Top Republican Says No Deal for Charlie Rangel in Ethics Scandal

Charlie is a crook, no other way to say it. He will not be charged with anything of a criminal nature, he will be allowed to retire, draw his salary the rest of his life and have several streets in Harlem named after him. His office has been a large funnel of taxpayer money to Harlem all these years. The American people
are suckers!

These should be made with great speed and the guilty party be fired from his position and cut from any pensions and further pay as well as sent to trial, not by a special group of people but by a regular criminal court and not waste any further time of government officials. 26,000 pages these people had to hash over and over because of one crooked man sent to Washington to represent the people of his state, people who have trusted him for 40 years. There should be no deals cut, just put him in the slammer and throw away the key, along with Blogavitch and every representative found to be guilty of any shady deals, including taking bribes from lobbyist. Isn't it amazing how these people spend their last dime to get to Washington and after a few short years leave millionaires?

Well, it would be nice, at the end of the day, if the taxpayers had one less outrageous pension to pay. Charlie could probably do quite well by simply living off whatever he scammed from the taxpayer.

Mr. Rangel's plight is getting worse by the minute. I haven't seen this rapid a political descent since President Nixon's plunge from grace after (R)Sen. Howard H. Baker, Jr., of Tennessee uttered those immortal words, "..what did he know, and when did he know it..."

He has no one to blame but himself.

lock him up

As I have stated in previous articles regarding Mr. Rangel, if this was a republican he would have been railroaded out of Washington by now. Having a majority and the Speakership of the House certainly has it's privileges. Nancy Pelosi stated she drained the swamp... Yeah right, not even close to a drought there dear Nancy, you have no intention of dealing with Mr. Rangel in the manner you would treat a representative from the other side of the aisle. We've all heard the expression "Put up or shut up" and it applies very well here to Ms. Pelosi. Here’s your chance to contribute to draining the swamp Nancy. My guess is you will cause dark and cloudy skies to enter the picture when you give Mr. Rangel a slap on the wrist with an admonishment "Don't do it again". That’s when the clouds will open up and add even more stench to the swamp you said you had drained.

He should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law! any ordinary citizen would be.

why hasn't criminal charges been filed?
