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.

Not that we mind watching them squirm, of course.

Update:
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
