House Censures Charles Rangel; Ex-Ways and Means Chair DID Profit From Corruption

Did he pay back taxes, penalties and interest?

While the IRS won’t disclose, he should be required to answer and also prove payment.

We have also assembled other information that we have not made public

I'm hoping the NLPC will release every detail they've collected as a result of their investigation, and you're right about the rent controlled apt, he profited from it.

Before today I had little respect for Peter King R-NY. Now, after seeing King defend Rangel’s lawlessness, I have none.

King actually defended Rangel?

For the Elites it's always "Us vs. Them." No wonder Charlie looked so smug for someone who should have been worried about being locked up for the rest of his damned life. Same with Maxine Waters.

We can also assume King must have skeletons in his own closet that need to remained locked.

Dis you notice how the House members first voted for the amendment and again when they voted for the censure the chairman took an oral vote and both times said it was his ‘opinion’ that the amendment passed and that the vote for censure failed. Both times he was proven wrong and by a very wide margin. Interesting how the rules allow for that bastard to try and hijack the vote based on his ‘opinion’.

They should have sprayed him down with engine degreaser before letting him in the house!

Rep. Gohmert, R., TX. is doing a pretty good job of it now on CSPAN.

Yes, I was watching it live and the Chair (don't know who it was) was pathetic, it was obvious he was wrong.

I had a video of Murtha pulling the same thing and I couldn't find it but just googled and got it. It's an OUTRAGE!

Yes, I did notice that sit-in "speaker" getting away with murder in calling verbal votes for Rangel, when they were clearly audibly against Rangel.

Furthurmore, where is ethics action on dirty Reid? He used $3300 in campaign funds to buy Christmas gifts, for example. There are Tribe Bribes documented. There is a FR who authored a book on Reids criminality...

[Cheetahcat]

Man the liberals got sold a bag of crap in this guy.

[Humidston]

As he wept and mopped his weary eyes with his silken hankie, he felt so demoralized and beaten down....

*sob*

RULING CLASS BUMP

[FrankR]

Hi-dee, Hi-dee, Hi-dee, HO...

[South40]

King actually defended Rangel?

Yes he did; I watched the entire thing on C-APAN. King also said he would vote NO on the censure.

[unixfox]

Censure is nothing but a word. Nothing more.

Our ENTIRE govt. is as corrupt as the Mexican drug lords.

[jazusamo]

There is now a 4:10 minute video of Pelosi and Rangel in this NLPC article:

House Votes to Censure Rep. Charles Rangel

Charlie lies.

[Conservative Tsunami]

He was one of the two Pubbies voting "no"? Et tu, Peter King?
