Monica Conyers Pleads Guity to Taking Bribes for City Contracts; Supposedly Faces Up to Three Years, But We All Know That's Not Going To Happen

Detroit City Council Pro Tem Monica Conyers pleaded guilty to a felony today in connection with the city sludge contract hauling scandal. Detroit's top federal prosecutor said no other City Council members would be charged in connection with the contract.

Conyers, 44, spoke softly in federal court as she admitted taking bribes in connection with $1.2 billion Synagro Technologies Inc. contract the Detroit City Council awarded in 2007.

Conyers changed her position from opposing to supporting the deal to cast the deciding vote.

Conyers could be facing about three years in prison under her plea agreement. Her attorney, Steve Fishman, believes federal sentencing guidelines of 30-37 months apply.

Federal prosecutors believe she would get the full five years under sentencing guidelines.

Why am I so cynical? Because her husband John Conyers just dropped his ACORN probe, stating (really) that "the powers that be" have decided against it.

"The powers that be"? Who on earth could that mean? He's chairman of his committee. Who, exactly, outranks him on this?

So John Conyers gives up his (already half-hearted) probe into Obama's pet community organizing group just as his wife is up for sentencing by prosecutors who answer to Barack Obama.

Would he be that brazen? He could. I don't know if he will be that brazen, but he could. It's certainly not beyond his Chicago Way character.

He's firing IG's investigating his allies, after all, despite the fact he co-sponsored a bill sharply limiting the president's authority to do so.

Something tells me that the prosecutors will decide, in light of Monica Conyers' long-time service to the people of Detroit (ahem), to ask for only three months of jailtime. The rest will be probation or at-home monitoring.


Thanks to AHFF Geoff.

1 My money says we'll learn that Monica Conyers was acting as an undercover agent in order to infiltrate the nefarious sludge-hauling cartel.  Not only will she not go to jail but she'll receive some sort of award; I think the Presidential Medal of Freedom would be appropriate.

This is a great story for an investigative journalist to build his career on: abuse of power, quid-pro-quo involving all three branches of the federal government, plus money and power. As fine an example of the Chicago way of government as you can imagine.

Of course, said journalist would probably be found floating face down in Lake St Clair. Because that, too, is the Chicago way.

I must be more cynical than you... I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't get any jail time because of all the suffering she's already had to endure.

ref  the ACORN deal and the "The powers that be" OK maybe it's not related but that is one weird explanation of why he's dropping the probe.

OT But retards on the floor are still having a slap fight over C+P. 

From Malkins blog:

4:05pm: Excellent exchange between chair and GOP Rep. Louis Gohmert. He asks for a physical copy of the 300-page-plus late-night amendment filed out of public view. Chair cannot tell him where one is. Rules him out of order for not making parliamentary inquiry. Chair stumped.

Barton asks chair if there is any rule requiring copy of bill being voted on to be nearby. Chair: Not that I’m aware of.

Barton asks if official copy is necessary to be at desk for final vote.

Chair says it’s at the desk. Barton says it’s not the official copy. Markey tells him to go to the cloakroom and look it up on the web.

Markey says the full bill and manager’s amendment is on the desk.

Chair rules that all the piles of paper at the desk “in effect” are an “official copy.”

WHO’S ON FIRST?

So what? She took a $6,000 bribe on a $1.2 billion sludge contract. That's only 0.0005% of the cost of the contract. Negligible.

23 My local paper, the Houston Chronicle, carried the Monica Conyers story for about 2 hours (ten minutes of which was in a prominent location on the website, the rest buried), and then spiked it altogether. Never even mentioned the John Conyers story.

25 Oh, The Won might ask for only 3 months.

The Won might also try throwing the book at her - show that they're tough on crime and corruption, and that favoritism plays no role in Holder's Justice Department.

What's Conyers gonna do? reopen an investigation that he's already walked away from and look like a chump? risk having the wife confined in a SUPERMAX facility?

30 My prediction, for what it's worth:

She's going to jail for 48 months, minimum.  Avern Cohn, the judge, has an iron disposition. He's intellectually muscular and he doesn't cotton to bad behavior (or ill-prepared attorneys) at all.  He can be brutal, in a league few judges can match. BRUTAL.  I don't care what the prosecutors recommend, he's going to make up his own mind, and Mrs. Conyers' behavior isn't going to settle well with him.  My impressions of him have been that he embraces public (i.e., governmental) service as a laudable ideal, so Monica's behavior will have struck at the very core of his beliefs.  I suspect she won't just get sentenced; he'll have some exceptionally choice words for her at her sentencing.

31 Don't be so sure about MonCon getting off here.  That corruption in the D has gotten so bad that even the citizens of the city are getting fed up says quite a bit.  MonCon is generally regarded as a disgrace, even among the other members of the City Council.  Given King Kwame's recent slap on the wrist and subsequent escape to a mansion in Texas (not that Detroit isn't grateful to Texans for taking him) the patience of folks in the area with corrupt politricksters is waning.  This might just be the fad for the moment, wildly indignant self righteousness about "CORRUPTION", and I wouldn't be surprised if in a year it's business as usuall in Detroit once again.  Still, for the time being, if she gets off, there will be ALOT of angry people.

Also, the Detroit News is saying theres video of her singing the praises of some pawn shop owner who is alleged to have given her and a few other council members a few thousand dollars worth of jewelry and fur coats and other things of that nature...

Obviously, you do not spend time on the insane conspiracy websites. "The powers that be," or TPTB, are those that are involved in the New World Order, or one world government. They're the ones that are wrecking our lives at the moment. 

In other words, John Conyers got a call from one of the Illuminati. Or a Bilderberger.

34 Well, given the current situation in Detroit, she may get some actual jail time.  I'm betting she gets two years and is out in 9 months or so.

Anyway, Charlie LeDuff has a "Travels With Charlie" column in which he described some contacts with Monica and ended by saying that while he wants to hold her feet to the fire, as a human being he feels really, really sorry for her. 

I emailed him pointing out that this sort of attitude is one of the reasons so many politicians get a pass. Here's his reply.

"Relax <Jorg>.
She's done. I hounded her. We all hounded her. And i notice no mail from you when i expose the fact that the Detroit cops are hiding murders. how bout that one. how bout some credit sometimes and a little less complaining.
Or you come do the job."
with warm regards, Charlie"

When did columnists become so thin-skinned? Before the election I emailed another Freep columnist mentioning that the MSM in general seemed to be a bit in the tank for Obama, and he carped all over the place.

Others suppose that there is a single Oyster watch. But as a matter of fact, the name Oyster does not actually meant for a rolex Watches particular watch you can buy rolex watches or even to a series but to a type of case that available in some of the Rolex ranges. History The Oyster case was first released in 1926. The objective was to protect the workings of the watch from dust and moisture. Early watches were far from waterproof. The Oyster tag heuer Watchescase was an tag heuer watches innovative design to eliminate these problems. It had a new double locking crown that screwed into place. It has been compared to the hatch on a submarine. Like a submarine, the Oyster case was waterproof. In 1927 Mercedes Gleitze swam the English breitling Watches Channel breitling watches . Before she set off she was presented with a Rolex Oyster. When she arrived, the watch was still working perfectly. The resulting publicity gave the new case a massive boost. Why is it called Oyster? Legend has it that Hans cartier Watches Wilsdorf cartier watches, who invented the Oyster, chose the name because the new case reminded him of the difficulty he had experienced prising open oysters at dinner.
