Breaking-FNC--Rangel has struck a deal

FNC | 7/29/10

[KansasGirl]

Per Foxnews, a local affiliate is reporting Rangel has struck a deal. FNC is working to confirm...

[Osage Orange]

How much ya wanna bet?

[TomGuy]

FoxNews producer just moments ago said that Rangel is saying he is unaware of a deal being struck.

[Committee members are voting in the full House, so the Committee meeting is delayed.]

Ladies and gentlemen, here is today’s Double Standard Alert!

If he were a Republican, he’d be sooooo thrown out of Congress!!

[allmendream]

Its crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide.

[TomGuy]

If Rangel can break the law without any responsibility, then we have no responsibility to abide by the law.

If the FED isn't inforcing it, it doesn't exist. We now have precedent, from the AZ ruling.

[Unintended consequences.]

Was there some remote circumstance where they would not carry the district?

[Always Independent]

I think BO had something to do with the leaks They are looking for a way out of the Afghan problem and these leaks may just be it.

Charles Dent, Pennsylvania?

[dan on the right]

The NY Post can and should take credit for the entire outing of Rangel. They have done more incredible investigation work on Rangel, Gov Patterson, and a number of other organizations (not to mention all the criminals in the Albany legislature). No one, not the slimes, the WSJournal, Daily News have near the track record that the Post has in outing these bums. The most treasured of my three paper subscriptions! (Post, WSJ and local rag).

Go Post!

Theres no deal yet. He wants to say he was sloppy not criminal.
Pubbies better know there is no deal their voters will accept.

[KwHorn77]

We all knew his DemoNazi cronies would let his worthless self off. Charlie Rangel is nothing but a SCUM sucking SOB!

[AuH2ORepublican]

I think dead had his tongue firmly planted in his cheek when he posted that.

[Optimus Maximus]

Rangel, a Dem, has his law-breaking whitewashed by the Dems in Congress.

Gingrich, a Repub, has his non-law breaking trumped-up charges used to force his resignation, and is eventually exonerated, which is never given the publicity the trumped-up charges were given.

In other news, water is wet.

Please, can we give Tiger Woods a break? Obama and the Dems are screwing the whole country...

[EODGUY]

I agree. I knew once the “investigation” ended, he would cut a deal.

My issue is that US citizens deserve to view his numerous ethics violations revealed in court or a pervasive hearing, at least.

If there was ever a reason for that hack Holder to litigate an issue, this is it......but we’re dealing with a democrat administration so we know we’ll never know the extent of Charlie’s crimes. Just plain sickening!!!!!

EODGUY

[Textide]

Megyn Kelly on FNC just stated that there is no deal and the hearing will open at 2pm (~20 mins from now).

[Textide]

Now saying that according to the WSJ, there has been a deal.. ugh

[b4its2late]

Hope she’s right.

[Vigilanteman]

This is, of course, Adam Clayton Powell's old district. The morals of this country have sharply deteriorated since that time. So temporary ouster from congress would be the maximum penalty, not a likely penalty.

Hell, we have an impeached former federal judge who ousted for bribery and malfeasance serving in congress when he should be serving in jail. Rangell has done nothing that bad. Who can name the disgraced former judge routinely reelected to congress?
