Unless the GOPers have similar crimes that they don't want to see the light of day.

I think there will always be a certain percentage (11% ?) that will answer the question in whatever way they think will get rid of the pollster quicker.

Sure they can! Besides being a bunch of spineless scumbags they have 'skin in the game'.

Any lawyers out there....so what if Congress doesn’t try him, shouldn’t he be charged on plain ol’ federal charges, and tried in federal court like anybody else?

Fred Thompson stated yesterday that any deal would require at least one GOP ethics com. member to agree...and then a 2/3 vote in congress. If that’s true, I will be watching very carefully to see which republicans enable this to happen.

This means that there was one committee Repubic that consented to this dirty deal. Soooo dumb! Why not hold out for the trial and make political hay?

How many times? There is always one so-called conservative i.e. (R) that goes along to keep the oligarchy/elites in power. Pls tell me what other democracy on this planet is more corrupt than this nation. So which one took the sword for the corrupt "Two-Party Cartel".

Just a general question, could not the renters of NYC file a class action lawsuit against the Rangel estate for the inflated cost of housing due to his consumption of 4 rent subsidized apartments? Not a lawyer, but shoosh, I would love to see somebody in NYC sue the fat bastard.

nail on head.

The GOP are noting but spineless cowards who will not mention to the public about how the media are corrupt, how obama is making this country go far left, etc, Hell they can’t even mention how the homosexual agenda is being pushed into our school or can’t even mention that agenda at all.

They GOP are pathetic who are just as bad with PC as the far left and it is all because they think they will be called a name and then targeted by the far left.
Much easier for them to say nothing and get elected again

He's going to be Shirley Sherrod's assistant at the USDA covering civil rights?

Is he going to sue Breitbard too?

Eric Holder's DOJ has been pretty busy fighting race cowardice lately, signs point to no effing way.

That sounds a bit unrealistic, but even a simple complaint through normal channels could get this guy in hot water with the NYC rent control board or whatever agency oversees the process. Abuse of the rules governing rent-controlled properties like this could constitute fraud at a local level, regardless of what Congress thinks.

This is outrageous and UNACCEPTABLE! What kind of deal would the “We the People” have gotten? The raw deal is what...

I’d say it is raining down on us like oily flaming acid-rain.

Only you can feel your pain.

We are the punished.

But does that deal include his resignation as a congressman? And can the ethics committee prevent criminal prosecution?
