Rangel-ing: Charlie Pays 'Angels' In Ethics Probe Harlem Congressman Gave Campaign Contributions To 3 Dems On Ethics Committee Charged With Investigating Him Reporting Marcia Kramer NEW YORK (CBS) ―
CBS 2 HD has learned of more alleged back-door dealings and political power peddling by Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel.
The reigning member of Congress' top tax committee is apparently "wrangling" other politicos to get him out of his own financial and tax troubles.
Here's a look at Charlie's so-called "angels" involved in his ethics investigation.
Congressman Rangel has been arrogant in refusing to discuss how, as the man who writes this country's tax laws, he failed to report over $1 million in outside income and $3 million in business transactions as required by the House, lapses under investigation by the House Ethics Committee.
"I recognize that all of you have an obligation to ask questions knowing that there's none of you smart enough to frame it in such a way that I'm going to respond," Rangel said.
There may be a reason for Rangel's arrogance. CBS 2 HD has discovered that since ethics probes began last year the 79-year-old congressman has given campaign donations to 119 members of Congress, including three of the five Democrats on the House Ethics Committee who are charged with investigating him.

The reason you know that the 119 crooks receiving money from Rangel are 100% democrat party hacks is the THE ARTICLE FAILS TO IDENTIFY ANY PARTY AFFILIATION.
Well he doesn’t store his bribes in the freezer so what’s the issue?
The real shock to me is that it’s a CBS affiliate investigating this story!
Flush Congress; the bowl is full.
Despicable POS.
His failure to respond is because you are not even intelligent enough to ask him the question in the right way.
Every ethics consultant has his price.
(Or in this case, Ethics Committee member...)
I thought that read 'The resigning member of Congress.'
I need another beer.
Hey IRS! Take the man to court and throw him in jail if he is guilty... just like you do to everyone else.
Scary shiite! This whole obanation is scary.
"Hey @$$holes! Here's my taxpayer funded cell phone. Go call somebody that gives a shi+. In the meantime, I'll be over here worrying about the damn ethics committee investigation."
Time for an ethics law suit by citizens. There has to be an agrieved tax payer, who has gotten huge penalities, to file a race or class law suit about power vs. the average taxpayer.
He needs to go home.
