House panel finds Rangel guilty of ethics violations
A House ethics subcommittee found longtime Democratic Rep. Charlie Rangel guilty Tuesday on multiple violations of House rules.
The subcommittee, according to California Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren, the ethics committee chairwoman, found "clear and convincing" evidence of guilt on 11 of 12 counts, including failing to pay taxes on a home in the Dominican Republic, misuse of a rent-controlled apartment for political purposes and improper use of government mail service and letterhead.
The veteran New York congressman was cleared of a charge relating to an alleged violation of the House gift ban.
No bannanas for that monkey today
CPT O – you are SO right. Sad, but it DOES keep things interesting
I see CNN is pulling comments they don't like even though not in violation in their terms of use.
@DavidC... Impeachment is not reserved only for the president. Do some research before acting like a know-it-all.
the dude is right CNN is pulling comments. guess calling pols "slimyus ratticus" is not acceptable.
Slap on the wrist coming up. Pols (s. r.) who live in glass houses CANNOT throw stones. N color is not involved, thievery, venality and arrogance r what ol' Charlie suffers from.
Dude – I don't recall saying that it was reserved for a president, did I? While technically true, there has never been a house member impeached, and only one senator. There's little need to go to the time and trouble of an impeachment, is there, since each chamber has power to discipline their memberships. I'm not a no it all but I DO know how congress works. Now perhaps you'll tell us what you'd like to see in an impeachment?
Thievery and arrogance are what thy all suffer from
@DavidC... You said "Dude – Members of Congress aren’t impeached."
And you just conceeded, correctly so, that one Senator has... a Senator is a member of Congress.
QED
Dude – if you wish to gloat, please enjoy it, but I see you didn't answer my question. Remember, senators are not member of the house, I'd still like to see what you'd like in an impeachment
No, Senators are not members of the House, but Senators ARE members of Congress.
And what I'd like in an impeachment is a conviction and then see Rangel expelled, especially being (former) Chairman of Ways and Means. But there are other mechanisms by which this could be accomplished, Impeachment, however, could be one of those mechanisms.
Dude – you DO know that impeachment does determine guilt or innocence, right?
Dude- correction- Doesn't determine
Since Rep. Rangel has been found guilty impeachment is unnecessary
You better run charlie,since you got caught with your hand in the cookie jar already.
