A House investigative panel on Thursday announced multiple ethics charges against Rep. Charles Rangel. The announcement means the case will go on trial before a separate ethics committee, which will decide whether the alleged violations are backed up by the evidence. Rangel, a New York Democrat, said he looks forward to the trial. He said Thursday that he's been asking for the opportunity to explain himself to his constituents for two years. Rangel was chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee until he stepped down in March following criticism from the ethics committee regarding a separate case. The announcement Thursday did not specify which alleged violations would be considered during the trial. http://congress.blogs.foxnews.com/2010/07/22/rangel-charged-with-ethics-violations/ This guy needs to just step down. |

I am not saying that because he is a Democrat because he would be replaced by a Democrat, but the guy is corrupt and right now is inneffective in Congress. We need someone in there atleast who is credible in his place. |

He was found guilty by different committees and panels. It now goes to the next level. If it has to go to trial, it still isnt proven. 'In March, Rangel reluctantly stepped down as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee -- a week after the ethics panel ruled in a separate case that he had broken congressional gift rules by accepting trips to conferences in the Caribbean that were financed by corporate interests. The panel said that, at a minimum, Rangel's staff knew about the corporate backing for the 2007 and 2008 trips -- and that the congressman was therefore responsible.

Here is a copy of the most recent poll on the Rangel situation.
Should Rangel Be Allowed to Cut a Deal? No -- He’s accused of some serious violations and Americans have a right to know the full facts. 98% (130,879 votes) Yes -- If Rangel and the congressional panel can avoid a drawn-out process and work something out, they should. 1% (1,600 votes) Not sure -- Is this really going to accomplish anything? 1% (1,017 votes) Other (post a comment) <1% (593 votes) Total Votes: 134,089 Dang........... |
