Rangel Found to Have Violated Multiple Ethics Rules - NYTimes.com


Break the rules pay the price , what an asshole



A House ethics panel has convicted Representative Charles B. Rangel of 12 of the 13 ethics violations he faced.

Mr. Rangel, an 80-year-old Democrat who has represented Harlem for four decades and was the longtime head of the House Ways and Means Committee, had been accused of bringing dishonor to Congress by accepting rent-stabilized apartments from a Manhattan developer, failing to pay taxes on a rental income from his Dominican villa and raising charitable donations from companies and corporate executives who had business before the committee he led.

Power doesn't corrupt. It just shows the corruption already in the people holding it. People corrupt power.

Glad to see TM isn't defending him. I guess the guilty verdict is good evidence against him.
 
it will be interesting to see what happens when this goes to the full House for action. Will they try to determine his punishment during the lame duck session (and the Democrat majority possibly issue a lighter punishment) or defer to the new Congress when the Republicans take over?
 
So now what? Will he be expelled?

WTF would anyone vote for a politican under indictment? Happened here as well; we had a county judge the feds had indicted in the Public Corruption Probe receive over 100,000 votes. She was damned near re-elected.

Is this just something Democratic voters do?

Anyway, the US Attorney where Rangel has those rent-controlled apartments someone "gave" him and he "forgot" to pay taxes on the income from needs to gear up a prosecution as well.

A pox on each and every politican who accepts bribes and sells us out. We should make sending them to prison a higher priority.

You may be the only one who thinks that. But Charlie has nothing to worry about really, being found guilty of a crime is a Democrat resume enhancer.

One would think so, Mad Scientist. Jim Traficant was the last House member to be expelled; only months after he was released from prison, there were calls around here to re-elect him. Bizarre-o.....but that's the Democratic Party of Ohio for ya.

There's a name for this kind of criminal activity: M-o-b.

Let's start a pool to see who comes closest to the exact time that Charlie Rangle will play the race card.
 
Well he's found guilty.

Can he be prosecuted??

Sure hope so.

If he gets kicked out of Congress he'll just retire and live the life of riley.

He does have that golden parachute provided by we the taxpayer.

Wonder if that retirement package can be recinded?? Sure hope so.
 
The panel will recommend a punishment, then the full ethics panel will have to convene a sanctions hearing to decide whether to agree to the recommended punishment or determine another one. Serious sanctions — including formal reprimand, censure or expulsion — require a vote on the House floor. Expulsion requires a two-thirds vote, while a reprimand, which Rangel refused to agree to in July, or a censure would need just a simple majority.

congress will issue a rebuke....he will serve out his term and then harlem will re-elect him....

his battle against the irs for not paying taxes will be more interesting...

So you are saying the hypocrites who condemned him are also assholes. As long as you understand they all do the same thing with PAC money, your mind will have a clear conscious.:eusa_angel:
