Might be best to take this with a grain of salt, but it’s starting to really not look good for John Conyers — despite his “icon” status:
JUST IN: Multiple sources tell NBC News there are ongoing conversations among Democrats concerning Rep. Conyers' future in Congress.

Ongoing conversations?
What is there to discuss? https://t.co/nKbQ5sVA87

Great question. At this point, the Conyers case seems pretty cut-and-dry, no?

Former Conyers’ aide is telling reporters – I’m not making this up – that Conyers often changed in his office & staffers walked in on him while he was changing.

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
these dicks can't change in an appropriate bathroom or at home like a normal person, but democrats want them in charge of your medicals. https://t.co/syfgZEXg6t

The longer the Democrats keep Conyers around, the more painful that thorn in their sides becomes.

Bizarre move by Democrats to split the baby by moving against Conyers but going quiet on Franken.
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) November 28, 2017
Well, here’s one explanation:
Franken is a white icon.
Conyers…isn't.
I mean…that is the take home point, right? https://t.co/DpFpDUOVDA
