| Rangel: Ethics probe to end "very soon" |
| 2009-05-30 |
| House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) tells Dow Jones that the House ethics committee is on the verge of concluding its investigation into sundry possible violations ranging from his Punta Cana resort income to his apparent misuse of congressional letterhead. "I am optimistic that this very soon will be wrapped up. They have a sufficient amount of staff now that this will be wrapped up much sooner than later," he told the wire service on Thursday. "I intend to soon be called as a witness." Rangel added that the probe was stalled by the death of former Chairwoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-Ohio), who died last August, as well as efforts to hire staff. |

| #1 Calling Charlie as a witness produces "I'm sorry" which produces a mild rebuke, which produces his reelection to give him another chance because he's sorry. Business as usual. |
