The subcommittee, according to California Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren, the ethics committee chairwoman, found "clear and convincing" evidence of guilt on 11 of 12 counts, including failing to pay taxes on a home in the Dominican Republic, misuse of a rent-controlled apartment for political purposes and improper use of government mail service and letterhead.
He was cleared of a charge relating to an alleged violation of the House gift ban.
Rangel had been facing 13 charges; the committee combined two of them.

does it really matter? he's not going to resign or get kicked out. he'll get some BS rebuke and that's it.

I'm not surprised. Now just waiting for him to say it was a setup or the man is against him.

don't see the big deal. he's not going to face the same penalty as we would. he'll still serve in congress and will not resign. I hope he stays, because he and pelosi will be great faces for the dem party come 2012.
