Rangel spends $111,000 on legal fees in 2 months From Associated PressSeptember 04, 2010 7:01 PM EDT NEW YORK (AP) — A federal campaign finance report shows embattled New York Rep. Charles Rangel has spent more than $111,000 on legal bills since July. A House ethics panel has charged the Harlem Democrat with 13 violations, including using a rent controlled Manhattan apartment as a campaign office and failing to pay taxes on a rental property in the Dominican Republic.
Rangel has vowed to fight the charges. He's expected to face a House trial in the fall.
The New York Daily News reported that the congressman's latest campaign filing Friday shows he's spent more than $1.8 million on legal fees related to the case. He's paying much of the money out of his campaign account.
Rangel is running for a 20th term in the House and faces several challengers in the Sept. 14 Democratic primary.

...one must ponder just how much of Mr. Rangel's legal defense is being covertly financed by the American Taxpayer. And just how much of that covert financing is being provided by the very people in charge of prosecuting Mr. Rangel.
...Obama again?? ...Really??
