Sloppy Charlie Rangel convicted on 11 of 13 counts of ethics violations

charlie-rangelRemember, Charlie Rangel was just sloppy. That surely explains why the corrupt Democrat was found guilty of 11 of the 13 ethics violations leveled against him by a House Ethics Adjudicatory Subcommittee. While Rangel likely wouldn’t be booted out of Congress, this is just another shining example of the corruption of the progressive liberal Marxist Democrat party. According to C-SPAN, this matter now moves to the full Ethics Committee. They will  hold a public sanctions hearing to determine the appropriate punishment for Rep. Rangel. “If” a violation is found, the Ethics Committee would vote on disciplinary measures and send a final report to the full House to take action. According to The Hill, Rangel was was asked if he had any reaction to the panel’s decision, Rangel initially told reporters, “Nope, none,” adding that he first saw the ruling on television.

Later, in an official statement, Rangel slammed the ethics subcommittee’s “unprecedented” decision, saying his due process rights were violated because the panel ruled without him having legal representation.

“How can anyone have confidence in the decision of the ethics subcommittee when I was deprived of due process rights, right to counsel and was not even in the room?” Rangel said. “I can only hope that the full committee will treat me more fairly, and take into account my entire 40 years of service to the Congress before making any decisions on sanction.”
