Charlie Rangel To Face House Ethics Charges
— DrewM

Most ethical Congress ever!

A House investigative committee on Thursday charged New York Rep. Charles Rangel with multiple ethics violations, a blow to the former Ways and Means chairman and an election-year headache for Democrats.

The committee did not immediately specify the charges against the Democrat, who has served in the House for some 40 years and is fourth in House seniority. The announcement by a four-member panel of the House ethics committee sends the case to a House trial, where a separate eight-member panel of Republicans and Democrats will decide whether the violations can be proved by clear and convincing evidence.

The timing of the announcement ensures that it will stretch into the fall campaign, and Republicans are certain to make it an issue as they try to capture majority control of the House. Speaker Nancy Pelosi had once promised to "drain the swamp" of ethical misdeeds by lawmakers in arguing that Democrats should be in charge.


There is a conservative Republican running in the district but it's what? 105% or so Democratic?

I doubt the charges will hurt Rangel in the general election, he'll use it to rally the troops against those SOBs in DC trying to destroy him.

In an interesting twist Rangel does face a primary challenge this September from Adam Clayton Powell IV. Powell's father, Adam Clayton Powell Jr., was the man Rangel unseated to win the seat about 100 years ago. The elder Powell was a longtime member of Congress whom the Democrats refused to seat after the '66 elections because of corruption charges. Powell then won the special election to fill the vacancy and sat in the House until Rangel beat him the 1970 primary.

So, we've seen this movie before.

40 I have a confession...As a political junkie I have a soft spot for Rangel and old school pols like him. He's like the last of the old school NY machine pols come to life from the history books.

There's something charmingly anachronistic about a guy who really doesn't get what the big deal is about some corruption here and there. He's been a Congressman forever and he's owed a little.

He's so unapologetic and seemingly confused by the fuss, it's hysterical.

This is a guy who has lived and been in a job too long and the world changed while he didn't. Sure there's still lots of corruption but there are now ways to be subtler about it but there's nothing subtle about Charlie Rangel.

Don't get me wrong...he's a disgrace and belongs in jail. And that's the way this kind of story has to end. He'll never be defeated at the ballot box and he'll never retire. Guys like him have to be marched out in cuffs or carried out on a stretcher.

93 Corruption?  How about a little more with a side of wealth distribution and a tall glass of repeating mistakes:

Deep in the bowels of Donk (DOdd-fraNK Financial abomination bill, whose 2315 pages nobody has read in their entirety), in Title XII: IMPROVING ACCESS TO MAINSTREAM FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, section 1205 is a provision titled "Low-cost alternatives to payday loans" in which the government outlines its plans for establishing what is essentially a payday loan advance business. Does this mean the government is going into the business of direct lending and bypassing the stingy banks completely? As payday loans tend to be the most usurious of all short-term credit instruments for the lower classes, will the government's intervention into this most recent arena result in the obliteration of the existing business model for payday lenders? But far more importantly, will the government use this platform as a means to provide cash to virtually anyone in exchange for shoddy collateral and mere promises to repay the loan? And nowhere in the text is it said the loans are even collateralized with something like a deferred paycheck

Boned we are.

I think that's what the deal is. Rangel and the Dems. would rather get it over and done with before they lose the house. This way they can give him a half-assed slap on the wrist and sweep it under the rug. If the Repubs. are in charge maybe they'd make a big show and stick it to him and maybe even drag some other crooks into it.

105 I was told there'd be no math.

I think you were thinking of a Barney Frank post!

106 And if any of you think Rangel is going to serve one day behind bars you I have some slightly used foreclosed houses for sale.  Some even still have the copper pipes in them!

There is no reason for the Ethics Panel to be comprised of anyone other than citizens without political connections. These dirt bags work for us and we should have the ability to review their scumbaggery without the cover up that happens when their buds vouch for their character and deny citizens the right to redress.

109 OT: Oh no you don't! PC officials order Punch to calm down and swap his whacking stick for a fluffy mop

111 When you say Charlie Rangel could rape Mother Theresa and still get elected, is that rape-rape or just rape? Or maybe a Dodd-waitress-Kennedy sandwich?

Today, the Washington based PC Police ordered Superman to wear a apron to cover up his protruding manhood, a personal affront to most liberal men who were only born with wee-wee's versus the much maligned conservative cock.

only born with wee-wee's versus the much maligned revered conservative cock.

115 Just turned on the TV, to Luke Russert asking Charlie a question (yeah, NBC Nightly News, with an MSNBC reporter). Didn't catch the question, but Charlie's first question was "what network are you working for?". He appeared shocked when he didn't say Fox. Instead, he said, "NBC, huh, well you look kinda young, I suppose you need to make a name for yourself. You should know it's a stupid question, and I'm not going to answer it". Luke persisted, but Charlie was also adamant about not answering. "I remember NBC used to have a little more respect."

You just KNOW it was Fox he was expecting to hear. It broke his heart that it was NBC. I'm kinda shocked myself.

Maybe the tide is turning a little. Hope I can find the whole thing.

Agreed.

121 They are not eating their own. they are simply going to milk this for the theatre: See, we told you that we would stop at nothing to root out corruption to make this the most ethical congress in history.

Rangel is a tool and now he's going to serve his purpose.
