So go sell one of your numerous properties and get yourself another lawyer! This guy wants to plead poverty after fifty years of enriching himself at the public trough!

Government in this country has gotten very ugly!

he had a lawyer till over the weekend when they quit, or he fired em.
guess it depends on how you interpret things. lawyers said they quit because they were worried about getting paid.

For someone with 50 years in public service and 40 in the same house seat, i would think he would have more than 2 million dollars saved as he said he had

Couldn't it be that these corrupt politicians cover for one another believing the old adage, "There but for the grace of God go I"?

Just a thought.

Nov. 15: Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y. appears on Capitol Hill in Washington before the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct's adjudicatory hearing into his alleged ethics violations.

WASHINGTON -- A House ethics panel has found Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel of New York guilty on 11 counts of breaking House rules.

The full ethics committee will next conduct a hearing on the appropriate punishment for the former chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. The committee will then make a recommendation to the House.

Possible punishments include a House vote deploring Rangel's conduct, a fine and denial of privileges.

The eight-member ethics panel had sat as a jury to judge Rangel's conduct. The 80-year-old congressman from Harlem was charged with 13 counts of financial and fundraising wrongdoing.

Ditto that james! Perhaps he should check his freezer to see if he has any of that emergency slush fund still lying around. Sounds like he could use it about now....
