GOT to love the defense theory: Yeah, I did it, "But it’s not corrupt. It may be stupid. It may be negligent. But it is not corrupt.”
The fact is, this has been a winning strategy. It worked for the perjurer Bill Clinton. Trial before a "Parliament Of Whores" is a fair bet for a corruptocrat like Rangel.
In the real world, he DID (among LOTS of other offenses) occupy several rent-controlled apartments in New York City...which is against the law. It is also really CORRUPT, as it subsidizes the rich Chaaaaly at the expense of the poorest tax-payers in New York.
