    The American public has paid for the special counsel’s report & they deserve to see it. They deserve to know whether or not their president is a crook. However, I fear Trump & Barr may try & stop the public from seeing the report.

    . what has happened to Cyntoia Brown is a complete miscarriage of justice. I urge you to reconsider her 51 year sentence and grant her clemency.

    Sad to learn of Roy Hargrove’s passing. He brought the artistry of Jazz to an entire generation in the 90’s. Your family is in our prayers.

    Not sure if you understand that @NancyPelosi in 2008 destroyed Bill HR 40 and civil rights Icon . HR 40 had been bought to the floor every years since 1989 until was elected. The same year they passed DACA!

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
