Democrats continue their culture of corruption: Rangel must go: He's the latest blight on a tarnished Congress Sunday, August 01, 2010 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The ethical swamp consuming U.S. Rep. Charles B. Rangel of New York is as big a problem for Congress as it is for his Democratic Party. But because the Democrats hold the House majority, the pressure is squarely on them to address the scandal. The only thing that will do that is his resignation or expulsion. Mr. Rangel, 80, was chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Committee until federal tax violations and ethics allegations forced him to relinquish the post two years ago. On Thursday, after a lengthy investigation, the House ethics committee issued a 40-page report containing 13 charges of unethical conduct against the Harlem Democrat.

Federal Government Was Rebuking Bank for Improper Activities as Waters Was Trying to Save It Stephen Spruiell The Corner The bank that Rep. Maxine Waters intervened improperly to save was even more messed up than we thought: <<< Cohee, 52, took a somewhat different view in his own life. His bank bought or leased luxury real estate he used and, until federal regulators complained in 2008, paid for his Porsche. Cohee's East Coast spread was an $880,000 condominium on Miami Beach's Ocean Drive, and out west the bank leased a $26,500-a-month mansion for him on Palisades Beach Road in Santa Monica, Calif., owned by Bruce Springsteen's drummer, Max Weinberg. A battle of lawsuits over the house -- Cohee complained that he had to ship in "a huge bar, a desk, a chandelier," and Weinberg accused him of installing secret surveillance cameras in the master bedroom -- led Cohee and his wife, through a corporation they formed, to buy the house for $6.4 million in late 2006. OneUnited then provided him a living allowance at the mansion, where, a year later, he was twice arrested, on sexual assault and drug charges. It was the bank's assistance with his expenses that helped provoke a cease-and-desist order from the federal government, accusing the bank and its officers of misspending and lax lending, and putting its operating license at risk. That order landed in the fall of 2008, in the same period that Cohee and his colleagues at the bank were in contact with Waters and House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) to secure tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer money to keep it afloat. >>> Emphasis added. .
