Any US Citizen would be facing 15 years for these 13 serious violations. The ~~ethical~~ unethical swamp cleaning congress might scold him?

Make a note: when we storm the Capitol, hang the Ethics Committees first, and leave them twisting in the wind along the Potomac as a warning to others.

This would also kill off Powell’s primary challenge, since complaining about Charlie’s wrist-slap would mean Powell running against the House Democratic leadership, which would be suicidal.

In the private sector, not only would you be fired, but charges would be filed with the D.A. who would live to see you burn for such a ripoff, and a jury would agree, just SICK!

JIM TRAFICANT is all you have to remember. House expulsion AND seven years hard time.

Get the wrist slap Charlie, oh please get it. We want to run against scum like you.

Are all of the members of the ethics committee in safe districts? It looks to me like not a one of them should be re-elected.

Nevermind in-house punishment, that’s a variation of slaps on the wrist. Will the IRS audit Charlie? Has any enterprising journalist asked them?

Unless it comes to the floor in the NEXT congress, when the GOP will likely be the Majority. What sentence do you think Rangel would get if the GOP controlled the House? I couldn't figure out why Pelosi is doing this right before the Nov elections. She and Rangle thought that they would be in control in 2011. Now that she might not, hurry up and sweep under the rug.

How are the charges against Rangel less than what James Traficant was charged with?

BTW, I believe Traficant was framed.

I wonder if the Ethics Committee results would be different in January… or February, or October of 2012…

This worthless piece of absolute rotton stinking fetid garbage deserves a firing squad, preceding his corpse being tossed in the sewer.

He STOLE from the taxpayers.

Millions of hardworking people get their wages confiscated and THIS is what they get?

Charles Rangel has done nothing but steal from the taxpayers during his entire career.

On second thought, a firing squad would be too quick. True justice would require something far more painful and humiliating for this parasite.

[...] then, would be the only way to get Rangel out of office but, as Ed Morrissey notes, that option seems to already be off the table: WASHINGTON – A House investigator says the panel [...]

Why were some Democrats, a few anyway, asking for Rangle to resign? Oh, I just answered my own question. They are in iffy districts and realized nothing would come of the threat because of this very thing.

I admit out front that I’m a pseudo-troll. Only pseudo because I post the following thought to ponder but ask others not to comment on it since it would derail from the topic at hand; political scandals should clearly demonstrate one thing to unbelievers:

We live in a fallen world where self-deceptive sinful men convince themselves that they are doing good.
