Yesterday’s kabuki
theater on Meet The Press was one for the ages.
Nancy Pelosi Palsi called
the 88-year-old bag of bones pants dropper, John Conyers (D-MI), an “icon” who
has “done a great deal to protect women."
During the interview,
Palsi would not say whether Conyers should be removed as the ranking member of
the House Judiciary Committee, but opined he would “do the right thing.”
Conyers is a member of
the Congressional Black Congress (CBC).
Palsi, according to an aide “worked behind the scenes with the CBC to
lay the groundwork for him to step aside gracefully,” because her interview
with Chuck Todd was so catastrophic and she’s scared shitless of the CBC.
She issued a “clean-up”
statement to save her zero-tolerance credibility. The claims against Conyers represent a
serious abuse of power. Having Conyers
step down will not take the heat off Democrats because her paw prints are all over the non-disclosure agreements
from her time as Speaker of the House.
Someone noted, “The dinosaurs are facing extinction at their own game.”
From Judicial Watch’s Corruption
Chronicles:
Conyers’ wife, disgraced Detroit City Councilwoman Monica
Conyers, served three years in prison for bribery. Now it’s hubby’s turn to be
in the scandal limelight. Affidavits filed by four former employees and
scrutinized by reputable news outlets, show an alarming pattern of sexual
misconduct by Conyers.
In the documents the workers say they saw the congressman
repeatedly making sexual advances to women on his staff, including touching
them inappropriately with leg and back rubs and requesting sexual favors. The
woman who received the secret settlement filed a wrongful dismissal complaint
in 2014, claiming she was fired for rebuffing the congressman’s repeated sexual
advances. In 2015 she was paid $27,000 from Conyers’ taxpayer-funded office
budget in exchange for her silence.
His office would “rehire” the woman as a “temporary
employee” despite her being directed not to come into the office or do any
actual work, according to the document cited in the news report that broke the
scandal last week. A law clerk representing the woman described it as a
“designed cover-up.”
