HE NEEDS TO RESIGN!!
How many rats have called for his resignation?
I wonder what the CBC got to let this go down? Last time they folded (welfare reform) they got free mortgages for all (CRA expansion). When they give up something, they get something. The only question is what?
Gee,
Hope they are hanging offenses.
Will he do any time?
mmm mmm mmm
It’s over here now!
MSNBC and the AP are both deeply saddened.
Well, it looks like 45 comments out of 45 think this is meaningless, and he’ll get off with no penalty.
Still, I think it’s remarkable that they’ve brought this before the Ethics Committee at all.
Will this run over into the fall election period? Or will they manage to get it over with during the summer doldrums? We’ll see.
Oh my!
I’ll bet ol’ Charlie will look really good in orange.
I predict Ole Charlie will be resigned....sooner, rather than later.
Or a slap on the cheek.
Yes, I agree. He’ll just disappear. I’m sure they have somebody equally awful if not worse lined up to take his place, otherwise the Dems on the panel would never have agreed to this.
agreed
Cool! Just in time for the elections.
A headline like this used to get me excited...sad to say, not anymore...nothing will come of it imho...just another “no evidence of wrongdoing”...
He will get a slap on the wrist. They are clearing the table for something else coming down the pike. I get the feeling that something big is fixing to break and it’s not gonna be good for the dems. It’s just a woman’s intution thing.
THE RANGEL SWINDLE
(1) Took a “homestead” tax deduction meant for year-round DC residents - though he legally resides in New York.
(2) Rangel paid no taxes on his luxe property in the Caribbean;
(3) Has four rent-stabilized apartments (one is a campaign office);
(4) Improperly stored his car in a House parking garage;
(5) The NY Times reported oil-drilling businessman Eugene Isenberg made a $1 million pledge toward building The Rangel School for Public Service at City College of New York. Rangel later preserved a controversial offshore tax loophole that saved millions for Isenberg’s company. The Isenberg-Nabors deal is, potentially, far more serious: It reeks of a quid pro quo between Rangel’s official duties and fund-raising for his personal project. The Times reported that Rangel held meetings the same day, at the same hotel, with Isenberg to discuss the CCNY project and then with Nabors’ chief lobbyist on the tax loophole.
(6) Took free trips sponsored by corporate lobbyists.
(7) Can Rangel prove where he spent $2 million from Congressional allocations, plus another $700,000 from the Dept of HUD) that went to the tax-exempt Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service?
Bush made him do it .
Bush made him do it .
