Detroit TV stations are being taken over by a big story. Monica Conyers, wife of congressman John Conyers, is going down on conspiracy charges. She is pleading guilty and faces from 2 to 5 years in jail and a fine up to 200,000 dollars. She is on the Detroit Council . The charges stem from Federal Investigation into bribery in the Synagro Sludge Removal contracts. The TV reporters say she was caught on film taking a 2 K bribe in marked bills.
Yet in Detroit, we suspect that is how business is done. We are way past expecting council members to act honestly,or to act like adults. The ugliness just continues on and on and on.
Yeah but if she want’s to avoid jail time all she has to do in plead batshit insanity. The entire metro area will back it up.
What I don’t get is the need she has for money. She got nailed for a 2000 dollar bribe. Her husbands been a congressman forever, and she has been on the council. But she sold favors for a small amount of cash.There is a lot of money in the Synagro Sludge Removal contract. There is much of the story still untold.
I do not think the Feds will let her off with probation. It is a 47 million dollar contract.
