There it is. Someone finally got a congresscritter to answer the right question on the record.

I’ll bet you do, chuck. You’ve had one long, greasy career. I’ll bet you don’t step out much, back in the hood.

Rangel is the most slimey criminal in congress and that’s saying a lot. He’s so corrupt that it’s amazing he isn’t hitlery’s running mate.

This should be good for some downers……….
Forgive me reposting this as I posted after Stucky put this same quote of Chuck’s up for discussion the other day, this time I will pose it as a question.
Do any of you think it is a HUGE coinky dink that Charlie Rangel had a one on one meeting with the Orlando night club shooter Mateen’s father within the last year? And now he is all in a tither over gun control………..hmmmmm. Bastard!
Yikes, Bea, they are all in on it one way or another…
an agenda is identified, and they are ordered/by implication,
to start with the BS. Rangel’s statement doesn’t even make
sense/”lawful citizens shouldn’t have to carry guns”…but,
know what, the lawful have the right to! It is the second statement that shows what kind of person he is. Voting?
We have to create a new paradigm, 2 terms and out. Some
of these people have served way too many terms…to even count.
Who keeps voting for them? How about they stop mummifying
in office?

Charlie Rangel Found Guilty on 11 of 13 Ethics Violations
By Tom Knighton June 25, 2016
Democrat Rep. Charlie Rangel has found himself in a bit of a pickle. After years of allegedly thumbing his nose at pesky things like rules, his supposed misdeeds may be coming back to bite him on the proverbial hind quarter.
A House ethics committee subpanel today found Democratic Rep. Charlie Rangel guilty of 11 of the 13 charges of ethics violations against him.
The panel, composed of four Democrats and four Republicans, emerged after private deliberation to announce their findings.
“This has been a difficult assignment,” committee chair Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) said. “We have tried to act with fairness, led only by the facts and the law, and I believe we have accomplished that mission.”
The subpanel will now submit its findings to the full ethics committee, which will schedule a public hearing to determine the appropriate sanctions to take against the longtime New York representative. Whatever action they decide on during the sanctions hearing will then go to the full House of Representatives. The committee could go so far as to recommend expelling Rangel, but that would be unlikely. Other possible sanctions include a House vote deploring Rangel’s conduct, a fine or a denial of privileges.
The only other investigation of this scale was James Traficant’s, and he was eventually booted from his lofty position in Congress.
Unsurprisingly, Rangel claims he wasn’t treated fairly. Apparently the fact that the panel was four Republicans and four Democrats is irrelevant — they were being mean to him or something. He also cites a lack of legal counsel as an issue.
‘A Criminal Organization Masquerading as a Political Party’
However, Rangel had counsel. They dropped him after allegedly butting heads over defense strategy. Rangel seems to think the investigation should have just ground to a halt until he could get another attorney. This despite his claim that he couldn’t afford a new lawyer and was unable to set up a legal defense fund so others could pay for it on his behalf (apparently GoFundMe is just too complicated).
I take it Dan Rostenkowski’s faux pas pales in comparison?

This is unusual, a leftist politician being honest while being on record.
Other than that no one should be surprised, it’s a pretty obvious pervasive attitude among our leftist rulers (both political and private).

OK so…it appears he hates the proletariat enough that he will swindle them of their God given (natural) right to defend themselves. Sure sounds like, at best, dereliction of duty to the oath he took & at worst, a hate crime.

oops…what, he met one on one with Mateen’s father?
Shite…the plot thickens. Judge Napolitano/Rick Wiles…=
no shootings occurred B4 swat showed up and all the 911
tapes, (surrounding counties get them too) have vanished
v FBI, and are now unavailable. Nice. Remember propaganda
intended for the citizenry is now legal. Terrorism and mass
shootings increase all budgets. So if nothing happens the
law people just make it up. Create a “live drill”….to bad we
can’t petition God/the Power of Good, to strike all the liars
involved down, in one fell swoop.

Corruption, hypocrisy and failure to uphold the Constitution – all in one package. Rangel, go rot somewhere else.
