Congressman Grimm to Resign Tomorrow

[g5000]

Hey Whitehall;

Can you post that link to the guy who was convicted of raping an intern or whatever?

Maybe he was talking about Jon Hinson. Or Robert Bauman. Or Andrew Buhr. Or Paul Ingram.

When does Charlie Rangel resign?

Come on he's a Democrat. they don't have to resign they are special people

snip:

House ethics panel convicts Rep. Rangel on 11 of 13 counts of rule violations
The ethics panel split 4-4 on a charge that Rangel violated the gift ban because the plans for the center included an office and the archiving of his personal and professional papers.

The panel also found Rangel guilty of using an apartment in Harlem zoned for residential use as his campaign office, failing to report more than $600,000 on his financial disclosure report and failing to pay taxes on rental income from a villa he owns in the Dominican Republic.

Two counts charging him with improper use of the Congress’s free franked-mail privilege were combined into one.

Melanie Sloan, the executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, applauded the decision and called on Rangel to resign.

"All of Mr. Rangel's theatrics aside, the facts were clear: Mr. Rangel violated numerous House rules and federal laws," she said. "Whether these violations were deliberate or inadvertent, the American people deserve to be represented by members of Congress who adhere to the highest ethical standards. Mr. Rangel should resign."

It will be interesting to see just how comfortable the entire GOP is with racism.

Yep
Rangel should have resigned.
Pelosi Tax-Evading Republican Must Resign not Tax-Evading Democrats - The Last Resistance

Nancy Pelosi calls for resignation of tax-evading Republican politician over tax evasion conviction, but remains silent on tax-evading Democrats.

Ed Morrissey from Hot Air pointed out the laughable hypocrisy of Pelosi calling on Grimm to resign:
By all means, Boehner should hold himself and his caucus to the high standards exemplified by Pelosi while she held the gavel in the House. Right? Er …
“But a senior GOP aide pointed out that Pelosi didn’t call for the resignations of several House Democrats who found themselves ensnared in ethical controversies.
“’After standing behind Reps. Bill Jefferson, Charlie Rangel, Jack Murtha, and many others, Rep. Pelosi has zero credibility of these issues,’ the aide said.”
Jefferson lost his re-election bid after his $90,000 cash cache was discovered in his freezer; before that, Pelosi had stripped “Cold Cash” Jefferson of committee assignments but pointedly did not ask for his resignation.Murtha didn’t even get that much of a rebuke from Pelosidespite allegations of corruption, remaining one of the most powerful appropriators in Congress.
But Rangel provides the most laughable example of Pelosi’s sanctimonious hypocrisy. While Speaker, Pelosi presided over the censure of Rangel for11 counts of ethics violations, which included tax evasion as well as cashing in on his office to raise money for a school bearing his name, as well as other abuses of power.Other than censure and losing the opportunity to be the ranking member on Ways and Means,Rangel has suffered no professional setback,and continues to get support from Pelosi and the national Democratic Partyin his D+41 district during elections — including the most recent in November.

I don't think anybody would, but what has this got to do with tax fraud which is what the thread is about, not racism.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

bout time. he should have done it before the election

So remind me what your opinion was on the dem in Louisiana that not only won reelection but Pelosi complained she couldn't promote him to a better subcommittee because of the charges? You remember, the one that got caught taking a bribe and they found all the money in his freezer? The one that tried to use his Congressional Office in DC to hide evidence and the Dems complained when a search warrant was legally served on him there on a weekend so as not to disrupt Congress?

He's black, there's a different set of rules for him.

no. he wasn't the topic of conversation.

charges do not equal conviction. this loser was convicted.

get over it.

He was convicted retard. Remind us how you are a lawyer again?

You know the "Bundy contingent" here secretly admire the guy for trying to chisel the gov't (you know- the entity that maintains the military) out of revenue.

Try to find a restaurant owner on Staten Is. who doesn't evade taxes. Thanks to democrat administrations who are set on ruining the former "empire state" the only way you can survive in NY is to evade taxes or become a democrat or hire a high priced lawyer that charges more than the tax penalty is worth. For some perspective, the democrat party once gave a standing ovation to a congressman who returned to duty after being convicted of raping a male congressional intern.

I remember one being censured for sex with a minor, reelected several times and applauded. Liberal gay predator ...what a Studd
