This sounds good. But I do wonder just how long the Democrats plan on allowing this thing to drag out. Is there anyone that doubts whether or not Charlie Rangel is a corrupt crook at this point? I've seen more than enough, myself. And I can't imagine the Democrats allowing this to impact on the 2010 elections.
A House committee voted unanimously Thursday to expand its investigation into New York’s Democratic Rep. Charlie Rangel, CBS 2 has learned.
Congressman Rangel’s sudden recollection this summer of at least $500,000 in cash assets and tens of thousands of dollars of investment income has gotten him into more hot water.
The House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct issued a statement on Thursday that is now going to investigate his apparent lapses in memory as part of a probe that has already lasted 16 months.
Had they moved quick and early, I'd believe they might actually consider holding him accountable for at least something. All this delaying doesn't give me great comfort that he's ever going to see anything like justice in the end.
What am I saying? He's in Congress. Justice doesn't even enter into the equation. That's reserved for the little guys like you and me.
The question that needs to be answered is how does a guy making $174,000 a year LEGALLY amass a fortune in realestate, cash and stock?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

So long as it's "expanding" it ain't "concluding," thus the unanimous vote.
