House Ethics panel expands Charlie Rangel probe
Like many Democratic politicians (And Obama nominees) they love raising your taxes, but not paying them!
Embattled Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) is headed for more trouble as the House ethics committee announced Thursday it has expanded its investigation to include Rangel’s financial disclosure reports, which show hundreds of thousands of dollars in previously undeclared personal assets and income.And of course it took the media to print this for Democrats to actually take action:
The growing investigation comes as Rangel continues to fight off Republican attempts to oust him from his chairmanship — the House voted largely along party lines on Wednesday to allow Rangel to keep his gavel while the ethics panel continues its months-long probe of the Harlem Democrat.
In July, Rangel quietly filed amended financial disclosure documents, going back to 2001, showing at least $600,000 in assets that he had never previously declared.
Rangel did not inform the ethics committee of the new reports, according to House insiders, and the panel did not find out about his move until the amended disclosure documents there were revealed by the media in August.

Politicians are a joke. All of them have their secrets and none of them are honest

Geez...Is it a prerequisite to be a liberal to be a crook as well? Or is that just okay with them too?
