To be clear, I would like very much to remain as Ranking Member. There is still much work to be done on core concerns like securing civil rights, enacting meaningful criminal justice reform, and protecting access to the ballot box.
These challenges could not be more pressing in the face of an Administration that cares little for the rule of law and a President whose actions and conduct cheapens our discourse every day.
But 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.
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.
I am proud and fortunate to be part of a legacy of more than 50 years of fighting for civil rights and making our country more equitable and just.
I’ll never allow that legacy – a legacy I owe to my father John Conyers, Sr., who integrated labor unions, or my two amazing sons John III & Carl and my loving wife Monica, and the extraordinary people of Detroit – to be cast aside, or these causes to be in any way diminished.
I am grateful to my colleagues who have called for due process before weighing judgment. I would urge them to continue to do so for any Member accused of wrongdoing. Basic fairness requires no less.
are you freaking kidding me??? #RuleOfLaw? Using campaigning funds to hush accusers, stop the hypocrisy #RESIGNpic.twitter.com/gkOMPp8aE2
Stop complaining about the @POTUS when you have your own problem with the rule of law
With all due respect sir, our current Potus is very much trying to get current laws enforced. It’s the corrupt govt which youre a part of thats the problem.
Things are NOT soo bad we need a sexual predator 'Fighting' for our rights. Those days are gone! You don't get to keep a job & use taxpayer dollars to cover up for your CRIMES!!
Rules of law? Please....what laws have you followed? People like you (50+) is why there should be term limits. Love my President Trump 
HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA
Again quit lying! I think you are running scared. Chickens coming home to roost?
Thinking that showing up in your underwear to a meeting cheapens a lot of discourse. no credibility, you're finished! LOL
Yeah you can't even be caught red-handed without trying to snipe at the POTUS. It is YOU who cheapens the causes you purport to represent, showing up for meetings in your underwear. We'll find out everything you lied about and make you a posterboy for sex abuse and LIARS.
If you are so concerned about Civil Rights, what about the civil right of the women you sexually harassed? Hypocrite. #Resign
