"[Conyers?] staff members picked up 60 turkeys from a local food bank,
ostensibly to deliver to those in need. However, the Director of the
charity became suspicious when word reached him that a federal court
worker was offered a turkey by a member of Conyers? staff. Conyers has
also failed to meet a December 27 deadline to provide an accounting of
where the birds were delivered? [an] aide also expressed concerns in a
memo to the FBI?

...Conyers, of course, is no stranger to scandal. The Democrat was
investigated last year by the Ethics Committee for improperly using
staff members during office hours for political campaigning. DeWayne
Boyd, a former aide fired in 2002, was convicted just last month on
fraud charges resulting from a scam he ran out of the Representative?s
office? the turkeys (meant to feed hungry poor people), were picked up
from the food bank by current Deputy Thief of Staff Marion Brown, and
former Aide turned felon, DeWayne Boyd. The very same Boyd fired in 2002
and convicted in December."
