Will Rangel Cut a Deal?

Well, the Democrats sure want him to. Charles Rangel, the former chairman of the House of Means and Ways Committee, has a jury that is ready for him. They will discuss the charges and corruption that has been brought forth concerning the Representative.

Rangel's attorney has been negotiating with nonpartisan lawyers for the House ethics committee. Any agreement would have to be approved by Rangel and ethics committee members

The investigators looked at Rangel's misuse of his office for fundraising, failure to disclose income, belated payment of taxes and possible help with a tax shelter for a company whose chief executive was a major donor.

If this moves forward, the article is reporting that the trial will most likely take place in September. Several Democrats are asking for Rangel's resignation.

I think it's absurd this man wants to move forward but, if it's another Blagojevich, so be it. Rangel is just as much of a joke as Blago is.
