Democrat Rep. Charlie Rangel has found himself in a bit of a pickle. After years of allegedly thumbing his nose at pesky things like rules, his supposed misdeeds may be coming back to bite him on the proverbial hind quarter. A House ethics committee subpanel today found Democratic Rep. Charlie Rangel guilty of 11 of the 13 charges of ethics violations against him.
The panel, composed of four Democrats and four Republicans, emerged after private deliberation to announce their findings.

Shout it on the rooftops and blast it on all media! But his party and his stupid constituents will come to his defense,along with fellow congress critters. Any other person would lose their job and pay for it.

From the article:
The subpanel will now submit its findings to the full ethics committee, which will schedule a public hearing to determine the appropriate sanctions to take against the longtime New York representative. Whatever action they decide on during the sanctions hearing will then go to the full House of Representatives.
In other words, sometime in 2018 or 2019 we might see something substantive on this.

That, plus his age. I don’t condone these violations. But for a Democrat, he was pretty moderate. And he served his country honorably in the Korean war.

...So—What are they going to do about it?
Answer: Nothing...
Just like his tax evasion case in the House.
As always, the rules are different for Democrats.

The primary to replace Rangle is tomorrow, June 28, 2016 and Rangel isn’t on the ballot.
There are 13 candidates on the ballot, 4 of which aren’t listed as democrats. Rangle
has been in office since 1971.

I heard a stern lecture is planned to scold him and let him know that this kind of behavior won’t be tolerated much longer so he better stop it.

Charlie was the ‘reform’ candidate who pushed the corrupt Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. from his Congressional seat. Just wanted his turn at the trough.
