House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles B. Rangel (D-N.Y.) acknowledged yesterday that he hoped his personal entreaties to foundations and corporations would bring in donations to an academic center that bears his name.
Then tries to deflect it:
"Was my hope that these meetings would result in making financial donations to this important project with such an important public purpose? Of course," Rangel wrote to Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-Ohio), chairman of the ethics panel.
The congressman asked the committee to investigate him and wrote, "[I]f I inadvertently violated House rules, I am prepared to trust the committee's judgment and accept its findings."
"Inadvertently"? Bullshit. This guy is using every single loophole he can find to make his life better. He's rented 4! apartments around the New York area at a significant discount, leases a $700 a month car at YOUR expense, and is blatantly breaking house rules and trying to cover it up as "inadvertently"?
That's a bullshit lie and everyone knows it.
