I was wondering how many of the Congresscritters that Rangel showered
with his largesse would either return the money or hand it over to
charity. My friend Carmen sent me this article:
I think many have already started that cleansing process

I wonder just what charities they blessed with this money and how those
charities are benefiting them. Wonder if the charities are manning
phone banks or employing friends of the Congressman in highly paid
positions. It doesn't say but that would be my next question. I would
also like to know why the 44 who have not returned the money or sent it
to charity can justify this to their constituents.

I am shocked, SHOCKED that such a champion of the downtrodden would
make these mistakes. I wonder if the investigation is just another
example of Fox News picking on a black man. We all know how easy it
is to "overlook" that occasional 40K extra we pick up here and there.
As for the accusation that as the chairman of the committee that wrote
the relevant legislation, why pick on poor Charlie? Dingy Harry and
Dingbat Nancy never bother reading that shit.

House Panel Says Rep. Charles B. Rangel Violated Ethics Rules
A House investigative panel has concluded that Representative
Charles B. Rangel, Democrat of New York, violated a range of
ethics rules.
The investigative panel did not disclose any details about
the violations that it found, but one House official who has
been briefed on the findings said that they included some
that were among the most serious allegations that had been
examined.
In its investigation, which lasted nearly two years, the
committee looked into accusations that Mr. Rangel received
improper discounts on four rent-stabilized apartments he
rented in Harlem, that he failed to report or pay taxes on
rental income from a villa he owned in the Dominican
Republic, and that he improperly provided legislative favors
for a company that promised to give $1 million for an
academic center named for him.
