From those rim shot writers at The Hill:
"Growing ethical turmoil surrounding Rangel has prompted calls for Pelosi to yank Rangel’s gavel. Rep. Darrel Issa (R-Calif.) on Wednesday called on Rangel to release his tax returns. He also said Democratic leaders should yank Rangel’s Ways and Means chairmanship if he refuses or if the returns show tax reporting violations.
“There’s enough [failures to disclose assets] that it’s starting to look more like a pattern…the public has a right to know if he pays his taxes and if he has a pattern of not paying his taxes,” Issa said in an interview with The Hill. “If he failed to file his taxes in any of these circumstances, he should not be allowed to be the chairman of the tax-writing committee.”"
Rangel's criminal hubris, in the guise of Chairman of the House Ways & Means Committee, the committee that decides tax policy, is well documented with a 17 point bullet list by lawhawk. A list that would have you or I in prison.
"But Democratic aides say that Pelosi will not pressure Rangel to resign his post or censure him publicly unless the House ethics committee finds him guilty of misconduct or a prosecutor brings charges."
That's because this Congress is extremely transparent & ethical. Of course.
TY to these giggling malcontents.
Update: Hey. You know how Charlie got the nickname Buffoon?
