And crooks and thieves still living large on taxpayer's money!
The panel also ordered Rangel to pay restitution of any unpaid taxes
He apologized for any embarrassment he has caused and stressed that he would like the panel to acknowledge that he never sought any personal gain and is not corrupt. Rangel also lashed out the press.
“What the press has done to me and my family is totally unfair and they will continue to call me a crook and call me corrupt,” he said.
Rangel, the 80-year-old, 20-term House veteran, admitted some fault in his initial statement to the panel, but added: "I had no intent to evade or avoid the law."
