Rangel remains in post

In spite of "forgetting" hundreds of thousands of dollars in income and rental property and in spite of the fact that he actually helps WRITE the tax code which they enforce, Charlie Rangel remains in his supervisory post in the most ethical administration EVER. Why? Pelosi doesn't want to rock the boat. What are they afraid of, you might ask? Read at Politico:

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.
