Panel hits Rangel with 13 alleged ethics charges
Submitted by meekandmild on Thu, 07/29/2010 - 16:15WASHINGTON – House investigators accused veteran New York Rep. Charles Rangel of 13 violations of congressional ethics standards on Thursday, throwing a cloud over his four-decade political career and raising worries for fellow Democrats about the fall elections.
The allegations — which include failure to report rental income from vacation property in the Dominican Republic or more than $600,000 in other income on his congressional financial disclosure statements — came as lawyers for Rangel and the House ethics committee worked on a plea deal.
One was struck, people familiar with the talks said, but Republicans indicated it might be too late.

Show trial, sometimes they eat their own
as part of a ritual sacrifice.
Rangel just happened to be the ripest, fattest, juiciest spring pig they could smoke.

He's certainly no more corrupt than all but a few of them.
Rangel is pure trash: He just re-introduced HR 5741

He wants this because a the amount of poor people that end up
