An attorney representing U.S. Rep. John Conyers says an announcement is forthcoming on a Detroit radio talk show as the congressman deals with allegations of sexual harassment by former staff members.

Arnold Reed tweeted Monday afternoon that he has concluded his “talks with Congressman Conyers” and that the announcement will be made Tuesday morning.

Any guesses about the content of the announcement?

Doesn't seem like the type of setting to announce retirement.

Seems like the type of setting to so you aren't going anywhere

Due to stress related issues brought on by the witch hunt brought against me, I will need to resign my position to tend to my health.

I think he is beyond giving a frick if they want him gone.

I hope he goes scorched earth on Franken and others.

Conyers is announcing he's running for President in 2020.

He said he wasn't stepping down.

Also, if someone would kindly drop a baby-grand piano on his uber-arrogant attorney, that would be fine with me.

My vote: While some of the charges are exaggerated, etc., I am sorry for [insert a mild indiscretion] and therefore I will not seek re-election after my term is up.

My guess attorney looking for camera time and too be defiant and say he was elected by voters and will continue to serve until the voters do not elect him.

Reasonable guess, although defiance didn't work so well for the POS attorney defending the illegal in SF. Different situation here, but defiance ain't likely to work well in THIS political environment. That's MY guess!

I give him a 10% chance of resigning.
90% chance of him digging his heels in, declaring all of his accusers racists, and making the whole thing about race.

It's what they do.

Yeah it's a radio show with his attorney.

If he was announcing retirement he would be getting the political courtesies I believe, at least a podium and seal.

Here he seems to be on his own and a radio show is covering.
