Wall Street Journal, 11/16/2010 - What's the difference between unethical behavior and corruption? --bc
- "...Mr. Chisam [Ethics Committee member acting as prosecutor] said he didn't believe Mr. Rangel's actions were corrupt, but were sloppy and in violation of House ethics rules.
The formal charges were filed against Mr. Rangel in July, prompting some fellow Democrats to urge him to leave Congress. The accusations aren't viewed by investigators as corruption or profiting from his position, but rather a failure to follow the rules of ethical conduct and accurately report his finances as required.
Thus, Mr. Rangel is unlikely to face expulsion from the House even with a finding of guilt; the most likely punishment would be a public reprimand."
