“And the ethics committee will break out the wet noodle and lash him wildly. End of story.”

Yep. That’s probably all they will do or else they will be called racist.

Everything they do has a reason:

How long before this is spun into a story that everybody’s trying to bring down the founder of the Black Congressional Caucas because of race??

He definitely won’t lose his seat in the Congress.

Are you kidding? Once the investigation is over and the 'punishment' is handed down I expect Rangel will resume Ways and Means chairmanship.

Blah.

It sounds good on the face of it, but the charges will be deemed to be “racist” by the usual pot-stirrers, and nothing will happen.

These guys so full of their new entitled "black power", need to remember, with power comes accountability.
They may want to think about that.

Is he eligible for the death penalty? What does NY do to its criminals?

The DOJ will investigate to show they are not racist. Rangel will retire before this gets any traction, take his retirement pay and the money he stole and become a lobbyist and king maker for the next black harlem congressman.

who cares?

He won’t be punished and he’ll win re-election this fall.

This is nothing more than an interesting story.

They no longer get away with things without a world-wide
outing anyway.

The bumbling idiot is on TV now talking about how he “welcomes” this and hasn’t received the “Statement” yet.

What a pathetic individual.

He passed on a plea deal and now he’s acting as if he can explain it all away.

Can anyone tell me what difference this will make? Anyone?

Will he go to jail? No

Will he have to quit Congress? No.

Will he be forced out of the Ways and Means Committee? No.

Will he even be censured? No.

Does this BS mean ANY DAMN THING AT ALL? NO!

This just makes me madder than hell.
