Charlie will pay any back taxes and pay a fine. Probably be forced to take his name off two of his rent controlled residences in Harlem(wink...wink) and go on a diet so next time he’s photographed in his swimming trunks he won’t look like a beached whale.
The DEAL is that Rangel won't testify, there won't be a trial, the charges will go through a year of bending and molding so they won't have to be enforced.
Reason: There isn't a single person in Obama's administration who cannot be 'blackmailed', or 'taken down', by what Rangel knows.
He has them bent over a prison bed, and they know it.
