When it gets right down to it I don't truly trust many politians. Particularly when they have been entrenched for many years. Actually if I had my way we would just have think tanks that come up with viable proposals, teachers and experts to explain and discuss the issues from all sides, and then they should just let us go on line and vote for what we want and let the majority rule.

The man is a distinguished 80 year old. Cut him some slack. Doesn't seem like all that big of a deal to me. Let him retired peacefully.
Congressmen are such elegant speakers and have learned to say little with many words. They also know the difference between right and wrong. Sometimes power gets the better side of them and they begin to feel the law does not apply to them or it is such a gray area they can continue with questionable activities.
the house of representive members are all guilty of some wrong doing . of wsome kind , this is only a charade because we have a black president. his republican counter parts were looking for demacrat be cause to roast we have to remember the republicans are perfect.
He must have forgotten that he too must pay taxes. Two years have passed, no taxes paid....ooops! So sorry. I wonder if I can claim such ill memory loss or maybe our elected officials are able to pick and choose from a tax menu.
I think he's guilty but it's more of some kind of smear campaign. DC is like that. A lot of the Demos and Repubs are just slicker and get away with worse. He's small potatoes in my estimation compared to the feeders at the trough of the bankers. I mean a free coop in Harlem is one of the charges and that's hardly a coop on Park Ave. The insiders know this but it looks good to kill one of their own in public due to the anger and resentment out there regarding the Senate/Congress/and administration in general.
He beats around the bush to much to be telling the whole truth
Charles seems kind of mixed up on what he wants to say, using that he doesn't know and sometimes doesn't make sence.
