What does someone speaking Spanish have to do with the dollar amounts going up in the ledger/bank account? Last time I checked, income was not language-sensitive, unless Rangel is going to try to claim he was getting paid in pesos, no idea the exchange rate and just *didn't understand* that the pesos were going to be taxable income.

I want to know if along with back taxes/fees due, will he also suffer some kind of penalty because the disclosure docs he's been providing the House have been incorrect all these years? Pain of perjury and all that.

They need to investigate further back. I’ll bet that 5 grand is just for last year.
