I don’t have much to say on this. There are sour apples on both sides of the fence.I am curious how this will play out with the elections.

Embattled Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel was meeting with the head of the House ethics committee and other top Democrats amid rumors he may try to work out a deal rather than face a full vetting of the charges he is now facing.
A settlement would mean Rangel must admit he committed some ethical misconduct.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said Tuesday that “everyone would like for the Rangel issue to go away” and that the ethics process with Rangel is not a pleasant one.
Rangel would not respond Tuesday to requests for information about the investigation, citing the “sensitive circumstances” of the probe. He added to reporters: “You will not be able to frame any question, no matter how good you think you are, (to which) I will respond.”
Asked whether there was a deal, Rangel said, “Not that I know of.”
