If the Democrat leadership won’t kick out a Klu Klux Klan member (Sen Bird D-WV) or a man who committed manslaughter while drunk driving on a suspended license while committing an affair then trying to cover it up (Sen Kennedy D-MA), do you really think they would care about a measly 600,000 dollars?
Charlie Rangel, the perennial winner of the "Susan Estrich Sound-a-like Contest."
Rangel must be happy that the news has an excuse to ignore this.
More than likely Pelosi will be demanding an investigation of the people who had the audacity to investigate a Marxist African-American Demrat.
seems as if a wind storm has hit the house of cards
Kennedy's death should provide cover for a week or so, but now its time for another Larry Craig/Mark Sanford incident to be milked once congress returns. maybe Hillary's fundraising issues will be exploited and she'll resign.
he used Weird Al Franken’s accountant who used Geithner’s
tax software...
I guess he finally remembered to look in the freezer...
Perhaps our fine, upstanding attorney general will even hire a special prosecutor to look into this obvious case of racial discrimination against a fine man like “representative” Rangel.
“A fair trial followed by a first class hangin’”
Good point. Many crocks full o’ crap uttered on the left, across time. We try to forget, but they come back to haunt us..
Ahhh, so it does add up - in the world of which you speak...

Six Democratic members of Congress enjoyed a Caribbean junket sponsored by Citigroup after Congress had approved the $700 billion bailout of financial services firms in October.
The National Legal and Policy Center, a watchdog group, has asked Neil Barofsky, the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, for a formal review of the Citigroup’s sponsorship of the trip by House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel and five others. The NLPC says the trip violated House rules.
The purported purpose of the Nov. 6-9 junket was to attend the Caribbean Multi-Cultural Business Conference on the island of St. Maarten, but “the primary purpose of attending for most participants appeared to be to take a vacation,” according to the NLPC, which had a representative at the event.
The NLPC said in a statement: “The ‘lead sponsor’ was Citigroup, which contributed $100,000. Citigroup was certainly aware that it would be a major recipient of bailout funds. It was also aware that its fortunes had become increasingly reliant on Congressional actions.

“”In addition to Rangel, other members of Congress who attended were Donald Payne of New Jersey, Sheila Jackson-Lee of Texas, Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick of Michigan, Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, and Donna Christensen, the delegate to the House from the United States Virgin Islands””
