This was posted at 12:42 eastern. Who knows what to believe, but a deal seems likely, despite Rangel's denial.

Wonder what sort of promotion he’ll get, in exchange for keeping quiet.

The deal was no trial, no jail, charges to be dropped eventually.

The worst thing for the Democrats is if Rangel has to testify.

This 'announcement' means he now he has asked for money, on top of everything else. He is 'rattling their cage' by announcing he 'might be testifying, as in the Jesse Jackson type shakedown.

Gimme some mo' money and I'll retire to another country. Otherwise, you all go down with me.

This is the primary reason dems never get convicted, or prosecuted. They've all got the goods on each other, so they dare not 'probe' into another Dems 'ethics' too close.

You go, Rangel. Drag the Dems through the dirt. You’ll still get reelected, but you may flip some Dem seats. This calls for some of my stove top caramel popcorn. Mmmm.

Rep. Charles Rangel said Thursday there's no deal yet

He wants more money. They haven't offered him enough yet to go away. He's holding out for more.
This is a huge money maker for 'ol Charlie. Either they pay up, or his "trial" buries their campaign message ("Bow down and worship us, and all the free money in the country will be yours").

He is holding out for more cash from the messiah’s stash just like many others of “his kind.”

The sad part is he’ll be re-elected.
