71. After considering the phenomenon carefully, I have come to the

conclusion that some of our most relevant dems are being threatened. Conyers' backdown is hard to decipher any other way. I saw Bush's first Sec of the Treasury on Charlie Rose after he had written a tell all book and he explained to Rose that he was well-to-do and old so he had nothing to fear. However, he never was heard from again after that interview. I am confident that his grandchildren that he spoke so lovingly of were threatened the very next day. There seems to be no other explanation for Conyers; he was too on top of this whole situation. They ignored him and relegated him to the basement until he was chairman.
