More Ethics Charges Against Rangel

 Disgraced New York Congressman Charles Rangel looked like he had escaped serious punishment. The censure by the House of Representatives was comparatively a slap on the wrist and it appeared that this would be the end. However, the New York Post is reporting that new ethics charges may be filed against the Democrat.

The FEC is acting on a complaint by the National Legal and Policy Center filed after The Post reported last month that Rangel paid nearly $400,000 from his PAC.
Lawmakers are only allowed to use money in their individual campaign funds for legal fees, or they can set up legal defense funds for such costs.
Rangel appeared before the House Ethics Committee last month saying he could no longer afford legal counsel after already burning through $2 million. 

This is becoming interesting....
