Republican aides said that Rangel faces the possibility of a formal reprimand by the House or possibly even a censure motion Oh, the huge manatee!
None of this will stop the racist democrat from being reelected.

Thursday’s unexpected announcement that the House ethics committee would begin a trial on ethics charges leveled against Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) came after a secret, months-long effort to settle the case fell apart, according to several sources close to the situation. Ah....Transparency!

"...a formal reprimand by the House or possibly even a censure motion..." Why am I cooperating with our government's confiscatory taxation if the worst that could happen is someone formally calling me a bad guy?

Rangel should be indicted for Federal income tax evasion...however Obama appointed US District Attorneys are certain to give a blind eye to Rangel’s tax frauds.

a secret, months-long effort to settle the case fell apart, They figured that they couldn't stall it out past the election. If the House changes hands, then somebody might go to jail.

I don’t see where Rangel has too much to worry about here. If the Republicans win the House, he can string this out until just before they take over, and accept a deal. If the Republicans don’t take the House, he will be home free.

They already have. The Congressional Black Caucus is complaining that ethics investigations are targeting them unfairly. Of course, if they had not done anything wrong... but never mind that. It must be racism. Yeah, racism.

"Republican aides said that Rangel faces the possibility of a formal reprimand by the House or possibly even a censure motion, although Democrats said it was premature to discuss what punishment will be recommended by the ethics committee." Ha ha ha ... a formal reprimand or even a censure motion. Ooooooo scary stuff. That'll really teach that rascally Rangel guy about making dough on the side and not telling anybody about it. I bet Rangel is losing weeks worth of sleep just staying up all night worrying about a "formal reprimand" or a "censure motion". Oh the humanity!

Oh, the horror! Beat me, whip me, make me write cold checks! If this was anyone of us, they would have us in the electric chair fried as an example.
I’m sick of these SOBs
