Resolved Question: Who here thinks that Charlie Rangel is going to make a deal to get out of his ethics indictment?

I have $1000 that says he will make some kind of deal where he won't go to trial and will end up with nothing more than a slap on the wrist. What do you think? Haven't we put up with enough or Congress's corruption? excerpt... The Associated Press has learned that New York Democrat Charles Rangel is making a last-minute effort to settle his ethics case. A settlement would mean that Rangel must agree that he committed some ethical misconduct. The talks were confirmed by people familiar with the situation, but who were not authorized to be quoted by name. Rangel stepped down earlier this year as chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee because of an earlier ethics charge. A settlement would spare him an embarrassing ethics trial. It also would be a relief for other Democrats, who fear that an dragged-out ethics proceeding during the fall election campaign would hurt their ability to maintain their House majority. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100727/ap_on_go_co/us_rangel_ethics_6...
