In letters sent separately to the House Ethics Committee, the FBI, and the US Attorney's office by two former aides of Conyers, they alleged that Conyers repeatedly violated House ethics rules. The aides allege that Conyers used his staff to work on several local and state campaigns and forced them to baby-sit and chauffeur his children [2]. In late December 2006, Conyers "accepted responsibility" for possibly violating House rules. A statement issued December 29, 2006 by the House Ethics Committee Chairman Doc Hastings (R-Wash.) and Ranking Minority Member Howard Berman (D-Calif.), said that Conyers acknowledged what he characterized as a "lack of clarity" in his communications with staff members regarding their official duties and responsibilities, and accepted responsibility for his actions.
Hmmm, so I read the wikipedia article on Conyers....seems like a good man to me. And then you add that little blurb up above? Hardly seems relevant in comparison to all the other positive things he's done. By the way, he is NOT the president, isn't that who we're talking about here??
Not in a murder trial. It's way, way, way too late in the day to aim for impeachment.
Way to late for impeachment, Bring Bush up on charges of murder would only make the next knucklehead hesitate to take action in an emergency which could cost us in the end. Bush was wrong in occupying Iraq but he didn't do it alone, we have been wrong before and we will be agian someday.

Trying to prove that Conyers should be impeached due to this, vs. what Bush should be impeached for is like comparing the height of Gary Coleman vs. Shaq.
Because they believed what he was telling them, as did most of us.
As for "others in the administration saying it's not true..." more than enough said, sadly.
Where have you been? The Downing Street Memos have been discredited years ago!
The info was from a copy (the originals were destroyed) so it is hearsay.
