Rep. John Conyers' wife to be sentenced on Wednesday

Rep. John Conyers' wife Monica is the former president of the Detroit City Council. Last year she pleaded guilty of conspiring to commit bribery.

Conyers, a Democrat, has not been implicated in any of his wife's crimes, is the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. She is scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday, prosecutors are recommending a 46-57 prison sentence.

Oddly, this story is being overlooked even by conservatives--except of course in Michigan.

Conyers has served in Congress for 45 years.

That young lady was something else. She liked to act out, but sad that she may be sentenced to prison for a long time. I feel for that, but I also know that for what she did, it definitely doesn't pay.
