Reply #21: I disagree. While I have great respect for John Conyers, he is bringing it on himself when [View All]

he leads the crowd in chants of "Impeach," makes promises if the activists can bring him the co-sponsors, and then backs out of what he led people to believe he would do.

This isn't blindsiding, grandstanding (maybe on Conyers part, in terms of the chants) or underhanded. It's actually kind of sad.

Here is this lion of Congress setting himself up to look like he's a bullshitter.

Conyers suggested the backstage meeting, after all. He could have have said Sept 10Th, my office.

I felt the piece conveyed the sadness of the situation. I assume the OP is telling events as they saw them unfold, I have no reason to believe they are making it up.

What I would like Conyers to answer, is just what great tragedy he believes would befall the Dems, the Congress or the country in the event that an impeachment inquiry takes place? Shouldn't "follow the evidence" be a good dictum?
