After an 18-month investigation, Representative Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) faces a House trial in which eight members (four Democrats and four Republicans) will rule on the findings. The alleged violations are reported to include some most serious ever leveled against a sitting member of Congress. From misuse of rent-controlled apartments in New York City and failure to disclose income from a villa in the Dominican Republic to reports that he exchanged official favors - a tax loophole for oil driller Nabors Industries Ltd. - in exchange for a $1 million gift to the Charles Rangel Center at City College of New York. Despite his growing problems, Rangle is still trying to act like he did nothing wrong. For more on Rangle's legal troubles you can check out almost any publication to get their take from Christian Science Monitor, Boston.com or Speakers Lobby at Fox News.
What makes Rangle's current troubles so bad is the fact that as of last November he was one of seven members of the Congressional Black Caucus under a full-scale investigation for ethics violations. It would have been 8 but the committee conducting the investigations agreed to defer to the Justice Department's investigation involving Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. As of today 5 have been cleared which as far as I'm concerned does not mean they are innocent, it just means Democrats control the investigative tools, and Republicans are too damn scared of being called racists to push the issue. Maxine Waters meanwhile is still under investigated and as I said Charles Rangle is being tried. Is it any wonder Nancy Pelosi and 20 members of the CBC are working on legislation that would change the rules that govern the "Ethics Panel"? Any bets on whether or not they get the changes completed in time to save Rangle's butt?
The CBC is a racist organization that now has one of it's former members presently residing in the White House doing all he can to destroy America. Any government group that meets to advance the wants and needs of its members, based upon their race, is inherently racist. It is also unconstitutional for any subversive groups to be supported by the government of the United States. Need I ask you what the MSM and the left would do if some white members of Congress decided to form the "White Congressional Caucus"? The CBC is a race baiting organization that has been exploiting their race by embracing tactics that continually use racism as it's main theme. Not to mention a majority of the members of the CBC are vocal supporters of the Marxist Black Liberation Theology which is not just anti-American, but ant-white.
Some of the rule changes the CBC would like to see made to the the Office of Congressional Ethics are as follows;
1.) "If the board of the Office of Congressional Ethics transmits a report respecting any matter with a recommendation to dismiss or that is unresolved due to a tie vote, the committee shall not make a public statement."
2.) "If the committee establishes an investigative subcommittee respecting any such matter, the report and findings of the board of the Office of Congressional Ethics shall not be made public until the committee has taken its final vote on the investigative subcommittee's conclusions.
3.) " Such investigative subcommittee shall conclude its review within one year after the board transmits a report respecting any matter. However, the committee shall make public the report and findings upon conclusion of review of the matter if misconduct is found, but no report shall be released if dismissal is recommended or if the matter is unresolved due to a tie vote.
4.) "At least one calendar day before the committee makes public any written report or findings of the board, the chairman shall notify such board and the applicable Member, officer, or employee of that fact and transmit to such individual a copy of the statement on the committee's disposition of, and any committee report on, the matter."
5.) "If, after receipt of a written report and any findings and supporting documentation regarding a referral from the board of the Office of Congressional Ethics or of a referral of the matter from the board pursuant to a request under paragraph (r), the committee agrees to a request from an appropriate law enforcement or regulatory authority to defer taking action on the matter, then the committee shall make no public disclosure unless and until the committee has acted on the matter."
6.) "The committee may not receive any referral from the board of the Office of Congressional Ethics within 60 days before a Federal, State, or local election in which the subject of the referral is a candidate. The committee may delay any reporting requirement under this subdivision that falls within that 60-day period."
7.) "Notwithstanding the procedure set forth in section 1(c) of such House Resolution 895 to undertake a preliminary review of any alleged violation of a Member, officer, or employee of the House, such a preliminary review may only be undertaken within 7 calendar days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays) by the board of the Office of Congressional Ethics after receipt, after the date of adoption of this resolution, of a sworn complaint from a citizen asserting personal knowledge of any alleged violation by that Member, officer, or employee of any law, rule, regulation, or other standard of conduct applicable to such individual in the performance of his duties or the discharge of his responsibilities."
8.) "If, after the date of adoption of this resolution, the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct votes to dismiss any matter as frivolous or unfounded that is referred from the board of the Office of Congressional Ethics and directs that all records of the Office of Congressional Ethics respecting such matter be sealed, then the office shall immediately seal such records."
I am not the least suprised that the very people who demand openness in the government are the ones who constantly waffle on openness when they are in charge. The Fascists who currently control the government are doing their best to make Hitlers Germany look mild. While the CBC may be the tail of the Democrat Party, it is the tail that makes that dog wag.
Make no mistake about it, the CBC is the Democrat party, and it is one of their own who is running this country into the ground. What we need to do is make sure that come November there are very very few Democrats left in Washington because they have proven how much they dispise this country time and time again. Any and all caucuses need to be outlawed. There is but one race in this country, and that race is American. It is time Americans wake up and realize that we have but one country and one people, regardless of the color of your skin.
