Some of us were cheering (quietly) when we heard that Charlie Rangel was being charged with ethics violations (again).
Now it comes out that lobbyists and unions are spending big bucks to defend him.
Rangel's legal fees were $2.16M in 2009 and savvy contributers to his campaign coffers know they are funding his legal defense.
In the first two quarter, 35% of Rangel's campaign reciepts were spent on legal defense.
If he were a Republican and large corporations and lobbyists were funding his legal defense, it would be the daily headline for weeks!
