FOW- Congressman Charlie Rangel was on Fox taking about Benghazi (another "honest" Democrat (yuk yuk yuk))

Charlie Rangel was on Fox tonight talking with Geraldo Rivera about Benghazi and accused Republicans were "politicizing and walking on the graves of 4 dead Americans" !

Well Charlie Rangel has no room to talk shit about ANYBODY and should put his own house in order .
Here is something that everybody should know about Congressman Rangel from November 16, 2010 :

Convicted: House Panel Says Democratic Rep. Charlie Rangel Guilty of Ethics Violations
In a rare trial, a special House ethics committee panel today convicted Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.), the once powerful chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus, on 11 counts of violating House ethics policies.

Rangel's violations centered around four areas:

Errors and omissions in his personal financial disclosure statements
The use of a rent-controlled residential apartment in Harlem as a campaign office
Failure to pay taxes related to a beach villa in the Caribbean nation of the Dominican Republic
And using official House letterhead to solicit donors -- including foundations and businesses with business before his committee -- for an academic center at the City College of New York named after Rangel.

"Rep. Rangel's conviction of ethics violations by the House ethics panel is a reminder to Congress and all Americans that ethical conduct in politics is a serious matter, and a shared value we must work harder to promote," said Sheila Krumholz, the executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics.

As for the charges stemming from Rangel's improper personal financial disclosures, Krumholz added: "Regardless of whether this was a sin of omission or commission, there's no denying that Rep. Rangel failed to uphold a basic obligation of office. He and colleagues in Congress need to start taking these reports seriously, because they offer one of the few, basic tools that constituents have available to ensure that public servants are making decisions based on the merits and not on the potential for personal enrichment."

The ethics committee charged Rangel on 13 counts in July. Today, the eight members on the adjudicatory panel rolled two charges into one, and they deadlocked, 4-4, on whether Rangel had violated the ban on accepting gifts, as he was going to be able to have an office and store papers at the City College academic center bearing his name.

Today does not mark the end of Rangel's troubles.
