Update: After bizarrely denying that allegations of sexual harassment ever led him to agree to a settlement with a former staffer, Conyers has finally confirmed that the documents published last night by Buzzfeed are authentic.

However, that's about all the ground Conyers is willing to give. Because in the same statement, he denied that he ever sexually harassed staffers, according to the Washington Post.

“I expressly and vehemently denied the allegations made against me, and continue to do so,” Conyers said Tuesday in a formal statement, his first since BuzzFeed reported details of the settlement late Monday.

from the main article:

In 2014, a former Conyers staffer filed a complaint claiming she was fired for refusing his sexual advances, and that she had been subsequently blackballed from working with Congress.

The woman received a $30,000 settlement, which was paid out of Conyers’s taxpayer-funded office budget.

OK, what's their game?

Their game is deciding who they can sacrifice, then turn around and demand Trump do the same.

The game is to send these allegations off to the "Ethics Committee" to quietly die, which of course is the purpose of the "Ethics Committee".

There are too many.  The Republicans can demand the Dems give up 20 for one Roy Moore.
