Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, ranking member on the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, said Rangel was given an opportunity to settle charges during the investigative process, and that time has passed.
"Let me be clear that Mr. Rangel under these rules was given opportunities to negotiate a settlement during the investigation. Let me be clear that I did not participate in any attempts to cut a back room deal behind closed doors," McCaul said at the start of a hearing on possible corruption charges.
McCaul said it's not lost on any member of the panel that the approval rating of Congress is at an all time low, and requires the probe, which has involved 28,000 pages of documents and 60 meetings as well as one deposition from Rangel, be fair and open.
Committee Chairwoman [Democrat] Zoe Lofgren added that the "task is to determine whether Rangel violated that trust."

Sorry Charlie.
We need to send Rep McCaul a set of TruckNutz.

It’s about time someone with an R next to his name sacked up and did the right thing!!!
No.
Don’t let this guy go.
I guess the deal didn’t include frog marches, orange jump suits and tin cups for drinking.
Then again, I’m sure Charlie could “Wrangle” (pun intended) a term in one of the Country Club prisons, like the other “Beautiful People” do when they get caught.
Zoe Lofgren - another Dem left wing nut case. I’ll bet she is really PO’d at the Republicans for standing firm on this one. Let’s see how they try to drag out this Rangel mess in an attempt to keep his corrupt way under cover until after the election.
So does this mean he has to have his day in court? Does this mean he has to go through with the public airing of all the charges?
Will this happen between now and election day?
Good news!
LOL, perfect!
Isn’t there something odd about the phrase ‘cutting a deal with The Ethics Panel’?
Well, now that you mention it, yes ;)
You mean the dems are forced into doing something the way it is supposed to be done?
They must be furious.
The ethics panel refusal to resolve the wrangle with Rangel is merely all about racism, fear of a politically powerful black man. [sarc]
