John Conyer's Wife Implicated In Federal Bribery Case (http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080705/METRO/807050357)
Federal investigators have electronic surveillance evidence that allegedly links Detroit City Council President Pro Tem Monica Conyers with receiving a payment or payments in connection with a city-approved sludge contract, two people familiar with the investigation said.
Conyers-- who changed her position from speaking in opposition to the sludge contract to voting in favor of it -- and at least one other council member are under FBI investigation in connection with possible bribes related to the $47 million contract with Synagro Technologies Inc. of Houston, one of the people familiar with the investigation said Friday. Bribes allegedly paid to people connected with the city but not members of the City Council also are under investigation, one person said.
Steve Fishman, a prominent Detroit criminal attorney representing Conyers, said any allegations against Conyers should be viewed with skepticism.
...Conyers, the spouse of U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Detroit, has been absent from City Council meetings since news of the scandal broke June 28. She declined comment Friday.
"I'm not feeling well right now," she said in a brief telephone interview. "When I get back to work, I'll get back to work."
I borrowed the headline from Gateway Pundit (http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/07/john-conyers-wife-implicated-in-federal.html). The headline from the Detroit News makes it sounds like she was involved in an automobile accident she had no control over. Bullshit.

I doubt this is really a suprise to anyone.
What implications will this bring to her husband though? Are we to believe he was unaware of this?

Are you shitting me? :mental: Do you remember that $100k that Hillary forgot to include on their Federal Income Tax return but Bubba did not know anything about it. Most politicians are crooked bastards that wind up either making a shit pot full of money for themselves or their friends.
Out of the 500 plus House members, around 100 have either declared bankruptcy, written hot checks, can not get a credit card or have been convicted of a crime.

Gee I am shocked that such a wonderful, warm, ethical woman could get caught up in such a horrid mess. She must have been framed and someday between she and OJ they will find the culprits.

they should kick her out and let that little girl who schooled her finish her term. :-)

What is up with the Detroit City Council? Are they trying to take the place of the state goverment of Louisiana as the most corrupt legislative body in the U.S.?

am I the only one :rofl: because it was over a sludge contract?

This has made me wonder. How many politicians "oppose" such measures just in the hopes they'll be bribed?

Sounds like she was dealing with this guy:

Conyer's wife is more corrupt than he is. This isn't the first brush with the law she has had over the past decade or so.

One person's sludge is another person's gold! :-)
