Things aren’t looking good for Rep. John Conyers, as there have been as many as five accusers who have reportedly come forward, and word is that plenty of people have seen the congressman in his underwear, as they catch him changing clothes in his office.
Wait, what?
That second detail has caught a lot of attention. A former spokesperson for Conyers said what?
Former Conyers spox Bob Weiner tells cameras outside Conyers office:
"He changes clothes in his office. Most of us have walked in on him changing his clothes
… and have seen him in his underwear. Big deal!"— Kasie Hunt (@kasie) November 28, 2017

So someone defending Conyers is making the point that, of course, his staffers have seen him nearly nude, as he often changes his clothes in the office with the door apparently unlocked. Walking in on him while he was undressed was just part of the job, see?
I forgot to say Weiner said this is because Conyers' closet is inside his congressional office https://t.co/AeyhFr2FlL

You’re not going to trust the word of Bob Weiner?

Will y'all promise me that if I ever get accused of anything and this guy looks like he is about to defend me that you'll take him out before he gets in front of the cameras? I'd do it for you. https://t.co/sgygbCPQ8p

I hope an intrepid reporter, as opposed to a well-paid stenographer, looks to see if his office door has a lock on it. And even if not, after the 1st time walked in on, should have made sure there was no second time. https://t.co/Fver1NPf0R

Maybe knock or lock the door? https://t.co/Vue1gBUFY8

Do people in that office just not knock? https://t.co/S6lQY4P2ko
