Why Isn’t Nancy “Drain The Swamp” Pelosi Going After The Ethically-Challenged Charlie Rangel?

Because it would create a “ruckus.” Duh.

Why is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refusing a growing chorus of calls to drop the hammer on ethics-challenged Charlie Rangel?
Because, at the moment, doing nothing creates a lot less trouble for Pelosi than doing anything, current and former House aides tell POLITICO.
Stripping the Harlem Democrat of his chairmanship of the House Ways and Means Committee would force Pelosi to make a series of unpalatable decisions about Rangel’s successor that would create a ruckus in the Democratic caucus.
It would also infuriate the Congressional Black Caucus, which is still sore over Pelosi’s decision to strip committees from former Louisiana Rep. Bill Jefferson – even after Jefferson had been found with a wad of tainted cash in his kitchen.
“Unless they find $90,000 in his freezer, like they did with Jefferson, we’re going to wait [for the outcome of a House ethics probe],” said a Democratic aide familiar with Pelosi’s thinking on the matter.

Most ethical. Congress. Evah.

    If they started to clean up Democrat corruption in the House there wouldn’t be any Democrats left.

    Rangle is an idiot and he will pay for his ethics violations eventually.

    I’ll bet deep down she is just as dirty as he is. All of the favors she has arranged for Guam and the tuna plant her husband is involved in. She would look a lot better in a burqua.

    She is dirtier because she does it in the open and Rangel is just stupid. He gets a pass because of her and the donkey led house. Nancy doesn’t care what folks think. She does it anyway.

    She is not only more dirty, she is also more dangerous.

    Very true.

    Any honest Republican to them is a threat to their agenda.

    Any honest Democrat is an even greater threat to their agenda and for that reason, subornated, emasculated and eventually replaced with another Democrat, equally-corrupt as the leadership.

    Every action they take shows that they are the Domestic Enemy and they will dismantle as much of the United States and its Constitution as we allow.

    She said she’d drain the swamp. She meant that other swamp. Not her swamp.

    The reptiles she slithers along with need their habitat intact, like the delta smelt. What’s the matter with you people?
