http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local-beat/Ethics-Panel-Finds-Charlie-Rangel-Broke-House-Rules-85425707.html Ethics Panel Finds Charlie Rangel Broke House Rules Updated 6:47 PM EST, Thu, Feb 25, 2010 An ethics panel has found that House Ways and Means Chairman, Charlie Rangel broke congressional rules, a source told the AP. Last year the House ethics committee expanded its investigation of Rangel to include his revisions to financial statements that revealed assets and income not previously reported. Earlier the Harlem Democrat had withstood a GOP sponsored resolution that called for Rangel to to surrender his chairmanship of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee. The ethics committee was also looking into Rangel’s use of multiple rent-stabilized apartments, his fundraising on behalf of the Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service at City College in New York, and his failure to pay taxes on a Dominican Republic vacation home. Rangel is also being investigated in a separate ethics committee probe of Caribbean trips in 2007-08 by five members of the Congressional Black Caucus. The committee has authorized nearly 150 subpoenas in the investigation of Rangel, has interviewed some 34 witnesses and reviewed more than 12,000 pages of documents. |

Sounds like he's pre-qualified to join the WH staff. |

You are right he is qualified to join the WH staff, but he will get re-elected in his district, no one ever runs against him. He even owned property in NJ near where I live, that he never declared. |

What is the Punishment? And why the timing? Yes, Rangel was front-and-center today. This finding would have been more helpful 5 hours ago. Is Nancy cleaning up "the Sewer?" The media is complicit. . Edited by Mason, Feb 25 2010, 07:56 PM.

I am guessing Bill O'Reilly and the rest of the hosts on FOX won't bring it up tonight either. I emailed it to Hannity a while ago. The only way I see it gets brought up is by a guest. |

Rangle should be in jail, not in the U.S. Congress. Nancy loves the guy. I remember when he was renting low rent apartments, meant for the poor, for his congressional offices. Nancy never cleaned anything in her life, let alone a sewer. |

Punishment? Heck, he'll probably win a cruise and a congressional medal. |

What will they say - nothing. Madame Speaker of the House has her own inimitable wya of ignoring any question she does not want to anwer or answering in such a way that the intent of the question is obscured beyond belief. Charlie Rangel is an out and out crook sho should be locked up with the likes of Bernie Madoff - both used the law illegally to profit for their own personal use. Rangel will get a pass only because he has friends in high places. |
