Talk:John Conyers

sources

Article on another wiki: [1] Kevin Baas | talk 19:31, 2004 Dec 22 (UTC)

Additional Info

Conyers seems one of the most outspoken members of congress, openly supporting non-mainstream partisan positions. He has repeatedly suggested conspiracies involved in the outcome of the 2004 US presidential elections, and in June 2005 held a pretend impeachment hearing. Many other partisan political figures have a section detailing controversial quotes and inviting readers to come their own conclusions (see Ann Coulter's article, for example). Anyone have the resources to add a positions section in here?

Broke?

This website shows his net worth as being negative. How did John spend or lose his income over the years? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SChalice (talk • contribs) 20:21, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Latest allegation... To include or not include?

Perhaps I'm missing it, but I didn't see mention of the newest allegation in the article anywhere. The announcement of his retirement was added. https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/sexual-misconduct/conyers-allegations-ex-staffer-says-congressman-inappropriately-touched-her-n826561 As the newest set of allegations appears to be the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak, should it be included? 207.222.59.50 (talk) 16:52, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

In my opinion, it should be included in the Sexual Harassment allegation section. Abzeronow (talk) 18:07, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Janet Reno

Does anyone think it is worth it to mention the confrontation he had with Janet Reno over the Waco siege (during a House hearing)? I always thought that was interesting. (Since they were both of the same party.)Rja13ww33 (talk) 15:39, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
