John Conyers
Conyers said “after careful consideration and in light of the attention drawn by recent allegations made against me, I have notified the Democratic Leader of my request to step aside as Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee during the investigation of these matters.”
He however made it known that he still wanted to keep his post. Conyers said “to be clear, I would like very much to remain as Ranking Member.”
The two men have used a different approach but are hoping for the same result. Franken and Conyers don’t want to lose their positions.
“I have come to believe that my presence as Ranking Member on the Committee would not serve these efforts while the Ethics Committee investigation is pending,” he said. “I cannot in good conscience allow these charges to undermine my colleagues in the Democratic Caucus, and my friends on both sides of the aisle in the Judiciary Committee and the House of Representatives.”
When it came to the sexual allegations many believed that it was all a plan to undermine the political system.
Men from both Parties had faced some form sexual allegations so the issue wasn’t one sided.
