Pelosi Quietly Whitewashes Conyers Scandals John Conyer’s Ex-Staffer Renews Charges "A Holland-area woman is reviving charges of unethical conduct against U.S. Rep. John Conyers as the Detroit Democrat prepares to ascend to the chairmanship of the House Judiciary Committee. Deanna Maher, retired chief of staff for Conyers’ Downriver Region office near Detroit, alleges Conyers required her to work on political campaigns and to baby-sit for his children while on the government payroll, both violations of House ethics rules. Conyers has, in the past, denied the allegations. Maher, who lives in Park Township and has longtime connections to West Michigan, said Conyers is not fit to hold the important post. "He’s coming up for election for heading the Judiciary. I do believe the country needs better," she said." Former Conyers aides press ethics complaints "Two former aides to Rep. John Conyers have alleged that he repeatedly violated House ethics rules. Deanna Maher, a former deputy chief of staff in Conyers’s Detroit office, and Sydney Rooks, a former legal counsel in the district office, provided evidence for the allegations by sharing numerous letters, memorandums and copies of e-mails, handwritten notes and expense reports with The Hill. In letters sent separately by each woman to the House ethics committee, the FBI and the U.S. attorney’s office, they allege that Conyers demanded that aides work on several local and state campaigns and forced them to baby-sit and chauffeur his children. They also charge that some aides illegally used Conyers’s congressional offices to enrich themselves. Maher decided she could no longer work for Conyers in such an unethical environment and quit in May 2005. Rooks had left Conyers years earlier; she was a full-time staffer working in the office for him from 1997 to 1999. Before leaving, Conyers placed her on paid administrative leave for several months and stopped paying her in April 2000. “I could not tolerate any longer being involved with continual unethical, if not criminal, practices which were accepted as ‘business as usual,’” Maher wrote in a letter to the ethics panel dated Jan. 13, 2006." Incoming Judiciary Committee Chair Admits Breaking Ethics Rules "They quietly released a public statement, perfectly timed to minimize coverage in the press, that simply says Conyers ought to refrain from breaking ethics rules and laws in the future. That’s not even a slap on the wrist. And this for the man who will soon be Chairman of the House Committee that has jurisdiction over the civil and criminal justice system. And how about incoming House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi who promised to drain the swamp of corruption in Congress?" Oh well at least he wasnt molesting underage pages like that last guy or running a gay whorehouse out of his house or dumb enough to stash the wifes illicit cash in his freezer. Conyers was just treating the staff like his personal slaves. [...] […] Originally Posted by Redress I am not married, and your question is irrelevant.

Foley, a relatively unimportant Congressman. Yet barely a peep do we get about misuse of office from a man slated to become chairman of one of the House's most important Committees (Judiciary). Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) was all over Foley. Have they said anything about Conyers? http://www.citizensforethics.org/press/index.php Nope! Wonder why? Oh, I know... because the Melanie Sloan, the Exec. Director of CREW worked for Conyers! Like Dem Presidential hopeful John Edwards, I've always said there are two Americas. There are the rules that are applied to Republicans with the entire force of every letter and intention of the law, then there are Democrats who simply flout the rules and when caught, if at all, make a few apologies and attempt to "move on." Speaking of moving on... Have we found out who in Conyers office it was that stole 6o turkeys from a Detroit food bank destined for the poor to give out instead to Conyer's political supporters in 2004? http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/archives/003475.php Again, we know more about the emails of an unimportant EX-Congressman, than we do about the misuse of office and stealing from the poor by a Democrat!
