Thanks, I didn’t know that. I read somewhere how Charlie Range became wealthy by not campaigning and keeping money donated.
Charlie Rangel was in Congress from 1972 forward. He had a number of years to use campaign funds for his personal uses. The districts he has represented (he’s represented several over time, as boundaries changed) would vote him in if he served from prison, so once in office all following elections fundraising till the law was adopted barring those expenditures, the $$$ was purely for Charlie. You can bet on that.
