Former Conyers aides press ethics complaints: Two former aides to Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) 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.
You will want to read the rest here.
Will Congressman Conyers step down as Ranking Democrat of the House Judiciary Committee while these allegations are investigated?
Anybody need more proof that standards of conduct and ethics are ONLY meant to be applied to Republicans?
