Greektown developer Jim Papas testified that he gave Riddle $10,000 to share with Monica Conyers. Papas was looking for help in securing a letter from the congressman in support of his Romulus waste disposal well.
What did John Conyers know about the $10,000 pay-out? Was he told about the letter? And if he did know, could this be considered influence peddling by proxy?
Did John Conyers know his son's schooling came courtesy of a businessman courting his wife's vote? Did he get any benefit from the extra money his wife was taking in? Does he share an account with Monica Conyers?
We don't know because Conyers, who is notorious for dragging public officials before his committee to answer his questions, doesn't feel compelled to answer.
