I guess We should be surprised that Rangel has even been forced to a stand trial before a panel of 4 Democrats and 4 Republicans, but I am convinced the Republicans will most likely cave in and let Rangel off. If for no other reason then because they will not want to be called racists.

No. Should he run for re-election he will win in a landslide. The problem is the values and ethics of a voting majority of people in his district.

I predict he will eventually resign for “health reasons” and have to pay a fine for his misdeeds

Article Ping!

Will Charles Rangel be forced from Congress, or will the four Republicans on the ethics panel find him innocent during his trial before them?....

This goes far beyond some House ethics panel investigation. Charlie Rangel needs to be arraigned and indicted in front of a federal judge for felony tax evasion. The people deserve nothing less.

You make a valid point. He could very well decide to to run fore re-election, but he should be convicted. What’s the chances of getting a change of venue to ohhh... lets say San Antonio TX and have the public try him instead of a couple of retired congressmen?

The Democrats are brilliant! Now that most people are confused about what really happened with Shirley Sherrod vs the evil Fox News and Andrew Breitbart, All media attention will move to 24/7 on Charlie Rangel. Democrats bringing their to task, aren’t they great. Look for this hit and run strategy, keeping the public confused, all the way to election time.

Yeah, but last time I checked the whites in America are real tired of this race card and it is beginning to back fire big time on them.

But you make a good point. After all, the MSM is not John Q public and regardless of what we think they will continue doing what their masters tell them to do.

That’s wishful thinking. Nothing will happen because of this. The only time one of these ethics committees has ever done anything was Democrat Jim Trafficant. He was only ousted because every now and then he had the courage to call out his loony colleagues on the left.

Yep. He’s a Democrat. Nothing will happen and he will be re-elected in a landslide victory. He has nothing to fear.
