Conyers Tries To Kill Impeachment Hearings Before They Start
by George Washington
John Conyers is now taking the position that no one at Friday's impeachment hearing can accuse Bush or Cheney of any crime, or any impeachable offense, or dishonorable conduct, or even lying.
Moreover, Conyers is now saying that he will shut the hearing down if anyone does accuse the boys of crimes, impeachable offenses, or otherwise being naughty.
As David Swanson summarizes it (http://tinyurl.com/6p4vzm):
"Apparently the rules of Congress are designed to allow impeachable offenses to be discussed only in impeachment hearings. Apparently this didn't occur to Chairman Conyers when he decided to hold a non-impeachment impeachment hearing. As a result, his hearing may be quickly shut down, and he will have a choice of holding a real impeachment hearing, resigning, or dropping the pretense that he intends to resist Cheney and Bush in any way whatsoever."

Message from Veterans for Peace: It's Time to Intensify Our Pressure
Congratulations to everyone who has been so deeply involved in our massive mobilization for the past five weeks.
ImpeachBush.org members, and the millions of people who favor impeachment, have forced Congress to hold an impeachment hearing this Friday, July 25 starting at 10:00am
A number of speakers will advocate impeachment and ten members of the House Judiciary Committee are expected to speak for impeachment.
... ... ...
Elliot Adams, president of Veterans for Peace has issued an impassioned message urging everyone to send an email or call their elected officials
during the next days telling them to support impeachment.
Elliot wrote:
Dear fellow Americans,
In the military we took an oath the defended the Constitution of the United Sates from all enemies, foreign and domestic. We in Veterans For Peace (VFP) still honor that oath. To defend the Constitution, to reestablish the balance of power, to protect the ideal of a democracy, we must impeach and do it now. We are asking you to join us in this short but intense campaign of calling Congressmen and demanding impeachment, call between now and July 25th: Call your own representative, call members of the House Judiciary Committee and call them often. Call them yourself and get your friends and neighbors to call.

I think it is a deal to keep his wife out of jail
DETROIT -- Federal investigators have electronic surveillance evidence that allegedly links Detroit City Council President Pro Tem Monica Conyers with receiving a payment or payments in connection with a city-approved sludge contract, two people familiar with the investigation said.
Conyers -- who changed her position from speaking in opposition to the sludge contract to voting in favor of it -- and at least one other council member are under FBI investigation in connection with possible bribes related to the $47 million contract with Synagro Technologies Inc. of Houston, one of the people familiar with the investigation said Friday. Bribes allegedly paid to people connected with the city but not members of the City Council also are under investigation, one person said.
Steve Fishman, a prominent Detroit criminal attorney representing Conyers, said any allegations against Conyers should be viewed with skepticism.
"Every time I hear the word 'allegedly,' it reminds me of Gladys Knight and her song, 'I Heard It Through the Grapevine,' " Fishman said.
"Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear."
Conyers, the spouse of U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Detroit, has been absent from City Council meetings since news of the scandal broke June 28. She declined comment Friday.

Background
they have info on the fraud of his wife and threaten with blackmail should he allow it.
His office denies it..
but that doesn’t mean much. I just called his office upon seeing this post and was reassured (Like FISA) that conyers intends to let DK present the articles of Impeachment.
You all may want to call and be sure they get it, yes?
202.225.5126 conyers DC office
As the video points out however we really do not seem to have any representation in this house except for 1, maybe 2 reps.
Who is that one guy that will always stand alone for the sake of the constitution? Dr…….
