NBC: Rangel to give up tax committee gavel (temporarily)
« on: March 02, 2010, 08:16:12 PM »


"Sources: Ways and Means head to 'temporarily' leave post amid ethics woes
WASHINGTON - After being admonished by an ethics panel for accepting corporate-sponsored trips to the Caribbean, Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., will take a "leave of absence" from his chairmanship of the powerful House Ways and Means committee, NBC News has learned.

The top spot may temporarily go to Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich., according to leadership sources, or to Rep. Pete Stark of California, the committee's second-ranking Democrat.

Asked by an NBC reporter if he will remain chairman, Rangel responded with an emphatic "yes."

"You bet your life on it," he said.

But t wo Democratic sources tell NBC News that Rangel will take a "leave of absence" — beginning Wednesday — until the investigation is over." PMSNBC

Corrupt and lying bastard.
I watched him once say that in 2000 the SCOTUS stopped recounts when Bush had enough votes to win with the phrase "and that is what happened" which was a complete fabrication of the entire event.

He should be thrown out of office at the least and in jail after due process if found guilty.
You see DUmmies that lurk...this is what is called a real crime not a made up one based on political policy disagreements.

Why the timing?

Cause when you lose members of the Congressional Black Caucus, you know you're screwed.

He was on the news this morning. He expects to be exonerated and to return to his position.
