The author conveniently ignores the fact Powell inspired Al Sharpton to become a preacher.

Just read that the RATS are stopping the investigation into corrupt Charlie Rangel’s activities now that the RATS are in power. Powell was corrupt and replaced by a another corrupt individual. Plus, who could ever forget that other corrupted politician that hid his money in the freezer.

More aptly, “Before Charles Rangel, there was Adam Clayton Powell.”

Powell was quite a piece of work.

Powell would face allegations that he misappropriated committee funds; an accusation that took flight due to his many absences from Congress as he sought refuge at a vacation home on the island of Bimini in the Bahamas. Powell was also hit with a court judgment for slander in a case involving a Harlem woman who he described as a “bag lady,” someone who doles out cash for political favors. Though the woman was known to be what Powell described, he lost the battle in court and then refused to pay the judgment. Rather than be served a contempt of court notice for his failure to appear, Congressman Powell set up camp on Bimini and returned to his district only on Sunday when court officers could not serve him papers.

Unfortunately, late in his career he succumbed to the temptations to misuse power and was eventually expelled from Congress for corrupt activities. Charles Rangel subsequently replaced him.

Yep, in every possible way.

Rangel is just a five and dime knock off of Powell.

Pelosi will keep her criminals protected as she tries to dump republicans in her most ethical congress ever.
