Ethics probe on Rep Conyers sought!

We know his crazy wife is crooked as hell, being up on BRIBERY charges in Detroit, and having to resign her Detroit City Council seat…. now it seems that Rep Conyers intervened with the EPA in SUPPORT of her crooked schemes!!

The Landmark Legal Foundation filed Monday a House ethics complaint against Rep. John Conyers Jr., Michigan Democrat, over his role in writing a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency that supported a waste project tied to his wife, a former Detroit City Council member who has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery.
The foundation said Mr. Conyers attempted to influence the EPA on behalf of a family member, whose office reviewed a draft of the EPA letter he sent. He also violated house rules by failing to report funds in a transaction by his wife, the complaint stated.

Monica Conyers pleaded guilty to a federal count of conspiracy to commit bribery for her role in accepting money in exchange for her vote in a city sludge hauling contract. She is awaiting sentencing.

In a separate business arrangement, her former aide said he received $20,000 after she brokered a deal for consulting with a Detroit businessman whose company sought the injection well contract referenced in Mr. Conyers’ EPA letter. The aide, Sam Riddle, said Mrs. Conyers later demanded, and he paid her, a $10,000 “finder’s fee” on the deal.

“I don’t believe John Conyers’ wife could have done these things and John Conyers written the letter that he wrote without knowing something. It’s absolutely crucial that he be questioned under oath under penalty of perjury about what he knew,” said Mark R. Levin, Landmark Legal Foundation president, about its ethics complaint, filed Monday to the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct.
