take actual action against Conyers? I wouldn't count on it. Expect his defense to involve claims of racism.
