Outrageous -- but par for the course among the Democrats.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi extended her "full support" Thursday to Rep. John Conyers, whose wife, Detroit City Councilwoman Monica Conyers, is the subject of a City Hall corruption case."There is no indication that this matter involves Chairman Conyers," Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill told The Detroit News. "Chairman Conyers has the full support of the speaker."
Excuse me, but the Justice Department is investigating -- and near to indicting -- the man's wife. Are we really to believe that Conyers -- who has a history of abusing federally paid staff and federal funds for the personal use of himself and his wife -- would not attempt to influence the investigation? Moreover, doesn't this appearance of impropriety constitute an impropriety in and of itself?
Hey, Nancy -- you promised to clean out the Ethical Swamp that is the House of Representatives. Quit giving free passes to the unethical alligators of your own party.
