Conyers in Ethics Flap? Fuhgeddaboutit
Two former aides to Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich) allege that he forced them to babysit and chauffer his kids. They also claim that some of his other aides used his office to plump their pocketbooks.
Some shrug off the allegations:
A former staffer who has worked for two House Democrats said, “This type of behavior is so prevalent, the unofficial duties that members require you to do off-the-record. Most staffers are subjected to this unfair treatment. It’s the great untold story on Capitol Hill.”
Will there be an outcry demanding that Conyers be investigated? Not from the Democrats, I'm sure, nor its MSM mouthpiece. A Google search of "conyers former aides babysit ethics" brings up nothing. Any other search keyword ideas?
Granted, it may not be as serious as taking bribes or stealing from the kitty. But an ethics violation is an ethics violation. Will this be investigated or ignored?
In other words, don't expect the usual hue and cry regarding one of their own.
Moonbattery has more.
